Fabricators have now finished. Big thanks to the great workmanship of Colin @ Quest Fabrication.

Next step will be with the panel/paint shop for shaping of the doors/petrol flap and painting.

Nice to be able to fit the Work wheels and/or OEM 18`s/19`s

Seeing this replicated really does show how foolish BMW was to NOT put it into production.

I really like Rays project - it is cool because it is different and a classy stretch of the m3 story but I reckon the m3 dynasty would be diminished by a factory wagon variant. The four door sedan is a stretch.......I would have one but the m3 is at its peak as a two door on the track.

What about the m5 though? That makes more sense as a factory touring.

Nice one!

I presume the colour will still be silver?

Modified a pair of M3 mirrors to replace the aftermarket pair on the wagon.

The M3 OEM Mirror Retrofit DIY for e46 Sedan on E46fanatics gave us a rough guide.

The end result mocked up on a donor door:

Is that where you paint it black, and then silver over the top?

Home from the paint shop with Work wheels now fitting.

Fitted the modified OEM M3 mirrors.

Gave the interior an individual look with brushed aluminium trim with leather arm rests.

Although the numbers probably didn't stack up to officialy sell the e46 M3 touring, you can't deny that it's a seriously handsome car. Well done Hellbm.
