hi all

im new to the e30 scene, been wanting to geyt a M3 for ages but unable to fine a project in my budget, then thought about building a replica...but it will always be a replica, so decided to look at the 325i touring with a m3 evo kit on it including replacing the wings. i have seen that this has been done by a few people, the only problem i have is that they have all done it with metal wings , i cannot see where to obtain these , and was wondering if it can be done in fibre glass...appologies if this is a repeat post, but really keen to get stuck in to a new project so any help or advice welcome

welcome

yes fibreglass is an option, so are carbon panels

fiberglass panels are available from here (he's also a trusted member)

im always up for a challenge , ideally if i can find some metal wings , it will make it easier to relocate the rear handle to keep as a 4 door

Looking at engine transplants , saw the article on the S54 , what is everyone's option for best upgrades, ie. change the cams and make do with the std block, or replace the engine for something a little different?
