Question Will this body kit fit?

First I'd like to know if the M3 kits with sideskirts and all will fit our cars. I'm also skeptical on how snug it will fit since it isn't built by BMW. I don't want any gaps or anything.

the rear bumper won't fit, the front and sideskirts should though. no idea how good the fit on them is though, I have the DDM Tuning front bumper and sideskirts and they fit great but it doesn't seem like they carry the sideskirts anymore

I'll look somewhere else then, because 700 bucks is a lot of money. XD! Just out of curiosity since we're talking about it. What about this one? http://www.ebay.com/itm/1992-1998-BM...ht_4201wt_1163

same problem with the rear bumper, that one does look a little bit better though, the rub strips are separate instead of just molded in

this is the bumper I have, there are a lot of people, including me, running this bumper and I can say the fit on it is excellent

The rear bumper is 318ti specific. So if it's not for the 318ti or it says it will fit any other model, it will not work on the ti. Sometimes ebay sellers and less educated vendors claim things will fit the 318ti when they don't even know what a 318ti is or they've never even seen one before.

Ohh! Thank's for the info! I've seen plenty of 318ti used bumpers on eBay! Some look to be really nice. Thank you guys!

That's good to know! I've been needing a new front bumper since mine is pretty beat up.
