SG E92 ESS VT1 Build - Thanks to AutoCouture Motoring & ESS!

1SICKM · 12-15-2011, 12:50 PM

I haven't posted too many pics of my E92 since I sold my E90 in October due to the amount of time we've spent on this build. Special thanks to the team at AutoCouture Motoring and ESS! Both companies carry a level of service, attention to detail and experience that's second to none. Putting that aside, there a good group of guys. ACM is responsibile for the interior modification we've done to date....LeatherZ alcantara boots, BMW Version 2 wheels, P3 Boost Gauge and the custom painted trim panels (paint is top secret

). Future plans include VT2 625 upgrade, BBK, Custom Recaro package from ACM. A professional shoot will be done in the spring. Note - the 1/4 run at the end was my first run with the ESS kit on the car...approx 5days after install. I did a rollout just to get comfortable before launching.
