Anyone know if this will fit:

Obviously there may be some work needed, but what type of work are we talkin about? Does anyone have measurements on a 3 Series rear bumper vs the G?

I feel ya on this one man, and I believe we have a common desire to swipe parts from the 3 series BMW. I think the one you have posted is the E46 (99-05), I don't know it's measurements. However, I have took some measurements of the E36 (02-98), but at the time I was just measuring it's trunk spoiler to see how close it was to the G's. (It's only about an inch off in case you were wondering.) I plan to go measure the bumper of a '99 that is for sale close to my job,so once I do that I'll post what I find. The reason I need to check the rear bumper's mesurement, is cause I want to see if this will fit the G:

(with some work of course)

Just to give you some warning about the one I'm looking at. It is only a rear diffuser made to be an add on piece to the stock M3 bumper. This is what the piece looks like without the bumper:

(they make it in silver CF too)

In order to use this you'll either have to buy a stock M3 rear bumper and modify it to fit the G and then add this piece to it. Or you'll have to modify an aftermarket or stock G bumper and find a way to attach it so that it flow seamlessly and securely. After one of those options are taken, you'll still have to have a custom made dual exhaust set up done. I currently already have a dual exhaust, but had plan on redoing anyway to have it look and flow better. And I can tell you it won't be cheap either. Don't know how much those tips are that were used in my first picture, but tips I want to use that look close to those are $50 each by themselves. One exhaust shop has already quoted me a price of $600 to get the system done, but I think I can find a place to get it done a little cheaper, since I will be using most of my exisiting piping.
