CF M3 HOOD

F87LUV · 10-01-2008, 08:06 AM

Anyone have one? Im about to order one but Im a little concerned with fitment issues. I really dont want to deal with complications opposed to an OEM part.

Can you be more specific? Is this for an E90 or E92? I have a M3 carbon fiber hood for both that fits just fine. Let me know if you need some help.

Its for an E92. Its for my dads bday and I dont want to fck up his car if something doesnt work out or look right.

ive seen it on the e92 and there is a small gap but its not that noticeable. its around where the latch is to close the hood.. between the grilles and the hood

anything that isnt oem .. will not always fit perfectly.

I would only consider the vorsteiner product. It does have to be adjusted here and there to make it fit correctly. But the overall fitment is great for an aftermarket product. You just need an installer with a good eye.

The other brands...I have seen alot of fitment issues. Meaning...no matter how much you adjust, it will not look good. Plus, you end up having to do sanding, cutting, redrilling, etc. And still...have seen them look kinda fucked up.

I agree, I think Vorsteiner is going to be worth the wait. Given their reputation and experience with previous hoods, I have no doubt their product will be among the best in terms of fit, finish and strength. We have their V-35 hood on our E92 and install was a breeze, it was literally a perfect fit.

Small gap.

T7R_Sky · 10-03-2008, 02:48 PM

What about the hoods for the E90? Is it just me or in nearly every picture i see of them, they dont actually have the top part of the grill installed... Does it not fit right?

ModBargains.com · 10-03-2008, 03:44 PM

I'm not completely sure. I would tell you if i had the E90, but I honestly dont' know--hopefully someone chimes in

SteanLV · 10-03-2008, 05:04 PM

heres mines.. Its small gap in the middle between hood and the plastic crap on the front bumper lol..It probably would have been a more perfect fitment if I got a professional to install it, but I just did it myself to save money and i thought it was pretty close lol..

Most people that put on a CF hood also change the grille. They do not want a chrome one. So, most put matte black vs CF. They are installed, but you can't really see the top part again CF in pics.

I think it would be kinda weird for someone to spend the $$ for a CF hood...but go with the chrome look on it. Black/CF goes much better.

Unless your Dad has other mods, its' going to look out of place

Yeah dude, I know what you mean. I personally have a matte black grill on my car right now. But just looking at the picture above your comment, I think it looks like it's missing the top part of the grill.

I might just be crazy though, lol.
