Rear quarters are also N/L/A . I have some front wings and a tatty front bumper.

To replicate a M3 PROPERLY will cost many thousands, and that is just for the parts. Then you have to fit them.

Going by what bits have been selling for recently, you're looking at £400 + for some well used skirts, and £350+ for a well used front bumper.

It won't be long before its cheaper to tidy up a scruffy m3 than try and create a proper replica which will never be an m3.
cheers,

Replica days of using all original parts is coming to end, with many parts now NLA and expensive its going to start being all that full fibreglass kit which usually looks Fo0ked.


If your looking to buy one there is a touring with the full original kit on ebay currently.

Just because a part is NLA doesn't mean it'll be always NLA. If there's enough demand, BMW will produce a batch.

To be honest, I'm surprised rear arches have gone NLA. There might not be that many e30 m3s in the world, but a lot of them are still regularly raced and rallied, and the road cars are worth enough that people spend a fair bit of money restoring them. I'd have thought there would have been a fairly constant ( if small ) demand for them.
cheers,

harry

If rear quarters are NLA, that's only a recent thing.
