M3 look for 325i

[Faze]

I am considering going with an M3 look for my 93 325i. I need to replace both bumpers either way (the joys of buying used cars), and I could go stock, but I love the M3. Here is a short list of what I think it would need... please point out any innacuracies or omissions.


Front Bumper
Rear Bumper
Side Skirts
Side Mirrors
M Badge (which I would not use, probably debadge)
Wheels?

Just wondering since the body work will need to be done at some point. If I stay with stock components, I will at least do the bumpers and skirts in body color, and not the grey. Not a huge fan of the grey.

Just warning you, you will get some flak for this on this board, especially if you put an M badge on there.

interior as well . . . .

there's nothing wrong with GREY ! ! !

i would think he would only get flak if he put the m badge on it (which he said he wouldn't do). Everything else would look good.

Yeah, I would not false badge like an R-type civic. I am not cool like that.

I just have to consider the M look body parts, not interested in doing the interior. I really like my interior (except for the speaker surrounds, but that is a common problem from what I hear). Since I need bodywork in the first place, and I do need it, I thought it would be a good idea to consider my options. Would it be preferable to do a sport suspension with a mild lowering if I am doing M style body parts? Stock M3 is probably lower than a stock 325.

do the suspension anyways becuse a lowered 3 series looks so awosme and yes the m3 is lower than the 325is and the body parts from the m3 are tight and as you said i would only go with them if i needed it like you said you do. also the grey does suck i have seen it and dont like it. all the cars should have a matching body parts

86 the badges and go for the rest. i am as soon as i get the money.
