Bodge Posted December 29, 2011 Report Share Posted December 29, 2011 Ive searched but can't find any for sale. i can find the rear splitter and i think it looks ace. Are they all custom jobs using M3 back boxes? Can you still use the tow bar with them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Individual 330ci Posted December 29, 2011 Report Share Posted December 29, 2011 It will have to be a full custom jobby from the likes of powerflow/ longlife! I dont see why you cant still use the towbar as they will just route the pipes either side of the sparewheel well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frobius Posted December 29, 2011 Report Share Posted December 29, 2011 I'm sure I've read somewhere that to fit an M3 back box you need to cut into the car quite a bit and mod your fuel tank or floor pan in some way. That's one of the things a lot of folk forget, an M might look like its non M counterpart but it's almost completely a different car. It'd be interesting to compare say the number of common parts between say a 330Ci Clubsport and an M3 of the same year and the 330 and a 316i! I tell you what, I'd not be surprised if there were SIGNIFICANTLY more common parts between the two non-M cars! But I digress... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ian332isport Posted December 29, 2011 Report Share Posted December 29, 2011 I think the spare wheel well has to go completely for a proper M3 back box. You can probably get quad pipes fitted, but they would be further apart than on an M3 and would look fake to anyone that matters (E46zone users). Ian.

Bodge Posted December 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2011 balls. everythink i want todo with my car seems to be a nightmare this is the rear exhaust surround i was looking at from here http://www.insideperformance.de/onlineshop/product_info.php/language/en/products_id/112 (black touring near the bottem) I don't mind a custom backbox but don't want really wide spacing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
autosri Posted December 30, 2011 Report Share Posted December 30, 2011 why would you want it to look like an m3 backbox out of interest why not do it similar to the e9x modles twin round one either side of the car Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bodge Posted December 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2011 (edited) why would you want it to look like an m3 backbox out of interest why not do it similar to the e9x modles twin round one either side of the car i guess that would look alright. I just don't want it to look halfords. Just very oem +. ive seen the quad exhausts spaced really wide to the edges of the bumper and it looked really wrong, the M3 ones look very standard but imo much better Edited December 30, 2011 by Bodge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
