FuturisticConcept Art BMW E36 with a V8 on a bottom dollar budget

[P_Roloff]

I say go for it, that'd be pretty cool. It already has a truck motor and a roof rack, is basically a truck already, right? And with the welded rear end, it'll be a hoot in the snow!

@GunMetalGrey , @HipMF, and I got together this weekend and I had a friend of mine at Noggle Photography shoot some pictures of our cars. Need less to say it was a blast and we hit a couple local spots in Madison. I have just a taste of images to share, but we visited an airport, cement factory, abandon house, and some unpaved roads. @GunMetalGrey Was able to concur a massive water feature , and I found a complete E36 M3 bumper in the middle of the woods.

http://noggsphotography.com/ did exceptional work, I cant wait to see the rest of the images.

You found a bumper in the woods? lol

The fact that it was an E36 M3 bumper too...

[Rekpoint]

No way..... Are you fucking with us or did you actually find that?

OEM?

I have a plate holder trim if you feel the need of buying one.

I can confirm that it was just laying in the field that we drove in to take pictures... Super odd

Here I was.... 6 months ago. "I want an M3 Bumper I wish I could find one for free. "

Damn you  Lucky Find..

Great find!

Strange things can happen in parts finds. The hard top in my old 93 Miata was being used as a sled by some kids when the PO found it. He was driving by, did a double take, stopped and picked it up.  A bit of fiberglass to repair some small cracks on the edges, new paint to match his Miata and good to go. I bought it from him and a few years ago sold it with the car.

Funny thing is its in better shape than the bumper on my car.

Yeah it was the most super completely random thing. Andy jokingly was like, hey there's an extra bumper for your car (as he points to a white object in the middle of some tall grass and mud. I look over and see a bumper face down in the dirt. I could see the black molding on the side and replied with "Actually, that is a BMW bumper of some sort, I can tell by the trim." So I walked over and picked it up.  Well no shit, its actually a perfect fit for my car.

This blows my mind, of all things to find in a field haha

I managed to find an Rx3 too when I went to pee behind a building, but it was completely rotted out.

[GunMetalGrey]

Pic of said RX3

I love RX3's, awesome find! Sad to see it rotting away like that, looks like it's too far gone to save.
