Somebody use your driver's side rocker panel for target practice? Passenger side looks normal.

![]() Photos were taken at different times. The Rocker guards were actually beginning to be prepped for color by the time we finished the rear in the last photo, so left them off during the transport photo in the last shot. Sneak peek of the next photos... ![]() ![]() |

She's a beaut @op I love the color with the bronze arc-8's. How'd you paint the valve covers on the motor? I'm about to do that myself and am debating have them professionally done or just goonsquadding it.

Thanks Mate! I bought the s65 with Valve covers already powder coated - quality is ok. I'm planning to redo it, honestly. The covers are a magnesium alloy IIRC, and it looks like the material underneath the powder coating is starting to lift. I'll update with how we solve that with more details once we begin the reassembly. Currently have the engine torn down to rebuild it while we have it out...#Rodbearings

Beautiful car. All it needs is LCI tails and some new seats

![]() ![]() As for seats - I haven't decided how I want to proceed on the interior yet, so it's been moved down on the priority list. Love the factory seats (have an E90 M3 and a E92 M3 as well), but really like some of the aftermarket setups as well. It may depend on whether I decide to change the interior color. If anyone is track prepping their E90 M3, message me... Would likely be interested in the interior bits.... |

can't help thinking that the people at BMW M totally lack ball's not to make the M3 E91 or M3 F81...
Hope they will do the G81 at least... |

For the donor body panels and hood (aside from the universal front bumper) did you grab E90M3 parts? I'm on the middle of conversion planning with my E91. Your build has me inspired!

The rear bumper will need to be created unless you can source one from someone who has made one already. We build mine from the OEM wagon panel and the OEM e90 M3 panel. |

Another question - when you had the axle-back exhaust section fitted, did you have chassis hangars welded on after? How did you add on the factory location mounts? Now, looking for more resources to do a full; mechanical driveline swap too. Thanks again! Last edited by crimpwimp; 05-17-2019 at 01:02 PM.. Reason: add'l information |

Random question Leddy.
Did you happen to have the purple car done in Springfield VA? I ask, because I have my car in the shop now and they had pictures of that car (or one that looks exactly like it, lol). Small world, or maybe just another fan with the same idea. Either way, love it. |

If I was to do it again, I'd wait until I installed the M3 rear subframe before tackling the exhaust. |
