We will work with some of the best brands in the industry to construct our 1M project car, and are excited to cooperate with:

Patrick BMW
ESS Tuning
Brembo
KW
Challenge Engineering
and of course Eisenmann Exhaust Systems, GmbH

Many of you are already familiar with Jon’s rendering of this Alpine White 1M with a modernized version of the traditional 3.0 CSL-style paint scheme. This rendering scheme will be the basis for our project.

So when does IND get their 1M
Can't wait to see this.

Pilgrimage is so common among human cultures that it can almost be considered a cultural universal among all people on earth. Many cultures and religions have revered places, holy lands that the people of that culture travel to by the thousands to gain enlightenment and a more complete sense of self. If there is one such pilgrimage for BMW fans, it is BimmerFest. Year after year BMW enthusiasts come in greater and greater numbers to southern California to celebrate their love for BMW cars, and year after year IND and our staff join these people.

IND once again traveled to BimmerFest this year to experience BMW nirvana with fellow BMW fans. This year we were fortunate enough to have two of our favorite Portfolio Project cars at the Race Technologies/Brembo booth, and the IND and WSTO Z4 at the ESS Tuning booth. Thanks to both companies for hosting our cars, and thanks to everyone for stopping by the booths!

Rebuilding history.

No matter how many M3 iterations are released by BMW, most seasoned BMW enthusiasts will agree on one thing- no modern M3 can replicate the unfiltered appeal of the original E30 M3.

The E30 M3 is an anomaly even among BMW’s sporting bloodline - a car that was created for competition use first and released to the public purely as a means of achieving motorsport homologation. This clarity of purpose is visible in every aspect of the E30 M3’s design, and it’s precisely the car’s focus that makes it unique.

To most modern day car buyers the E30 M3’s 4 cylinder engine is noisy, rough, and lackluster in terms of bottom-end power output, the suspension rough and unyielding, the interior cramped and uncomfortable by current standards. But the rare few understand the E30 M3 for what it is - a sports BMW in it’s purest form.

The E30 M3 is an ultimate expression of BMW’s motorsport heritage, and every component seen on the car affirms this fact. The 4 cylinder engine is dynamically perfect, allowing the E30 to have fast turn-in and fantastic steering response due to the engine’s short length. The S14 four cylinder sings to it’s redline with an unmistakable noise and produces power at high RPM where it’s needed most. The chassis is rigid and suspension and steering incredibly communicative. The interior is compact and completely driver-focused with no extraneous controls or decorations.

Our client is an experienced BMW fanatic, and is among the crowd that can appreciate the E30 M3 for the piece of motorsport history it is. The owner of this beautiful E30 M3 purchased the car several years, and has worked tirelessly to improve and restore the car every year. To date, IND has completely overhauled the suspension with solid bushings, reinforced the rear subframe, added Ground Control coilovers, installed BBS LM wheels and the car’s gorgeous EVO aerodynamics package including a front spoiler and rear wing with integrated gourney flap. We’ve also added a Personal steering wheel, a carbon fiber sunroof panel, and helped our client perform countless maintenance tasks. Our client has also rebuilt the engine to be a true 2.5 liter!

This E30 M3 will never stop evolving as it’s owner continues to develop and restore the car, but here are some of our latest photos of his masterpiece in progress. Enjoy!

Style up!

It was such a treat to see this car in person when I picked up my E90 (which I am loving, BTW). As an owner of an E30 M3 myself, I must say that the photos of this car really do not do it justice at all. Truth be told, when I saw it in the parking lot at IND it was hard to stay focused on the car I went to pick up. Thanks for posting the photos and writeup. Cars as nice as this deserve to be enjoyed by everyone!!!!

[E92M3WOOT]

Would love to see an E30 like that in person...

Is the AW E92 the Challenge M3?

If so, out of curiosity, is that their exhaust that they plan on eventually releasing?

Yes that's the Challenge M3 with the new exhaust system installed. Should be coming out this month.

What trunk is on the white one, just one of the race trunks or is it new? It looks different but it's probably just the view
