✪ Alekshop ⎢Building a US Spec M3 GTS
 Featured on BIMMERPOST.com After reading multiple press releases, looking at million pictures, translating technical info from German to English we gathered enough information to come up with a plan to build a US Spec M3 GTS. Being a limited production car that was not offered in United States, we knew it will be extremely difficult to obtain the original M3 GTS parts for our project. That was a roadblock for us as we wanted to build a car that will be a sibling to M3 GTS with all the original parts that BMW designed for this Ultimate Driving Machine! Well, recently it all changed and we were able to made a contact with a German company that provided us with most of the original GTS parts that we wanted to have. After that contact was made, we knew that recently released limited production M3 Lime Rock Park Edition will be a perfect candidate for our project as it was "Born On The Racetrack To Live On The Street". We are happy to share with a M3 community our ongoing build of a US Spec M3 GTS that starts now and we hope you enjoy it! In this post we would like to introduce our candidate for the build BMW M3 Lime Rock Edition that came to us from our friends at East Bay BMW.  High Res Screen Saver  High Res Screen Saver  High Res Screen Saver  High Res Screen Saver  High Res Screen Saver  High Res Screen Saver  High Res Screen Saver  High Res Screen Saver  High Res Screen Saver More information will be posted as we unfold our project. Update 1: Akrapovic GT4 Exhaust System replaces the Performance BMW Exhaust.   High Res Screen Saver Shop gets filled with more stuff   Thank you, Aleks.

Can't wait. Looks like the exhaust has already been pulled, and a stud kit added.

Yes, exhaust was removed and being replaced with Akrapovic GT4 system to reduce the weight and get a bit more power. |

I definitely cannot wait to see this build unfold.
These are hands down the best photos I've seen here on Bimmerpost. Composition, off camera lighting, and post-processing are at a whole other level! Well done.
