Relocating trunk lock mechanism

Post by zz3po »

Hi
Im now converting my narrow body pre facelift z3 into widebody "M" z3
Since i dont have all the parts in my country i bought everything from US.
Only thing is i didnt buy the whole trunk, only the plate that the license plate should dit on.
The issiue is that in M version, the trunk lock mechanism is in the left, and in the regular version trunk the lock mechanism is in the right side.
Any advice?
Thanks!

The boot is different between the M and non-M (badge location, etc), so you'll need the M-boot, or you'll have to work out some custom fabrication.
