    Hi, I am on the hunt for an M3 ----edit M sport---- OEM bodykit (for the Saloon) and a set of 19" multispoke M3 alloys too, not all that up on this just wondering does anyone know of a dealer or breaker that could do a good price?

    Anyone have one for sale even!? ;)

    They never built an E46 M3 saloon so any M3 style body kit for it will be aftermarket or third party afaik.

    cheers really want bmw parts but sure 3rd party might have to do if there is no other option, could nt find much on ebay for it so your right i'd say.

    this is the look we need (bar the shark fin maybe!)

    On the E46 M3 almost every panel is different,i don't think there is a bodykit that would do it justice esp not on a 4door.

    Just my opinion.

    edit That car looks nothing like an M3.

    Thats not an M3 kit, just the standard M Sport kit. Can be bought OEM alright but cost a fortune.
    For a 2nd hand one, try www.fabdirect.co.uk in the UK. They're normally good for anything BM related.

    there is no M3 body kit.

    all you need is an M-Sport front bumber, rear bumper and side skirts and the rear boot lip spoiler.

    it wont look out of place at all, infact i will say it will look good aslong as its fitted correctly and painted good.

    you cant go for genuine M3 wheels as they are a staggered fitment which wont fit a standard 3 series, so you will need replicas, something like these - http://www.pro-parts.ie/products.asp?id=41 (bottom left corner of the web page.)

    PM me if you like them as i can get them in 18" with tyres, balanced and fitted to your car for about 850e (100e cheaper than the shops)

    You'll be a long time looking.

    no problem, genuine 19" M3 wheels go for over a grand second hand (even though they wont fit your car), iirc you have no choice but to buy replicas.

    best of luck in your search.
