what size spacer are you running in those pictures? I'm trying to do it on my green hardtop e36(below). We have similar tastes and would love to have that fitment. Very clean and love the red! Thanks for sharing that! What lens for the shots? They are sharp!

IMO when one does a motor swap to an M motor its def deserving of an ///M badge, just my thoughts.
Love this car, just looks so classy, the minor details like the ///M valve stem caps add that much more. Overall just great.

Always loved your car !
Got rid of the LED tails I see ?
Thanks man.. Yea sold em. Just want a more oem feel. I think the next thing is to get some wheels.
Too low, but it's SO clean and nice. Excellent work, and a great departure from the typical stance/style 5 trend.
Your 318 is clean, really clean I love it but then I have to hate it too. Just because it's not an M3 and your trying to pass It off as one. It is what it is. In the end it's your car, still clean though. Good job
Never really a fan of convertibles but this is clean!
As a fellow e36 hellrot vert owner- you set the bar man. I'll just limbo underneath haha.
Haters shall hate. I think it would look real slick with just the ///M emblem with the 3 removed. Then its not badged as an m3 and it still references the M bits (and by bits I mean substantial bits).
I have a set of DS1s I was planning on powedercoating white and then painting the stamped words hellrot. If you are getting rid of the DS1s, try the hellrot in the letters before you sell so I can get an idea :P hahaha thanks.
Ultimately its your car, and is one of the few non-m, which I think can wear the m badge and not get shit for it.
Here is a pic of your cousin to the north:

Pm me what headlight/HID setup your running
1999 Dakar m3 Vert, 98 Alaska blue cali m318ti, avus ti sport cali (dash swap), 95 318ti white base model.
Clean car, a little too low for my taste but still. I have a bit of an issue with the M3 badge because the motor is not the only thing that makes an M3 an M3...did you swap over the subframe, brakes, etc?
looks cool save for the m3 and m badges.
What did you use for the hood foam part to match up with the heatshield? thanks
99 Hellrot M3 || Bilstein Sport Shocks and H&R springs || X-Brace || Turner Motorsports Swaybars || Mason Engineering strut braces
Conforti Carbon Fiber CAI || Shrick Intake Manifold || Jet Hot Shorty Headers || 10.6 lb Flywheel || AC Schnitzer Exhaust
SSR GT2 wheels || EBC Yellowstuff brake pads || Stainless Steel Brake Lines

wow, everything looks great man!
Thanks Man I was also thinking of white with the letters red but thought that might take it a little farther than I wanted.
Your car is clean man.
Nope not the same.. I polished these myself then had them powdered
FX-R 3.0 WITH 4500K ds2 bulbs... (Thanks to MarketMaster)
Correct I am 100% swapped.. subframe, brakes, control arms, driveshaft rear end, ect.. Everything but the Vin.

Love it, but no matter what you do it is not an M3. I know in theory it could be much better, but it is not what it is badged and that bothers me.
What radiator cover is that? It looks great but seems like it lacks the alternator cooler and routing to the factory intake?? Leave the AFE, it looks great and your bay is clean clean
Saw it at High Maintenance II. Super clean car, man!
Thanks man. I saw your car too.. Your swapped also?
Are you going to DATR Saturday?
What point are you trying to make? My car is a 95... I know they only made m3 vert's from 98-99... Ive stated that already...
Mod list - M50 manifold; TechniqueTuning Stg2, Apex Arc-8, ZKW euro, clear corners Mike R diffbrace, Koni Yell with HR race

You will go through days of joy and days of sadness as the pursuit for power leads to madness...
I don't know what the problem is here. The OP has an extremely nice BMW with transplanted main parts out of an M3. Who the hell cares. It's not like he is badging a 318 with a 4 banger as an M3. Some of you guys need to get over yourself and respect a nicely detailed and taken care of BMW.
