M3 side skirts on non-m models?

BMSe92 · 04-10-2009, 05:46 PM

Does anyone know for sure if the OEM e92 M3 side skirts fit on a non-M coupe with out any modification?

If so... best place to purchase a set? (ie. sponsers?)

Thanks!

They need to be modified, i'd suggest you go with M-tech sides FTW!!

OEM M3 side skirts would need to be modified. There are, however, replicas out there that are already adjusted for the correct fitment.

how much modificatioin is needed? Hopefully someone that did it can explain a bit...looking at the gb thread for the aftermarket ones and all i see are problems and backorder...dont think i can wait that long.

If you have a black car, you can get away with M3 skirts not fitting right, but if your car is light, the problems will show.

Problems:

1: Holes on bottom dont line up exact

2: Skirt is too long in the rear by about.5cm

3: Skirt flares out in the rear and wont sit flush against the body of the car

4: Front it slightly off as well, a little too long I believe

M-tech FTW

M-tech sides look better IMO to begin with, so get the M-Tech

Why is that since the M3 is based of the 3 series coupe?

Same shell should mean same parts.
