Converting a 316i to a m3 replica

[admin]

Creating a replica of a e30 DTM racer what do I need?

So I have found out I need the following.

E30 M3 body panels,

• Rear quarters
• rear panel (if post 87 base vehicle)
• Front panel below the windscreen (is the roof and a pillars different also?)
• Front wings
• Rear bumper
• Front bumper
• Side skirts (very hard to get genuine but many fiberglass copies around)
• Rear boot lid
• C pilar (impossible to get genuine, but e30garage in Norway make reproductions in metal)
• Glass for front and rear screen as different to standard e30

Drive train

• Swap to 5 lug axels
  • Use e30 M3 ones?
  • Use e36 hubs and rear setup from a e36 compact
  • Use z3m setup front and rear
  • Use e36 M3 front Evo hubs and e36 compact/z3 rear axle

Convert to DTM

• Front suspension connections
• Rear trailing arms
• Relocate fuel tank to boot (where spare wheel is)
• Roll cage

Homologacion for the street

• Issues with roll cage, some countries dont allow them on the street.
• Fuel tank in boot, would need to open boot to refil
• Hard suspension, not lots of travel
• interior stripped due to roll cage

Questions

• Can the roll cage be built like the RUF Porsches. (integrated to body shell)
• Some of the panels maybe need to be fiber glass

At present the front wings from the eco 3 sports are available in BMW dealers to order, also some of the inner rear arches are also available.

Thanks do you have any part numbers?

Sure front wings

• 41352233019
• 41352233020

Then 41001943993 for the rear quarter, and 41141945714 for the inner arch for the opposite side.

Bootlid 51171965010 also supposedly is available but I have not checked that part with BMW recently.

Rear panel is 41341959874, but currently out of stock, and no estimated delivery date.
