Can Lg-1 guide go with a M3

I have an LG-1 on my '07 M3. I'm 90% sure it (frame/guide) has the standard ISCG bolt pattern.
From what I can tell, the site recommends running an SRS. The SRS seems like it would work a bit better for the M3.

No. Your M3 has the standard ISCG pattern. You'll have to get a different backplate from e.thirteen.
You might be able to use a ISCG adapter, but then will probably run into spacing problems.
i got an srs to fit on mine. its the same thing as far as fit
The Lg1 fits an M3 without a problem. Not sure how you had issues, but its a pretty simple install. Was the guide you were using new? The spacers come with the systems and are color coded for easy setup. The LG1 is lighter than a System 3 Carbon. The System 3 Carbon weighs 260g, the LG1 weighs 195g.

I am not sure if the latest M3 frames are ISCG or ISCG05, you can check your frame and verify pretty easily. ISCG05 has a larger bolt pattern than ISCG. If you have an ISCG frame, then you will need an ISCG backplate, but if your LG1 is brand new, you should call e.thirteen or e-mail the guys in the office. They will help you out. 978 537 9313, or support@e13components.com.
The LG1 itself will fit an M3 no problem. Kovarik has been on one for 3 seasons now.

All intense frames are old ISCG, I had a 2005 M3, and now have a 2007, both have the same ISCG mount, the older one.
LG1 definitely fits the 2005 frame
LG1 definitely fits the 2005 frame
Okey Dokey, just in case anyone is interested,
I spent last night fitting an LG-1 (ISCG-OLD) to an 05 M3 frame.
I am using Diabolus cranks and BB, and all I had to do was file off a bit off the plastic back plate for the lower roller so that it could fit under the chainstay a bit better and I could rotate the guide into the correct position.
I thought this would be the case with the 73mm bottom bracket. I had a SRS guide on there before and it needed a fair bit of grinding of the back plate to sit properly.
All sweet, love your work DW.

Grinding? What? That does not sound right. A wide angle back plate does not require any modification if the tabs are welded on correctly. Then again, ISCG05 addresses several issues with ISCG old pattern.
Any more questions then drop a line to support@e13components.com
Kovarik likes the e.thirteen gear. He won Mont Saint Anne with it.

I think it was just a problem with the 05 m3 frames. They have a 73 mm bottom bracket and the ISCG tabs sit pretty much flush with the bottom swing link. The SRS I had needed grinding of that bottom part of the boomerang so that the swing link could move without rubbing on it. Also, the top corner of the top end of the boomerang needed grinding down so that it didn't hit the rear triangle.
With the 06-07 m3's, the bottom bracket was changed to 83mm and so the ISCG tabs sit further out and miss all of that.
