BMW E36 / E46 / F80 M3 & F82 M4 in Bombay

v12 · 4th August 2004, 18:15

Oops sorry. didnt notice that.

v12 · 14th August 2004, 15:12

Heres another BMW with an M3 kit which includes front/rear/side skirts. I guess these alloys are not part of the M-kit.

S600BENZ · 14th August 2004, 15:20

This is a 330Ci with the M-Kit. And yes the alloys are part of the M-Kit.

Rtech · 14th August 2004, 15:21

hey V12, thats not an M3 kit. The front bumper on an M3 is different to the one in our pic. This is probably an aftermarket kit. Still looks way cool though!

v12 · 14th August 2004, 15:33

oops. ya, its not an M-kit. it looked similar to the M-kit.

S600BENZ · 16th August 2004, 13:00

Guys it is an M-Kit. Please go to supercars.net and check the pics of the 2000 M3 (Red Colour). nO aftermarket company makes a kit that looks like this.

Rtech · 16th August 2004, 13:46

Hey S600,

The reason I said that I dont think it is an M3 kit is coz the front bumper soes not have the bulge in the central air dam that the M3 has (see pic below.)

Now see V12's pic...there's no bulge.

Maybe its the way the pic is taken, but it does not look the same.

hey rtech,
the skirt is similar. it is the M3 kit. I had compared this silver BMW with the M5 skirts and it looked different.

erm...not sure what you mean here V12!

Well, maybe my eyes are playing tricks on me, but I still dont see that M3 bulge on the bumper!

v12 · 16th August 2004, 20:13

What i meant to say was that I had compared the Silver 3 [my pic] with the M5. The skirts are slightly different and thats why i thought that its not a M kit.

Also the M3 [show pic] has a V-shaped center while the one in my pic has a rectangular air dam.

Rehaan · 16th August 2004, 20:27

Hey,

Well i agree with Rtech that its DEFINITELY not the SAME as a M3 front bumper.

But what S600Benz is trying to say is that it is a M-kit (not M3 kit) on a 330Ci.
(Im guessing he provided the refernce of the Red M3 to show that it is indeed a M kit and not a 3rd party tuner kit because of similar styling.)

Hey S600, the center airdam is different in both the cars.

Godspeed · 18th August 2004, 18:20

oh really i dont think it makes that much a big difference that car still looks good

amogh · 27th September 2004, 03:22

hey, i know this is an old topic but thought id chip in nevertheless i spotted this really garish n loud blue BMW M3 convertible earlier in the morning standing outside the Taj. it seemed to be a freash import or atleast in really good condition. i looked up these posts but no one mentioned seeing such a M3 so i thought i'd chip in. sorry if its a repeat. by the way would anyone know whats the difference in a BMW M3 coupe and a CSL?

_Crazi4Speed_ · 27th September 2004, 03:38

m3 is a modified version of 3 like u know and CSL is a track version of the M3 with stripped down interiors, lost weight and I think more tuned engine(i am not sure on this)
