This weekend we had the pleasure to work on a 2011 Mineral White M3 that our customer brought to us for a quick make over

Having the perfect set of wheels sets the image of the car. We had many different options to consider for this project, but the guys at BBS offered us something new and different that no one else had - the new BBS FI in Satin Black finish. We knew right away this was our best option.

Once the wheels were selected, we chose to use Brembo GT BBK in Red finish to give the wheels a bold look.

The car came in with a very loud aftermarket exhaust system that the customer wasn't happy with and we knew that the Akrapovic Evolution exhaust system would be the ideal choice. In order to achieve the max performance, we used ESS Akrapovic ECU tune.

Options that were added:

BBS FI Satin Black Wheels
Brembo GT 380 Big Brake Kit
ESS Akrapovic ECU Tune
Akrapovic Evolution Exhaust System
BMW Performance Front and Side Grilles
LUX Angel Eyes

Enjoy,

Aleks.

Very nice! Does the owner have any suspension plans?

Yeah, I hate to be "that guy", but that car really needs a subtle drop.

tightie · 02-20-2012, 01:59 AM

clean

kchu221 · 02-20-2012, 02:08 AM

love the wheels....

creaminz · 02-20-2012, 02:27 AM

awesome parts....but red center caps just doesn't look right imo. I think black or cf bbs caps will look better...

e92_m3 · 02-20-2012, 02:35 AM

Clean nonetheless!

Just need a drop and the owner is all set.

Alekshop · 02-20-2012, 09:07 AM

Thanks guys ... Next mod most likely will be VT600 and coilovers

Nice build

GOLFFRR · 02-20-2012, 09:36 AM

love it!

jeff@autocouture · 02-20-2012, 10:09 AM

looking good, but like above the center caps look out of place

GTM_Challenge · 02-20-2012, 01:34 PM

Car will look great once it gets a little drop

+1 Looks great but needs a slight drop.

saeedg48 · 02-20-2012, 01:50 PM

delete the orange reflectors and drop the car.

tlp · 02-20-2012, 02:06 PM

Usually I'm not one to say "Needs a drop" but in this case it's screaming for one. Rolling on those wheels & brakes w/o a drop is plain wrong.

IMG · 02-20-2012, 03:43 PM

Looks sick,need a drop tho

mkPOTO · 02-20-2012, 03:44 PM

looks good!

Alekshop · 02-20-2012, 07:59 PM

Haha ... I agree the car has to be lowered so we will work on that once it's back ...

couldn't agree more, at 1st i was like, "gotDAMN!! bbs fi!"... then i was like, "sumthin's off tho".
i figured it jus needs a drop n reflectors, but nope, the red caps against the bbk throw it off real bad. the shades don't match imo.
