                      M3 bodywork (not including final paint) 4-6 weeks. The rear bumper was pre-modified (see pic) before the car even arrived. Engine swap (swap, wiring, coding etc) will be ~ 4 to 5 weeks AFTER bodywork. The most time consuming last part will be the final full-body paint / re-spray.

                        I was wondering if they were going to use an non-M muffler but that’s righteous they’re modifying the M3 bumper to wagon so as to use the M3 muffler and rear center exits and bumper skin. Obviously this means they’ll be modifying your wagon spare tire well body to M3 version. Which is overall more work but a great detail for a real conversion. 👍🏻

                          Yup, the spare tire well will be modified (removed) to have the M3 pan installed so the stock M3 muffler can be installed

                              Whichever you like the most.
                              Otherwise if a coin toss I’d consider how the iconic ///M CSL came in only two colors and one of those is a black..Sapphire Black. Then again your touring isn’t a CSL conversion but an M3 conversion.
