Man, I thought I was crazy for planning to install all my mods (wheels, exhaust, suspension, and minor cosmetic stuff) within a week but I only have a fraction of those mods. That is going to be a sick car! Please post pictures of the install process!!

EAS has good taste, I have Advan RS-D Wheels and an Amuse bumper too. I guess it's a race to who can post pics first!

Ohh buddy..gonna have 2 sweet E92s there now (this one and Tom's ride). Can't wait to come by and see the final product.

What's up with your new performance steering wheel? Don't wanna show that off at Sema?

tom @ eas · 10-16-2009, 02:55 PM

Bit of a backstory: we work very closely with our manufacturers, a primary reason we are at this stage with this build. The M3 is owned by ATI, which also distributes the Stri lineup for North America.

The particular build was achieved with a strategic alliance with choice manufactures, as well with involvement in with consulting/buildup. and will be displayed at SEMA in booth #24619.

On with the build.

noxredna · 10-17-2009, 03:06 PM

nice build.. but seems like there's only one direction to mod this car..

would be nice to see people taking our M3s in a whole different direction.

tom @ eas · 10-19-2009, 01:58 PM

The quality and craftsmanship on this piece is amazing every time a kit is unboxed.
