The Description Difference between Model Years and Production Years

Due to our use of open network databases, like Wikipedia and Autohome , for some of our vehicle data, there might be minor variations in the descriptions found in our SKU designs. "Production Years" are the years when a specific model is first introduced to the public market . On the other hand, "Model Years" refer to the different versions of a model that were available to consumers in different years . These differences in model years often come with changes to the exterior or interior design of the vehicle. When searching for car information on websites or through dealers, typically you are searching based on 'Model Years'. For instance, the third generation of the Honda Accord was introduced on June 4th, 1985, and ceased production in 1989. ‘1985-1989’ represents the ‘Production Years’ of the Accord, while the ‘Model Years’ in automobile databases are listed as ‘1986-1989’. Due to the different sources of information, there may be differences in the way they are presented. As our products cover car parts and accessories, we have incorporated both "Production Years" and "Model Years" terminology. Please note this.

Application: BMW M3 (1992-Present, 5 Generations)

This wind deflector set fits the BMW M3 across five generations of production, from the E36 (1992-1999) through the current G80 (2020-Present). Each generation features unique door frame dimensions and body panel designs, meaning door visors are generation-specific and not interchangeable across generations.

5-Generation Timeline

Gen	Chassis	Years	Body Styles	Engine	Platform Base
2nd	E36	1992-1999	Coupe, Convertible, Sedan (from 1994)	S50/S52 I6	E36 3-Series
3rd	E46	2000-2006	Coupe, Convertible	S54 I6	E46 3-Series
4th	E90/E92/E93	2007-2013	Sedan (E90), Coupe (E92), Convertible (E93)	S65 V8	E90 3-Series
5th	F80	2014-2018	Sedan only	S55 Twin-Turbo I6	F30 3-Series
6th	G80	2020-Present	Sedan, Touring (G81 from 2022)	S58 Twin-Turbo I6	G20 3-Series

M3/M4 Nameplate Split (Critical)

Starting from the F80 generation (2014), BMW separated the M3 nameplate by body style:

M3 (F80/G80): Sedan only. This is the nameplate covered by this SKU.
M4 (F82/F83): Coupe and convertible, split from M3 starting 2014. M4 door frames are different from M3 sedan, visors are not interchangeable.

Before the split (E36/E46/E90 era), coupe and convertible variants were still badged as M3 and are covered by this SKU.

Cross-Generation Incompatibility

Door visors are NOT interchangeable across M3 generations. Each generation has distinct door frame geometry:

E36 vs E46: Different door frame curvature and window channel dimensions
E46 vs E90: E46 has no sedan variant; E90 sedan door frame is wider than E46 coupe
E90 vs F80: Different CLAR platform architecture, redesigned door frame
F80 vs G80: G80 features larger kidney grille and revised body panels, door frame dimensions differ

M3 vs Standard 3-Series Isolation

Although the M3 is based on the 3-Series platform, it features unique body panels including flared fenders, different front and rear bumpers, and modified door frames. M3 door visors are NOT interchangeable with standard 3-Series door visors within the same generation. Buyers must confirm they are ordering for the M3 variant, not the standard 3-Series.

E30 M3 Exclusion

The first-generation M3 (E30, 1986-1991) is not covered by this SKU. The E30 M3 has a completely different 2-door coupe body and door frame design. Buyers with E30 M3 vehicles should contact AutoBridge for a separate fitment solution.

Production Gap Advisory

The page lists "2014-2018" for F80 and "2020-Present" for G80. The 2019 model year represents a production gap between the F80 and G80 generations. No 2019 M3 sedans were produced. Buyers should verify their vehicle's production year before ordering.

Product Overview

AutoBridge door visors for the BMW M3 are manufactured using injection molding and plastic uptake processes, with material and design options tailored to each generation's door frame specifications. All options are compatible with the 5 M3 generations covered by this SKU.

Material	Thickness	Flexibility	Weather Resistance	Recommended Trim
PC (Polycarbonate)	2.0-2.5mm	High (bendable by hand)	Excellent UV resistance	3D Stainless Steel
Acrylic (PMMA)	2.0-2.5mm	Medium	Good clarity, moderate UV	Chrome Lining
PS (Polystyrene)	1.2-1.8mm	Low (rigid)	Moderate, anti-oxidation coating recommended	Electroplated Bright Strip

Design Styles

Mugen	Sport-inspired aggressive profile, complementing M3 performance character	PC
Chrome Lining/Trim	Bright chrome accent strip along the visor edge	PS (electroplated) or Acrylic
Steel Lining/Trim	Stainless steel accent strip, mirror or 3D finish	PC (3D) or PS (mirror)

Color Options

Color	Appearance	Visibility
Black	Solid black, OEM-style	Low profile, blends with window frame
Translucent	Semi-transparent, light passes through	Subtle, maintains visibility
Smoke	Tinted, graduated darkness	Sporty, complements M3 performance image
2-Tone	Dual color combination	Customizable, distinctive look

Installation Methods

Method	Description	Reversibility	M3 Compatibility
Clip on	Spring clips grip the window channel	Removable without residue	All 5 generations
Tape on	Automotive-grade adhesive tape	Semi-permanent, clean removal	All 5 generations
In Channel	Inserts into window channel	Snug fit, may affect auto-up window	All 5 generations (verify channel width)
Out Channel	Mounts on exterior door frame	Removable, no channel interference	All 5 generations

Manufacturing Process

Two primary processes are used for door visor production:

Injection Molding: Higher machining accuracy, controllable thickness at 2.0mm to 2.5mm. Preferred for PC and Acrylic materials. Higher mold opening cost but superior surface finish and dimensional precision.
Plastic Uptake (Vacuum Forming): Lower mold opening cost, controllable thickness at 1.2mm to 1.8mm. Suitable for PS material and lower-volume production runs. Acceptable surface quality for applications where visual perfection is not critical.

