Larry's '89 Zinno E30 M3 build

[Verdigrie]

Hmmm, i'm between two minds...I'm not sure whether to make a must-not-fap joke, laud it with praise or just go for a trusty ole expletive. Either way, fucking hell your car is gorgeous!

[Minuki]

This is gorgeous

Thanks alot for the tips!

[trystanz]

This is fucking beautiful, you're attention to detail is insane.

[Miles.]

This is one of those builds I have read more than once.

[f50nut]

Wow thanks guys.

Nice build and wondering if you could help me with mine xD

Where did you source the undertray and splitter? I cant find anyone selling this maybe except VAC.

What was the solution to fix the bumper to line up with the fender, I have the same unfortunate problem?

Cheers.

I ordered the undertray and splitter from Markus Glaum in Germany.

You can reach him at:

He can also supply the rear spoiler and carbon splitter / flap.

As for the bumper, I plan to shorten the mounts a few millimeters to pull the bumper in slightly. For now, I'm masking the gap with the one piece Evo bumper gasket.

fuck this is perfect.

I am replacing the original EVO III rear flap with a carbon flap to match the front splitter. It's just slightly larger than the original, which is nice because it matches the distance the front splitter protrudes from the bumper. The other option was a DTM gurney flap, but I think they're way too big for a street car on 17's without the race spec front spoiler setup.

The carbon flap isn't drilled, so I'm using the original as a template.



You can see that the original flap has tapered holes, so the bolts sit countersunk and flush with the flap surface. This isn't possible with the carbon flap since it's actually hollow on the inside.



That's a factory EVO III bolt on the left. The middle bolt is what came with the carbon flap but it's too short.



Notice the OEM bolt is shorter than the bolt at the far right, that's because the factory flap is contersunk. These carbon flaps use a large machined washer so I needed to purchase some longer hardware.





Sorry for the bad photos. This was late at night. The hardware store only had 6 stainless bolts in the longer size I needed, so I had to buy 2 black bolts which I eventually replaced.





Here it is mounted on the car.



Another view of the front for comparison.



Fixed the hood gap



And up the next morning ready to leave for Bimmerfest.

like other people said, your attention to detail is outstanding, just the fact you notice that hood alignment, or all those missing parts is remarkable lol.
im looking forward to see where else this build goes

Thank you. It's the little things
