ABOUT // I've been documenting this build for years but have been too busy to post. But now that its time to say goodbye to my dream car, I'm finally getting around to posting this thread.

1. AUTOcouture Motoring is some of the best in the game and their very first big build was this car. No expense or detail was overlooked building this and I daily drove it for years and have had absolutely zero, not a single issue.

2. The very first time I saw a modded e92 m3 was in college and it was white and I told myself it would be a life goal to get one. Working for Lamborghini corporate a few years later I shot the launch edition Aventador and it was in satin white pearl. So the first order of business was to transform the Jerez Black to frozen mineral white (bmw) or 'bianco canopus' (lamborghini). Incognito Wraps is the hands down the best in Las Vegas and they meticulously transformed my car over a period of 2 months. One of the most impressive pieces is the Voresteiner duck tail which is a single piece of vinyl for the top section and ducktail itself which avoids seams and areas that can possibly fail.

3. Next is my favorite part of the entire car is the extremely rare full kevlar RD Sport rear bumper. Combined with the full carbon RD Sport diffuser, this piece totally transforms the look of the car and makes it unique and recognizable. The rear bumper/diffuser were both made in Italy and I haven't seen a single car in person with the same piece on it.

4. I just love the deep rich red look on the taillights. So I took it to a professional paint shop and stood there as they sprayed each layer of tinted gray over it until it was the perfect shade of red for me. Top picture - left is before, right is after. Bottom picture - my friend let me borrow his mclaren when my car was under the knife the tails here are right after I picked them up after they were sprayed.

5. Dat ass. Here's the finished result of the rear - tinted tails, satin white pearl wrap, yellow pin strip to tie in the interior, etc.

6. I'm really close friends with Gintani and love them and their brand, but the super bassy exhaust just resonated at certain rpms and I couldn't deal with it. IPE F1 was hands down my favorite exhaust for the e92 m3 so I swapped that out and had it installed by the tech that oversees my car (former Lambo master tech, BMW tech, and now Ferrari tech).

7. I also shot for Arkym in the past and the full carbon front bumper is one of my favorite mods for the m3. Form meets function.
Image hosted on: fabrikmedia.blob.core.windows.net

8. After many iterations I decided on a wrap scheme for the front bumper. Again Incognito does the impossible and wraps the entire front bumper in a single sheet to avoid seams. You can see the vinyl in my pictures everyone thinks its paint and the maintenance is super easy since its satin.

9. The next step was to completely gut the interior, recondition the leather, steam clean/disinfect interior pieces, wrap the interior pieces, etc.

10. Here's the completed interior.

13. Fast forward a few years, I was taking out my team to have dinner and I come out to see that some old lady basically did a reverse doughnut and took out 5 cars including mine. Headlight, bumper, fender, etc.

14. One of the cars she hit the hardest had their hubcap stuck in her front bumper (police took it out and placed it on the ground) lol.

15. Thankfully, the other side was okay.
Image hosted on: fabrikmedia.blob.core.windows.net

16. New accidents = New parts. The DTM rings make the car look so much more modern, the real carbon eyebrows make it look much more intimidating, and all the other headlight changes from BayOptiks make this mod one of my favorites.

17. These genuine full carbon Arkym Race bumpers are nearly impossible to find these days. I got lucky and this is the bumper being wrapped at incognito.

21. Btw car passes smog every year
FINAL PHOTOSHOOT // I'm a professional car photographer but its taken me 6 years to finally shoot my car because I need to sell it haha. Anyway, I worked really hard on this set and actually shoot all the ad campaigns for BMW USA so I hope you enjoy the photos.
