C63 - ISF - M3 in HK

Just completed a M3 Conversion on my 323i. I think the job is perfect.

The truth is ... I think the M3 is too expensive and I like the C63 more .. so I just convert my 323 to look like an M3.

Nope ... I did not put the M3 emblem on ...

Um... Why? The M3 is WAY over priced? So is the C63. In this economic climate you can get rediculous deals on either.

IMHO converting your 323 to an "M3" look alike makes you a fool. <-- Some other choice words come to mind, but I will be nice.

Next you'll take a 300 and make a c63 out of it.

Edit: What did you pay for all the body work, paint, wheels, interior, etc? The problem is, when you get spanked by a toolbox trying to race you in a honda and he blows the kit doors off your "M3" or "C63" or whatever the next kit is, it makes the rest off us look like fools.

Actually, someone's already done that over on the C Class forum.

Personally, I'm not really bothered with what other people do with their cars. I know that the car I drive isn't counterfeit, and that's all that matters to me.

Well, reasons for me of doing the conversion are;

1. The car is bought for my gf to drive around town and I don't want her to drive fast, nor would I want her to race with my C63.

2. The M3 convertible in Hong Kong is selling for HK$1.6 mil. That's around US$215,000 and that's a lot of money for a M3 I think.

3. Revozport is doing the conversion for me and I did it at a pretty good deal.

So why not ... and I know it might look a fool, that's why you see NO M3 badge whatsoever on the car.

I suggest W Hotel, they're new and they're doing a pretty good deal. ..even at walk-in price.