The widening of door visors is based on the car models. Each M3 generation requires a dedicated mold set to match its unique door frame curvature.

The color of the protective film covers on the chrome/steel trim is transparent or blue. The color can be custom built by buyer.

Fitment: BMW M3 (1992-Present)

This door visor set is engineered for the BMW M3 across 5 generations. Each generation requires generation-specific molds due to different door frame dimensions. Verify your M3 generation before ordering.

5-Generation Fitment Matrix

Gen	Chassis	Production Years	Body Styles Covered	Door Visor Fitment
2nd	E36	1992-1999	Coupe, Convertible, Sedan (1994+)	Generation-specific mold, body-style-specific contour
3rd	E46	2000-2006	Coupe, Convertible	No sedan M3 in this generation; coupe and convertible share door frame
4th	E90/E92/E93	2007-2013	Sedan (E90), Coupe (E92), Convertible (E93)	Three body-style-specific molds; sedan and coupe frames differ
5th	F80	2014-2018	Sedan only	Single body style; coupe/convertible became M4 (not covered)
6th	G80	2020-Present	Sedan, Touring (G81 from 2022)	Sedan and Touring share front door frame; rear doors may differ

Body Style Compatibility Notes

E36 Sedan vs Coupe: Different door count (4 vs 2), different door frame dimensions. Specify body style when ordering.
E46 Coupe vs Convertible: Convertible door frame reinforced for top-down operation; visor mounting surface differs slightly.
E90 Sedan vs E92 Coupe: Different door geometry despite shared E90 platform. Sedan has 4 doors, coupe has 2 longer doors.
F80 Sedan only: No coupe/convertible M3 in this generation. M4 (F82/F83) is a separate model with different door frames.
G80 Sedan vs G81 Touring: Front doors are shared; rear door frame on Touring may have different curvature. Verify rear door fitment for Touring models.

Engine Variants (Do Not Affect Fitment)

Engine variant does not affect door visor fitment within the same generation and body style. All engine variants (S50, S52, S54, S65, S55, S58) share identical door frame dimensions:

E36: S50 (Euro 3.0L), S52 (US 3.2L), S50 B32 (Euro 3.2L)
E46: S54 3.2L I6 (all markets)
E90/E92/E93: S65 4.0L V8 (all variants including CRT, GTS)
F80: S55 3.0L Twin-Turbo I6 (standard, Competition, CS)
G80: S58 3.0L Twin-Turbo I6 (standard, Competition, CS, RWD and M xDrive)

Model Year vs Production Year

Due to the use of open network databases like Wikipedia and Autohome, there may be minor variations in year descriptions. "Production Years" are the years when a specific model is first introduced to the public market. "Model Years" refer to the different versions available to consumers. For example, the E36 M3 was introduced in 1992 (Production Year) but Model Year listings may start from 1992 or 1993 depending on the market. These differences do not affect door visor fitment within the same generation.

Chrome trim for door visors --- Electroplated bright strip shape design Electroplated bright strip shape design with PS material main body

Electroplated Bright Strip Shape Design

Electroplated bright trims are processed with chrome plating technology on high-quality plastic blanks. The processed chrome-plated bright trim can present a more shiny metallic luster under high light compared to 3D stainless steel decorative strips. When touched by hand, the curvature of the electroplated bright trim is more three-dimensional and rounder than that of the 3D stainless steel chrome trim. To improve weather resistance characteristics, anti-oxidation surface treatment can be applied to electroplated bright trims. Electroplated bright trim s are usually matched with PS materials.

Mirror stainless steel design with PS material main body

Mirror Stainless Steel Design

The design of mirror stainless steel creates a nearly embedded installation for the chrome trim, which is smoothly installed in the groove of the door visor. The chrome trim fits smoothly into the groove of the door visor, providing a smooth feel when touched by hand. This smooth design reflects light differently from 3D stainless steel designs, with a single reflection angle that makes it look more like a flat mirror when reflecting objects. The large curvature of the door visor main body complements the smooth decorative design, creating an obvious turning point relationship and enhancing its overall aesthetic appeal.

Chrome trim for door visors --- 3D stainless steel design

3D stainless steel design with PC material main body

The PC material of the door visor can be bent to a large extent by hand

The PC material of the door visor can be bent to a large extent

3D Stainless Steel Design

The shape of the 3D stainless steel trim is more three-dimensional and rounded than the mirror stainless steel shape. The top and bottom sides of the chrome trim and the protruding vertex in the middle form a curved design. When touched by hand, you can intuitively feel the change in curvature. This curved shape produces varying reflection effects under high light at different angles. The main body of the door visor itself already has a certain curve design, and when they are paired together, they show a more traditional design style. 3D Stainless steel chrome trims are commonly used with PC material door visors. The flexibility of the PC material allows for this type of door visor with such a design can be bent to a large extent.
