Fitting M3 Sideskirts to E36 saloon

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Hi all!

I have noticed that the M3 sideskirt kits for the e36 look like they are just two pieces, the left and right. On the 4dr the standard skirts are a total of 4 pieces, one small piece just before the front wheels.

Does anyone know how the original skirts come off, i think mine are metal as it is a 93 model, and do the replacements skirts just fit into place? How much work is involved?

I know there is about �100 difference on the replica skirts and originals, but does it really make a difference?

Thanks to anyone with input!

Cheers

	The M3 skirts fit over the original metal sills. You will need to drill a series of holes along to top edge of the sill to fix on the skirt properly. Although i know someone who has just fixed them at the ends and bottom with out the need to drill the metal side sills. Normally in life you get what you pay for... go for the originals, you get a nice rubber seal onto the car body with the original skirts to! On both the 2 and 4 door cars the skirts are one piece each side, they are different in length by approx 1/2" though. best of luck
