On an M3

It's a different body, not just a stick on kit.

If you try putting these type of arches on an non M3 they'll look stupid because the M3 has totally different geometry. The rear screen is a different angle, the boot is different etc etc.

The only thing you can do without putting a sh*t kit on is have your arches pulled/flared. Any body shop should do it and you can have them as wide as you like tbh, well within reason. A lot of people do it to accomadate bigger wheels etc, so if your leaving everything standard and just want wide arches it might look a bit wierd without bigger wheels etc to match
