Need help. 335i with E92 M3 exhaust

Terry335i · 05-01-2015, 03:03 PM

Hi there, First time poster long time enthusiast. I have created a world of frustration and money blowing and looking for some guidance or info. I have searched and not found the Answers i am looking for.

The story is, I was rear ended a while ago and it damaged my bumper and rear exhaust that was all stock 335i. I saw what i thought was a deal on Craigslist for 300 bux, it was a e92 m3 quad exhaust system with mid pipes included. I figured this would be a trick mod and the fact that the piping was larger diameter and also that the secondary cats would be deleted sounded good to me with the hopes of added power and sound.

I soon then realized when i sourced a OEM M3 rear bumper to fit the new exhaust i have on my car that the difference in fender width is a nightmare to customize. The shops ideas were to pull the sheet metal to meet the bumper,which sounded horrible to me.

So now my hopes were to try and go back to the stock bumper and modify the single cut outs to except the M3 pipes like lots of people have done on the internet and then I found out they are way off. The result will be huge cut outs because the stock 335i pipes are further apart where the M3's are more centered on the car.

So i am looking for suggestions to my mess I've created,
I have a 08 335i with E92 M3 quad exhaust installed and am looking for suggestions to make it work with the OEM 335i bumper. :S

These are all pics of My car.

The pictures up there are of examples?

There are m3 replica rear bumpers that fit the 335i quater panels. I'm assuming you bought a oem m3 rear.

If the shop is confident they can pull the quarters to meet the oem m3 at a resonable price i would do that otherwise i would buy a m3 rear rep and call it a day.

Isnt it the m3 oem exhaust not ideal for 335i due to its been engeenrd and built for NA car?
