What he said, but you can probably just get the m3 quarterpannel and put it on. |

The side gills are $52 each from bavauto.com:
Left gill -- Part # : 51 13 2 694 607
Right gill -- Part # : 51 13 2 694 608
You can also buy them in sets from jlevisw.com, although they carry "special" versions:
OEM Carbon Fiber set for around $200
Painted gills for $125 a set
Blackout side gills without M3 logos for $90 a set.
On top of that, you will have to get a body shop to cut holes in you fenders without messing them up. Another option is buying and retrofitting M3 front fenders on your car, whicih would certainly require a new bumpuer and or bodywork (I will not search the web for the fenders. If I were to guess, bavauto carries them, and so doe syour local dealership). Furthermore, you will most certainly will be made fun of for putting something so characteristically M on your car. Nevertheless, it is your car and your money. What matters is that you like it and are happy with it. |

Oh Snap, you are in Guate! I think both bavauto and jelevi ship internationally, but you will have to get in touch with them via email most likely. Bodywork is cheap (compared to the US) there anyways, so you may be willing to go to the bodyshop with it.
If you're driving an E46 coupe in Guatemala, then you may be loaded enough to just buy the M3 front fenders with gills and have it all painted and mounted on your car.
Welcome to UB.c, by the way. Care to share any pictures of your car? |

well RSF5 said m3 side grills on a non m3 will suck! i know but what i really want is the sidegrills custom made without the M3 logo, instead of it i want it the 325ci logo that would look awesome dont u think?

As long as you don't race any M3's you'll be okay. Also watch out for them ricers, we don't want them saying that they smoked an M3. |

it's a one off job, talk to local body shops about what you want done.
