Can the M3 front side panel be on a E90 (320)

[jseah_70]

Hi all,
I was in PML today and saw this nice M3 with its Front side panel, I was wondering if that panel can fit a E90-320i? Is there a shop/place where I can do this change, I really like the side right/left turning indicator light on the M-series car....any idea what I'm talking about?

Thanks in advance.

Hi acupunch,
I really don't understand why as it involved only a cut-out and the installation of this M3 side grille into the original E90 panel? I maybe wrong, but define an arm or leg...$10K...each?

Thanks for your info, i appreciate it actually

Why? because the M3 front bumper, front bonnet and head lights are ALL different from your E90. The M3 Side panel is made of a different material (Made of PU like material, correct me if I am wrong) Mike won't cut your OEM panel, Cos the whole original M3 side panel comes with the side blinkers.

So unless Mike can cut/alter the original M3 side panel then it can be done. If not you have to change ALL the above mentioned parts...SO thats why it cost a bomb.

this conversion is different from last E46///M3 side grill design or E60///M5. according to BMW parts its the entire side panel, both left & right. and yes, what Silver bro mention is right. its some plastic like material. E90 ///M3 and E92/93 ///M3 side is different.

according to my research, once want to change to E90 ///M3. you have to change the entire front end of the car. front side fender, ///M front bonet lid, ///M front bumper, E92 alike bi-xenon headlights and E92 alike front grill. if that's not cost an arm or a leg, you should see a few doing it on E90.

on the other hand E92/93 are cheaper to MOD to ///M alike. cos only the side fender and front bumper needed. the ///M front bonet lid is optional. others the E92/93 already had it on their car.

hope I didn't confuse u.

Thanks for the comment guys.

Mike told me I can't mod to that because the width is different. Actually, the reason I want that is because I like the styling not becuase its M 'series', just like it. Anyway, just asking lah...hehe
