Follow this link to seee V35 sedan like no other. (ignore the women in pushup bras at the start, the stagea boys got a bit carried away hahah)scroll down its about 3/4 down the page.

I know beauty is in the eye of the beholder.. but personally, I think that is ugly.. (the car, not the girls..)

Don't want to detract from your dedication though.. i am sure there are many hours worth of work there!

And the standard sedan coupe nose is better how? Atleast i dont have to worry about my headlights going to absolute crap with discolouration of the lenses. But its your opinion your entitles to it.

The only reason i did it was because i had damage on all the front panels besides the bonnet and i didnt want the ugly front so i went withing the nissan FM platorm family to its closest relo the M35 stagea for a new nose

I would have done a coupe nose but i would have needed custom fenders but it just would have looked the same as the factory nose. I respect your opinion i was just pulling ya leg. Opinions are like a@#holes; everyones got one.

Nice work dude.

IMO it works, considering the rear of the sedans aren't quite like the coupes (a bit boxier?), fairly certain it will look better in person too

Just probably won't work with the coupes.

Who knows, you might actually start a new trend?

No different from people with Onevia's / Sileightys etc.

Or even the R34 front conversions for the Stags.

:thumbsup:

I think I like it... need moar pics pls! Looks like the lights were a bitch to align, or is that a test fit?

I actually like the sedan lines and haven't seen this particular front swap done before, so nice one.

I like it because it's unique, well done. I do personally think those stagea's are ugly though.

May be ugly but the rozzers ignore us. Anyone feeling irresponsible can peel off a 12-13 sec qtr in front of them & they'll turn around & book one of you P platers for dark tint, lol. Plus we can fit half of your car in the back.

Don't worry, not many of us like v35s... :P

^^^ haha

Mark, I think you've done a fine job on the Stagline. It's unique & you did it your way :thumbsup:.

All that's left is to convert the back two thirds....

    • Out here E90s are the cheapest way into a sporty-ish car because everyone knows just how expensive the repairs can get. 8-10k USD for an automatic 335i. 
    • Noted. Have noticed BMW are more 'high maintenance' for sure. They've attracted my attention as I think the used car prices seem reasonable vs other options, and the extra quality overall vs a commodore / camry / corolla or similar of the same vintage is appealing, especially the interior, and they are more on the sporty side whereas the others mentioned can be more cruising or economical A-to-B only.
    • Haha yeah I know, this is SAU after all, why are we talking about BMW's of all things!? I hear you on the 'don't have to worry about it' side of things. Having been fortunate enough to be have been able to buy a brand new motorbike or two...never really enjoyed them as much as I'd have liked as you worry so much about where you park it, will it get scratched, stolen, attempted theft, knocked over, etc...and yes dirty. Older less valuable bikes you can just go where you want and park it wherever and not really worry that much in comparison. And who cares if it gets dirty! Never owned a V8, and have had my eyes on VE / VF commodores for years but with their prices climbing so high, the M3 has come into focus more as prices are much closer than I've ever seen...is it a potential contender now?...of course need to factor in the S65 'maintenance' especially and like you said general M car 'tax'. One can dream anyway. But more on the reality front - did read the whole 330i thread as well and was a great read too, both threads enlightening as I've never even driven one of these cars! I do recall 330i didn't seem to have the same amount of issues for almost the same car (turbos and related differences notwithstanding)...perhaps down to getting it earlier in it's life so looked after better than the 335i? Perhaps so as your 130i has been good and quite similar, so finding a car that's been looked after well is the especially-crucial-BMW-first-step.
    • Nice. Dont worry about the time of not running. My current skyline hasn't run since I bought it. About 8 years ago.
    • It's also worth noting that I am heavily and unconditionally biased. I've had a lot of cars including some GTRs a fair while ago. I love my BMW's now a lot. They make no sense a lot of the time and the guys on here remind me regularly that I could get something else that does what I want better and cheaper. If you're going to take on an older BMW it's definitely a commitment. If you bail on it early you'll lose money and also the ability for it to put a smile on your face. Stick with it and it just gets better.  f**k I should get into advertising.
