Just looks wrong, like someone has tried to recreate an m3 having only seen blurred thumbnail size photos.

I also doubt the kit was factory fitted, and the exhaust looks bodgetastic to say the least!

Just needs a set of eBay m3 badges :wink:
cheers,

Its the Leather seats with Houndstooth door cards & the awful gear knob, which looks the worst IMO.

"WAS TOLD BY PREVIOUS OWNER TO BE ONLY 1 OF 7 RHD E30s" - makes the two I've owned previously pretty rare!!

It's not an m3 kit, it's m3 lookalike, probably entirely fibreglass. The bottom of the wings and the skirts are completely wrong, as are the bumpers.
cheers,

on the plus side it does have a lovely business phone!

But seriously, I don't know my M3s like most on here, but that kit looks very wrong in quite a few places... and that exhaust made me laugh!

Its a C reg and M3 weren't out till 86 - possible to be an "official" UK reg car so soon after the M3 was introduced?

Rang about this today, Getting MOT'd wednsday.

No service history, sills have been replaced, as for the kit.. :mad:

Never seen anything like it to be honest. Comes down on the DVLA as just a 325i.

Im also giving this a miss, the car will be made of filler Gauranteed!

If you search on here their was a topic from when it was for sale last year, Most of the comments were similar to above.

Nice guy though either way.

my bet is, a festering 2 door 320/325i and numerous newspapers are lurking beneath the masses of fibreglass ! :eek:

Looks like one of many wide body conversions that were offered in the 80's.

Aaaaaaargh my eyes!

Notice we haven't got a pic from the front or back. The flared arches don't seem to have much flare at all.

A confused mix of curves and bulbous areas. Smoothed where it should be more angular.

The kit is fibreglass, behind the rear arches is the original arch 8O

Meaning the wide arches have just been banged over the top of the rest, probably riveted down near the door and smoothed with filler, lots of it!

Reminds me of a thread on retro-rides called "it was acceptable in the 80-s" that's full of this stuff. Hilarious!
