Thanks! That's a really great insight that I'll add to my task list for the conversion!

Hey guys, I used to have an E91 328xi, but some loser in a pick up truck decided to drive right through the front end a few years ago and at the time I decided to upgrade to an E90 M3.

I have always dreamed of an M3 wagon and I'm thinking of buying a salvage E91 at some point to do a build. is it possible to convert an E90 M3 into an E91 or should I be starting with an E91 chassis? I'm not sure how feasible it will be to have to buy an E91 and another M3.

Any advice from someone who's done a build or 2 would be great. If you own or work at a restomod or body shop, I'd love some suggestions.

While technically anything is possible with enough welding wire, I'd recommend starting with an E91 for this build, as the structural (ne: safety) components will not be compromised in any way. Feel free to reach out if you have questions about what's needed - it's extensive, but manageable

Post Been awhile...

Finally took some time to organize the build photos into a Youtube video.

Check it out here: https://youtu.be/R6gKDva3kkc

Engine swap was put on hold while I finished an E92 M3 Racecar build, but expecting to return to the full drivetrain swap soon.

Enjoy!

Friend is thinking about doing this, could you give an approximate cost for the bodywork ? I've got a good idea of the mechanical stuff.
