[quote=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

There is another E91 M3 knocking around somewhere as I came across this photo a while ago...
Other than the BBS wheels (which I like) I would have fitted either 260M wheels or Competition/GTS factory alloys.

My aim is to achieve a similar build standard to this.
Looks great. BMW's with BBS will always look fantastic to me. I had a 1 series M-sport coupe with black BBS CH and it looked brilliant. The CH-R's in the picture really suit the car.The work that went into the E36 M3 Touring was unreal.

Any update on this project?
Nothing much at the moment I'm afraid. Hopefully things will kick off next week although work will initially focus on the removal of a number of E91 brackets (headlamps and front wing mounts) and replacement with their E90 M3 equivalent so that the M3 front wings can be fitted.
I'll post further photo's once work starts.
However I did manage to obtain some further parts during xmas period...

No real updates at the moment, but hopefully very soon.
However I thought that I would share some more photo's of the rear of the car showing what was completed last year.
At the time I was going to retain the original Monaco Blue colour scheme for the car. However when completed the colour was always something that niggled me. In certain conditions the Monaco looks great but in others it's quite a dull hue and in my eyes not really the right colour for my 'M' build.

Fantastic project, been looking into this myself the last couple of days. Apart from the rear quarter panels, will the rest of the m3 parts just bolt up? E.g running gear exhaust etc?
Watching with interest
Cheers, Rick
In terms of running gear the answer is yes (other than the rear exhaust mounts - we had to weld M3 specific brackets for the rear hangers on the M3 back box) everything bolts on.Watching with interest

Some of the front end parts can be swapped over fairly easily. The bonnet and front panel fit as expected. However we are having to swap/remove quite a few individual brackets just to get the headlamps to bolt up correctly to the body. Also the front E90 M3 wings have a different fitment at the bottom of the wing section and below the A-Pillar.
You've then got other bit's like the EDC brackets and a mount for the brake booster that's hidden behind the nearside front wing as well as other M3 specific bits such as the water bottle for the headlamp system that's different and the other detail differences such as the plastic pan in the boot, fuel tank etc..
As my touring also has a triangular re-inforcement around the rear axle (similar to an E93 convertible) we will swap this with the E93 M3 equivalent so that
we retain some rigidity. We will have to do this as the current arrangement will foul the fins on the bottom of the M3 diff.
Hope this helps!
