Hood/Front Bumper/Rear Bumper/Fuel Filler Flap

Hood/Front Bumper/Rear Bumper/Fuel Filler Flap

Hood
The hood of the M3 is made of aluminum. The "power dome" is an elevated section in the center of the hood which accents the sports-oriented character of the vehicle. The hood consists of the outer skin panel, an inner panel and the front inner panel. A reinforcement plate is integrated at the rear left and right for mounting the hinges.

The gas struts for opening and closing the hood have been modified to the weight of the M3 hood. The hood latch is the same as that of the E46/2 production vehicle.

Front Bumper

The front bumper cladding is aerodynamically designed.
The air inlets for brake cooling next to the fog lights are closed off. The air inlet next to the left fog light is used for engine air intake.

Rear Bumper




The cladding for the rear bumper is also modified with painted PDC sensors. The PDC setting has been modified due to the changed positions of the PDC sensors in the rear bumper.


Fuel Filler Flap
The fuel filler flap is new and has been modified to the shape of the rear quarter panel.
