Please put LCI rear lights, Prefacelift ones look dire.

I think 'dire' is a bit dramatic. They tweaked it! Looks great, love the project!

Pre LCI Darklines make a HUGE difference, i have had them on 2 of my 3 E91s

[BorkFactor]

Watching with interest, would love one of these!

[M3John]

Watching this with interest !

[RB Will]

you are mad! in a good way. When I was selling my last car one of the potential buyers turned up in an E36 tourer that had M3 bumpers and running gear.

[eddiethekid]

Awesome stuff, will be following this I think!

[RZ1]

Great idea

[mpm1987]

Superb.

I look forward to seeing the results.

[GuyWMD]

Awesome stuff!
I really look forward to seeing this progress.

With regards to pre LCI lights, a set of darklines sorts them right out. Currently got a set fitted to my E91 330d.

Will keep an eye on this!
Id love an M3 or M5 Touring, if only they made them... one would of drawn me away from the high performance Audi Avants I think

What about an E60 M5 touring

E61 M5 Touring. Only made 222 for the UK market:

Mine (any excuse for a pic):

Is that a 320d SE base car? Impressive transformation haha

No the base car is a 325i SE touring. The tailpipes were cut off and welded downwards to clear the rear bumper like on a VW Golf

I agree re the pre LCI lights they are not the greatest design that BMW ever came up with. The Darklines are a big improvement and I was considering going with them, however I will be fitting the LCI tailgate and lights.

Nice car!

[Autosdirect]

Love these kind of builds!!

I did a few replicas as first cars few years ago

106 gti,started as a base 1.1
Megane 225 sport

Never did the running gear on the megane so it stayed as a 1.5dci but looked well lol

But seeing the pictures brings back my body shop days memories and how I will never miss that sector of the motor trade!! But made me appreciate the work that goes into a good job and the prep etc!!

Eagerly watching this thread, there really aren't enough M Tourings about the place.

[M3John]

OP i take that you have seen THIS ?
The level of work that Gerard did and the attention to detail was amazing. I'm looking forward to seeing your finished product !

[Matt Bird]

This is why I love PH! Bookmarked, and best of luck. Can't wait to see the results.

[stoocake]

Bookmarked! What a build!

[Xpander]

In for this.

[rossi1]

Some seriously high standards of builds out there.
The work that went into the E36 M3 Touring was unreal.
The e46 lives deep underground in the "M" Garage
