hi,
i was wondering if anyone had any links/ info about a front conversion to make the e36 ti front look like the e46? Also, does anyone know how much this would cost? |  |  | | 03-09-2007, 04:34 AM | #2 | | Senior Member Join Date: Nov 2005 Location: çî†ÿ øf åNgëL§, CA Posts: 5,314 |

Itll be like buying a body kit. But youll by the E36, e46 front bumper. Just make sure its an E36 custom bumper thatll look like the E46 front bumper. There's plenty in ebay. | | | | | 03-09-2007, 04:42 AM | #3 | | Member Join Date: Jan 2007 Location: Michigan Posts: 46 |

It depends on how far you want to take the conversion. Most people just buy the E46style bumper for their E36. I have seen some people that have actually changed their headlight styles and the hood so that the complete front matches the E46 style. That would be a custom job as I've not seen a kit to change the style of the hood. | | | | | 03-13-2007, 10:01 PM | #7 | | Senior Member Join Date: Jan 2005 Location: Vancouver, B.C.

I looked into it a few years ago and it will be costly to do it properly. __________________  | | | | | 03-13-2007, 10:13 PM | #8 | | Senior Member Join Date: Jan 2007 Location: Ireland Posts: 382 |
wow why would ever want to do that....
the e36 looks so much better than a e46 and you would ruin that by sticking a e46 front end on it ??? __________________ .............................

That conversion would be sick. They have the whole kit over in germany, but it is a lot of work. They make the whole e36 body panel conversion to, but they don't make a whole conversion for the Ti. | | | | | 03-14-2007, 04:29 PM | #10 | | Senior Member Join Date: Jun 2003 Location: Saint Paul, MN Posts: 3,244 |

You have to admit that a custom job like that around here in the states would turn heads. People always say anyway that they've never seen a BMW like mine before. It would just make it more rare, not to mention it's his car anyway. DO WHAT YOU WANT!!! I wouldn't do it personally, but I like to see that stuff. | | | | | 03-15-2007, 02:06 AM | #13 | | Senior Member Join Date: Oct 2005 Location: Quad Cities, Iowa Posts: 2,110 |
