As you all know I had the Porsche 996TT and I loved it but something kep on bringing me back to BMW. Soooo, over a month ago I started looking around and found (or it found me) the perfect M3! It had many modifications done to it, it was the perfect color combo, and it was ready for more. During the process of negotiations the question came up and it was about the power of the car, and its ability to stay planted...here is where the props begin and where the dream becomes the reality.

It is my pleasure to announce through the collaboration of IForged wheels and Vincent Wong that the rendering of the E30/E46 widebody has become a reality! Over the last few months over telephone and pictures did Vince and I tweak, twist, and turn the design into what you all will see soon when the car arrives here in Maryland. DTM Autobody in El Monte California has done all the work from the ground up and has done an excellent job!

I would also like to personally say to the community that I appreciate all the comments, bad or good, throughout the process!

This post is going to be backwards in a sense because I don't have pics of the finished vehicle and won't until the car arrives. This post is going to start from the inception to what I currently have. I will post several pictures over hte next 10 or so days (This is how long it takes to ship the car and it ships out Wednesday) plus a little blurb about what was going on at the time and why. Please don't ask to see finished pictures as I DO NOT have them!

Much respect

OK, so in the next few photos you are going to see how it was basically built. Two seperate panels were purchased and then placed over the existing vehicle body thus giving the builders and ourselves the view of how this would work...

 

HOLY WIDEBODY!! I'm soooo excited about this....... way to have the ***** to do this! Subscribed...

Thanks all, I hope the mods let me keep this thread here...All you guys were totally cool and full of info for me when I had the TT...I wanted to share with you all why I moved to what I did...more pics coming soon!

Thanks for looking!

thats a lot of body work! looks like its gonna be sick with the wide body fender flares.

 

Wow... looks like one hell of a project! Keep us updated!

 

what size of a tire is that out back? looks monsterous

 

That does look like its going to be an awesome job...... There is a local car in NY that is very similar to the Pheonix Yellow rendering you have up top and it is an unbelievable vehicle. I dont doubt that your expectations are going to meet the finished result.

 

Links - your probably speaking of my teammate Tony with the PY full custom WB...

they are the same as the TT - 12" by 315 with a 6" lip

Thanks for looking, I appreciate the comments. I will posting more progress pics over the next few days all the way up to delivery

 

cool...that 6" lip will look awesome with the widebody

 

Looks sweet. Can't wait to see the finished project!
