I'm making a design for a BMW M3 Bodykit (1999-recent). Before I twist your any direction, I want to hear your opinions/ideas for modifying a BMW M3. Rice/no-rice. Original-lines/replace-lines. Basically whatever you want.

how about a body kit to make other 3's look like the M3?
M3's already look badass from the factory. |

Make it look OEM-ish, but slightly more aggressive. Like if BMW made a M3 Sport model (not to be confused with the CSL)

Thanks for the replies. I'm trying to keep it clean as possible. It seems people don't really want the M3 to be modified too much, at least in terms of direct style.
Here's a start.

I’ve got a question for you BMW owners that would consider purchasing this kit if/when it is produced. Input from other people is good of course, but if you own a BMW, please indicate that in your response.
Replacement Parts vs. Add-on-top Parts In context to the bodykit I am producing, would you rather have a piece to add on-top of a preexisting part or a piece to replace the preexisting part. The body-kit itself would be available in carbon fiber. A potential client stated that BMW owners would rather have add-on-top parts than replacement parts which seemed strange to me. He also described the installation process of add-on-top parts as you glue/screw the new piece to the preexisting one. He said people would rather have add-on-top because that means they keep the kit with them. To me, this seems strange. Replacement Installation: Remove default piece, add new piece. The default paneling: The default piece remains in perfect condition, and can be stored. Style: Would allow for more flexibility, and would probably appear cleaner overall. Weight Would reduce the weight of the car (being carbon fiber) Add-on top Installation: Simply screw/glue the new piece on top. The default paneling: The preexisting piece remains on the car. It may receive damage though in the installation process. Style: Would be forced to remain within certain constraints. Weight Would add weight to the car. In consideration that I would ‘remain true to the default lines and style of the BMW’ (similar to what I have been doing), it seems to me that a replacement part is a much more attractive option unless you are really lazy in which case you wouldn’t MOD your car anyway. Edit....... I just motivated myself to update the sideskirt. http://www.gryphonauto.com/Vehicles/BMW%20...20MOD/Index.htm   Any opinions? |

Hey Phantom, it's me CarZOne, show them some of your designs....
There are actually people in supercars.net that actually think this guys sucks  (one of the reasons I left - full of idiots there).... I think he is amazing. He designs super cars and they are beautiful... and generally I think supercars are ugly, so thats a good thing! Be aware: This guy is good. -------------------- I am a quitter

Carzone/Redline:
Hwy, what’s up? I remember you  The 1/100,000 people who didn’t jump on the MOB wagon.Well, that’s why I’m not showing them my stuff anymore. I get flamed to death every time I show something there. They like to worship ‘ferrariking’, and probably feel threatened because of the obvious contrast between what he does and what I do. All I ever really wanted was for people to enjoy my work, nothing more. I guess it’s their problem now, not mine. Anyway, I do have a lot of other work available on my website: www.GryphonAuto.com and my most recent project (not complete yet) is this one… http://www.gryphonauto.com/Extra/EnigmaII-026.jpg http://www.gryphonauto.com/Extra/EnigmaII-027.jpg FaLLoN Thanks dude:) I keep getting a lot of interest in the E36 from many places. I am now thinking I should probably do both. Wouldn’t be that hard for me to do. I’ll finish it up for the E46, then match do it for the E36 also. I’m going to redo the front bumper, rear bumpers, and sideskirt as a replacement parts. It should look a ton better, plus look like it really belongs on the car. I’ll wait for some more feedback from here and other places before I make any decisions on the current side skirt styling. |

The little diverter in the center piece is unique...something more like a 911 GT2 than the standard, ever day three-hole bumper. I like the latest iteration.

Just curious as to what program you're modelling that in? It looks very familiar.
