That doesn't make any sense. It's mods like these that I wonder to myself, did the owner ever take a step back and ask himself if it was honestly a good idea? On top of that, what's the with the hubcaps and M3 badge? lol

Why not just get a two door? It's the same thing, except now he has smaller front doors and a bar in the back window

It's a pity, I believe the car would have looked great with that color and no other mods.

It just looks retarded, in any color. Good luck with that sale...someone should go look at it, kick the area where the rear door should open and see if they really did the metal work or if it's just filled with bondo from wal-mart, hahahahaha.

I wouldn't want it BUT the body work is well done! NICE modification and I think that's the point! It's not like he took a RARE SPECIAL CAR & ruined it. It's a e36 ... nothing special .... get over it! Sure he could do what EVERYBODY else does with these cars but he chose something a little different & did a good job .... STOP HATING!! Outside of the box thinking .... I like it ... we all can't do the same thing ... imagine how BORING the world would be if we did!

That thing would be a total failure even if it didn't have the rear doors sealed.

Do you have a link to the for sale ad?

I have an eclectic friend / engineer / welder / tinkerer that thought he'd make an old Volvo brick 4-door into a 2-door.

He switched hobbies mid-stream and dropped a turbo Corvair engine into his old VW microbus, so:

He has the (likely) ONLY 3-door Volvo sedan on the planet.

He should have just welded the two doors together to make one super-long door...

Much classier than lambo but suicide is in between. But +1 for keep the damn doors stock. :redspot

This is the original ad http://bmw.anunturi-auto.4tuning.ro/anunturi-auto/masini-second/bmw-320-2000-vanos-9773927.html , it's from a Romanian sale web site (East Europe) .

Just hate for the sake of hating ....lmao! Now everybody is looking for bondo cracks?! You may not like the MOD but it is well done! He should have done suicide doors & put in a HONDA engine to REALLY piss off the BMW snobs! LMAO!!!

It's not "hate for the sake of hating". Everyone has an opinion, and most are going to voice it. This mod, even though it may be well done in terms of bodywork, is completely useless. It removed function, visual appeal and resale value from the car. It doesn't matter that e36 are "cheap" and "common". Why ruin a good car with silly mods like this? You don't have to be a BMW snob or purist to hate this car. Who's looking for bondo cracks anyway?

And, yeah, what the hell is a 4 door mafia?

4 door mafia is a club that was created a while ago. I dug up an old forum that started it i think it was a picture thread. I think it may have died with the group who started it as they may have gotten different cars

Why do it? Because you can! it's a car! That's the fun of modding. I modded my car & I KNOW I will NEVER get back the $$ put in ..... SO WHAT! I mod because it's FUN, If it was about resale 1. I would not buy a e36!! 2. whatever I get I would not touch (mod) it! I love cars, love working on cars & if I had the time, space, tools I would do the same in terms of trying different things on different cars. VARIETY ..... guess you don't get that in your life.

In order to have variety in one's life, one needs to love the sedan rear door delete mod? If that's the case, I'll keep my "lack of variety in life", and my good taste.

Who's saying love it?! If you read my first post I said "I wouldn't want it BUT" I respect the work done is all, now if the seams were out of place & it looked choppy ... I would say what a waste! But in this case .. mod well done! But in your world any WELL executed mod MUST have purpose that fits YOUR satisfaction? Doesn't fit your closed minded idea of what you should or can do to a car?! Like I said ...... HATER! I just realized your from Canada ... Why am I even bothering!

ANDERSONCELL

01-27-2011, 08:51 PM

It is different that's for sure...

It would make a harder resale

The bodywork does look professional...

But to me what sticks out the most is the lack of any body molding...it throws the look off more to me than the shaved rear doors...

Good job on the the bodywork for the mod though!

I just respect people who have skills and put them to work in creative ways. Without these people things are very boring. And who knows ... maybe the creator planned on putting this in some kind of car show, I don't think he would win any awards but nice work. Most people are followers anyway so I wouldn't expect these people to understand.

He should have flared the fenders, shaved all the molding, shaved the front door handles, black paint & dropped it. Just an idea.
