Sunset Orange G20: Chop into New G80 M3 - Unique Conversion Journal Starts Here :)

Hey Folks,

After a few years in dark side ( Audi ), now I'm back to safe zone to BMW

Currently bought a brand new G20 320i which costs around 112K $ (coz of taxes in Turkey). And I'm gonna chop it into a brand new G80 M3 ( which brand new one'll cost like 360K $ ) as exterior & interior + some engine mods up to 450ish HPs.




MODS to BE DONE:
* Live Pro Digital Cluster
* New MGU Large Screen
* M Performance Body Kit
* Armaspeed Cold Air Intake
* 340i Body
* Laser Light Upgrade
* Coilovers
* 255-30-20 & 275-30-20 Pzero
* Temporary (will be winter setup) 20 Rims
* Remapping
* BMW 850i 395mm Brakes
* Hybrid Turbo
* 20x12 Rims w/315 Tyres (F80 project setup was similar w/305s)
* G80 Body - All fenders, skirts, bumpers & even doors if it needs
* A Worldwide Brand Exhaust Mod
* Carbon Mirror Caps
* Carbon Diffuser
* Caarbon Diamond Grille
* G80 Steering Wheel
* G80 Centre Console - Gear Stick Parts
* G80 Seats or A Surprise Custom Ones
* Bunch of New Wraps
* Any more suggestions, I'm very Welcoming Them

Also I'll be dealing with Live Pro upgrades, and I'll inform you as much as possible and answer your questions about the G80 onversion and also about the G20 mods


Some of you may remember, I do conversion projects; u may find one pics from each below. Done the f30 to F80 fully conversion, first time in the world as interior & exterior. Than done the B9 A4 to RS4 which is still unique in the world These were my rookie projects, its time for the masterpiece w/G80 Conversion

I have been on the Cover Page of Bimmerpost with the F80 Conversion, why not again

Cheers

Lasers are so cool as appearance first of all
It depends onyour country indeed, wegive our adaptive leds + 2-2.5K cash on it.

Plug & Code & works. a few hours job at most.

I have a video about difference between the adaptive leds and adaptive lasers here on youtube, my channel:

May I ask why you actually do this? Wouldn't it be cheaper in the long run to buy an M3 instead of converting a regular 3?

Not trying to be rude, but genuinely curious.

Yap, since I lived in LA for a long time, I' m very used to have this question; you will pay only 8-10K $ to upgrade BUT we pay like 4 or 5 times more than a non M car.

%400 - 500 taxes applies here in Turkey.

You pay 35K of your curreny but I pay 1.6M of my currency

so the math is obvious unfortunately.

And u r VERY polite, I have the flame suit on already, thanks a lot

Your project will likely draw even more attention this time due to the grill controversy. Whether you take the plunge and swap to the huge OEM grill or you install an aftermarket bumper - or better yet, create you own - that brings the G20 grill together with the G22 headlights and the rest of the G8x aesthetic, it’ll be sure to get people talking.

I usually did not touch the engine during my projects, but this one has a lot potential. Aim is M340i, so there wont be a fake badge flames

Now its around 280/400 nm & it will be like 300+ HP / 400+ NM after I installed the new exhaust system + calibrated the armaspeed air intake by remapping.

Than hybrid turbo will march one, we will see

A motivation Pic for the new incomers

Bmw g20 laser light upgrade

Yep, actually we took a long way on G20 Chasis

First I put the Laser Lights as an addition; they are a direct replacement, P&P w/some coding job.

If you do not already have the SZL steering wheel hub, the long beam assistance wont work. If u have it, there will be another coding and all works

MODS to BE DONE:
* Live Pro Digital Cluster
* New MGU Large Screen
* M Performance Body Kit
* Armaspeed Cold Air Intake
* 340i Body
* Laser Light Upgrade - DONE
* Coilovers
* 255-30-20 & 275-30-20 Pzero
* Temporary (will be winter setup) 20 Rims - DONE
* Remapping
* BMW 850i 395mm Brakes
* Hybrid Turbo
* 20x12 Rims w/315 Tyres (F80 project setup was similar w/305s)
* G80 Body - All fenders, skirts, bumpers & even doors if it needs
* A Worldwide Brand Exhaust Mod
* Carbon Mirror Caps
* Carbon Diffuser
* Caarbon Diamond Grille
* G80 Steering Wheel
* G80 Centre Console - Gear Stick Parts
* G80 Seats or A Surprise Custom Ones
* Bunch of New Wraps
* Any more suggestions, I'm very Welcoming Them


Here is the link of replacement from Led to Laser light:


Opinions After Its Done:
Actually you wont notice a HUGE difference while a city driving under road lihgts BUT when u cruise on a very dark road / intercity roads it will make ur night into day for sure. Still could not proceed for the steering wheel Hub upgrade, so can not comment on Light assistance but I'm pretty sure it will be great as far as I checked on youtube

M340i OEM BODY KIT UPGRADE

At the same time with the Laser Light Mod, we done the body kit job done as well.

Its also an easy job except the exhaust part. If you have a standart M Sport 320i - 330i, you will neew to cut the trim behind the current diffuser in order to place the new m340i exhaust tips placement.

I went for a non-oem job and I prefer my new tips welded into the current round tips instead of putting them hanging in the air, into the middle of the new 340i tips.



Here is the Video of the job:



MODS to BE DONE:
* Live Pro Digital Cluster
* New MGU Large Screen
* M Performance Body Kit - DONE
* Armaspeed Cold Air Intake
* 340i Body - DONE
* Laser Light Upgrade - DONE
* Coilovers
* 255-30-20 & 275-30-20 Pzero - DONE

* Hybrid Turbo
* 20x12 Rims w/315 Tyres (F80 project setup was similar w/305s)
* G80 Body - All fenders, skirts, bumpers & even doors if it needs
* A Worldwide Brand Exhaust Mod
* Carbon Mirror Caps

Arma speed - g20 cold air intake (320İ - 330İ)

Since I have a bit power on Instagram and Youtube, Arma Speed & Adaptive Automotive from Netherlands got my back and sponsored me with that 1.300 Euro costing cold air intake kit. While doing it, we remapped the car and the original HP was 170 (250NM) and they totally upgraded into 283 HP (350NM) with the stock & oem hardware only by remapping.

My Review:
I must admit, the SOUND is AMAAAAZİNG and the view of the carbon engine parts are literally beautiful
Especially with the sudden high revs and acceleration, it really gots u! About the HP addition, its like +7-8 HP but not really can feel it, needs to be re-calibrated on the video day and it was not done in the video.



Here is the link of the installation:

BMW 850i BRAKES on a G20 MOD

As far as I searched, the 750i / 850i brakes are fitting just like p&p to our cars. These days actually I'm searching about if the M8 brakes will fit.. If you have the answer, let me know please

The brakes r 395mm and 4 pots. They did not fit into the 19 rims indeed, it did not fit 18's for sure but maybe the design of the 19s which I tried did not let i fit in.

My rims r 20, without the dust shields, its almost fitting the whole gap indeed
