Not a fan myself,all you will be able to do is widen the track in a similar way to a 'proper' M3.
Bear in mind that there are lots of other detail differences needed to make a half decent M3 replica.

Bought a gearknob off them, seemed a bit joyless but it was a good transaction to use ebay parlance. Miserable fuker wouldn't take the VAT off for me though (I'm VAT exempt)

Tough work, but if done right, looks great.

No not doing a cab,got a 2 door. Not really after a "replica". Just want the great look combined with right hand drive and the s50 engine.
Just think itd be the ultimate e30 (probably after £15k you all shout!
)
Its only money anyways!!cant take it with you

Hmmmm could make an Alpina B6S look alike. Drop a m30 3.5 in it and your well away.

Well I would let you get a mould off mine but I've had it rivetted on. Ravi why not just get the real macoy off Alpina, you've been messed around for nearly a year now mate waiting for that moulded copy.

Remeber to lube up first!
If he's got one for sale he'll ask a fair price , unlike BMW and Alpina dose!
