my M3 cab replica so far

[maynee007]

started this a while ago now, all posted up in the s50 section as im dropping a b32 in. All oem parts were used including doors and quarters. resprayed Alpine white 3. I kept facelift taillights as I prefer them to skinny pukey ones!!!

This is my s50b32 with 33k ECU mapped flashed 5spd box

















Sprayed but not flattened and buffed



flattened...

Just needs to be polished before it can come come out the bodyshop......cant wait to see it sparkle in the sunlight!!!

Good thread

[/// KAMI]

looks nice....imo i would of used a pre facelift shell so the rear lights would of been the same as the actual M3 cab ones....

looking good....

[maynee007]

i think if i'd gone left hand drive with it then i would have done prefacelift lights aswell, but seen as though there was no getting away from the fact its replica I thought id put facelift lights on as i prefer em...

[bimmerteam_hu]

looks great but you have to change the rear light ASAP

[maynee007]

no chance.....i love em!!!

[IvanB]

Great project, only the rear lights don't fit

[maynee007]

they fit well and propa....the problem is some people worship cars and some people pimp them!!!lol thanks for your opinion for real, i appreciate it.

[maynee007]

may i also remind you that respect should be given to the 318i '91 facelift which gave its azz up for titty and booty conversion, hence a little respect shown in preserving the taillights.

I agree about keeping the facelift lights,as you say Wayne its never going to be a genuine M3.
Personally I think they look good.
Cool project,looking forward to more updates

[maynee007]

how come you guys are not concerned with the rhd??? its always silly things like badges and lights, my god!!! look at the picture above the facelift lights look sooo much better then the 'they forgot about me' lights. pre facelift lights are the only thing that let the m3 body down

[maynee007]

its maynee not wayne!!!lol but your message kicked bootee so respect!!

Love this project,

I'm planning on doing a e30 convertible from scratch in a few years and I'm still umming and arring about doing an m3 kit..

How much is all the bodywork costing if you don't mind me asking? pm me if you don't want to say it out on here!

Keep up the work and I look forward to seeing more pics!

And keep the facelift lights lol..If I was to do it, I'd probably be doing it on a 92'K !

[maynee007]

Ive decided to not get the car polished up just yet, gonna drop in the b32 first and then once ive got the MOT etc sorted then ill get it detailed before i take pics of the finished article.

[Adil786]

[breakermart]

[breakermart]

has there been any progress to report on your cab?

[maynee007]

slow progress to be honest, i've put the e36 compact trailing arms on to check the offset of the wheels i bought, i was told they'd be sticking out!!??!! anyways...








Hoping to have the interior install pictures up sometime next week. Hows yours coming along?

[breakermart]

looking good, likeing the wheels too, mine is steadily coming along, iv just fitted the compact rear arms too and also converted the fronts with m3 struts disks and callipers n so on, just got some crappy wheels on at the moment just to keep it mobile until I can afford some bbs. apart from that nothing new lol. theres so much I want to get on with but its all money. oh yeah got my sump conversion on its way in post. lol

[IvanB]

Any progress ?

[maynee007]

been running around today buying last few bits for the conversion, brake servo, e34 dipstick tube and o-ring, bushes etc. Cars going to amw motorsport for conversion, adrian (engineer) will be dropping the lump in aswell as the ss exhaust, wiring, oil cooler (mokal), prop & diff. Diff needs crown and pinion changing to 3.25. will be putting the pics up as the work progresses. Still not sure on what coilovers to get???

[ImysE30]

Nice

[maynee007]

cheers imy....im nearly there!!! got goosebumps mayn!

[ImysE30]

Gaz Coilovers seem to have a good reputation, check 'em out

Likewise mate, I can't wait to get mine back. They'll look like twins parked next to each other

[maynee007]

!

this is where it went wrong !
can't believe you went full rear quarters and didn't go pre-face rear panel to keep it sweet this would look so much better with early lights,

[magpie]

nowt slips under the radar Steve .
