That one is from BMW. Unfortunately that piece is no longer being produced by them.

E92 M3 Color: Frozen Grey Transmission: DCT Modifications: Vorsteiner Carbon Fiber Front Splitter Carbon Fiber Rear Diffuser Carbon Fiber Trunk Spoiler Frozen Grey Edition Package: - Fox Red Extended Novillo Leather Interior - Black Chrome Kidney Grilles - Side Intake Trim - Exhaust Tips - Jet Black Hood Intake Grilles - Jet Black 19-inch Alloy Wheels Produced from May 2010 until just July 2010, only 30 Frozen Grey Metallic E92 M3 models were produced. This number does not include the 10 “Frozen Grey Edition” coupes produced for the South Korean market. With the limited number of the Frozen Grey cars, they are certainly a sight to see. The Black and Fox Red Bi-Color Novillo Leather on the interior is a definite twist on the standard single color seats. Included with the purchase of the Frozen Grey M3 are the lightweight 19-inch wheels providing a more dramatic offset, a 0.4-inch drop, reprogrammed electronic dampening, and a higher threshold for stability control. These improvements are bundled with the Premium and Technology Packages. It is fairly easy to stand out with the Frozen Grey Metallic E92, but why not add a Vorsteiner Carbon Fiber Front Splitter, matching trunk spoiler, and rear diffuser? A carbon fiber 1x1 weave flows perfectly with the Frozen Grey, being noticeable yet not taking attention away from the lines of the car. The Black Chrome Kidney Grilles along with all of the other included black components like the Side Intake Trims and Hood Intake Trims keep the car stealthy and very neutral. https://europeanautosource.com/blog/...2-m3-1-30.html |

E92 M3 Color: Frozen Red Metallic Transmission: DCT Modifications: KW Coilover Sleeve Kit BBS LM Wheels Pirelli P Zero Tires (Front: 245/30 ZR20 Rear:285/25 ZR20 Stud Conversion Muteki SR35 Lugs Dinan Intake IPE Full Exhaust Vorsteiner Carbon Fiber Diffuser Carbon Fiber Side Skirts Black Kidney Grilles Black Hood Vents Red Interior Stitching Offered in three different colors, frozen painted E92 M3 Coupes are quite rare, with only 150 Frozen Edition cars built for the US market in 2013. Among the three options, Frozen White is said to be easiest to find, followed by Frozen Blue, and the hardest Frozen Red. Of course the Frozen White is still a rare sight considering the number of E92s out there. Frozen edition cars like this came with a $15,400 premium over the base M3s, which seems pricey, but considering the $5000 paint job, $2500 competition package, EDC and DSC sport mapping, $4350 Premium Package, among other smaller upgrades like gloss black kidney grilles and black exhaust tips, the money is well put in to the car. As unique as the Frozen Edition E92 M3 is, this Frozen Red Metallic M3 stands out even in a crowd of Frozen Edition models. Lowered on a KW Coilover Sleeve Kit on classic BBS LM wheels wrapped in Pirelli P Zero Tires (Front: 245/30 ZR20 | Rear: 285/25 ZR20), this M3 sits low with a super aggressive stance. Aiding in the aggressiveness is the Carbon Fiber Side Skirts and Vorsteiner Carbon Fiber Rear Diffuser. Be wary of this car, its Dinan Intake and IPE Full Exhaust system will have your entire body vibrating! https://europeanautosource.com/blog/...-the-show.html |

E92 M3 Color: Alpine White Transmission: 6MT Modifications: ESS VT2-625 Supercharger ESS X-Pipe Meisterschaft Exhaust System Awron DGA Gauge At the time of its release, BMW purists were more or less opposed to the new M3. Arguments surrounded the fact that the V8 would make the car too heavy. Producing around 350 horsepower to the wheels, the M3 was a more than capable car for the about 1580kg (3483 lbs) curb weight, comparing to the current coupe, (F82 M4) which has a curb weight of about 1497kg (3300 lbs). The F82 has about 425 horsepower however. Lucky for the owner of this M3, we fitted it was an ESS VT2-625 Supercharger system. The VT2-625 adds quite a significant amount of horsepower, rising the roughly 350whp to about 530whp on this car, making a nearly 50% horsepower increase at about 7 PSI. This M3 may give a stock appearance, but quite the opposite is true. Having a device to display information like boost or oil pressure or various temperatures is essential when having a supercharger in your car. The Awron DGA Guage is the all in one display that does just that. This 20-in-1 gauge is the perfect option for track enthusiasts, supercharged cars or for those just wanting to add some flair and functionality to the M3's interior! Have a look at the before and after video on our dyno. Be ready to control your speakers because this car screams! https://europeanautosource.com/blog/ess-powered-m3.html |

E92 M3 Color: Black Sapphire Metallic Transmission: DCT Modifications: RPI Exhaust ESS Supercharger Pedal Haus Paddle Shifters AWRON Gauge Black Kidney Grilles Black M3 Trunk Badge Sleeper: Often referring to what appears to be an ordinary looking stock commuter car that is anything but stock under the hood. Producing around 340 hp to the wheels at stock, the E92 M3 was not a slow car off the line, and rather set the new standard for BMW’s 3-series line. Still being one of the most modified models from BMW, this Black Sapphire Metallic M3 has been equipped with a supercharger by ESS Tuning. ESS Tuning has rolled out a small handful of supercharger versions from the VT1-550 Non-intercooled system, to the VT2-595,-625, or -650 models which produce about 41%, 50%, and 56% horsepower increases respectively. In addition to the ESS Supercharger that this E92 was equipped with, being able to monitor boost pressures, among 19 other standard features, is quite the luxury. The AWRON DGA Gauge does just this. This 20-in-1 gauge is the perfect option for track enthusiasts, supercharged cars or for those just wanting to add some flair and functionality to the M3's interior. The included plug and play harnesses make the job of installing this many gauges easier than ever. On the exterior, other than painted reflectors, black kidney grilles, a black M3 trunk badge, and the large tips of the RPI exhaust system, this M3 looks completely stock. The story is different when looking under the hood or in the cockpit though. Getting low enough, the intercooler for the ESS Supercharger and the intake air filter can be seen, but because of their colors and fitment they appear to be factory. https://europeanautosource.com/blog/...e-sleeper.html |

E92 M3 Color: Silverstone Metallic Transmission: DCT Modifications: Recaro Profi XL Fixed-Back Racing Seats Macht Schnell Seat Adapters M Performance Steering Wheel Vorsteiner Carbon Fiber Rear Diffuser APR Racing Front Lip Spoiler Carbon Fiber Trunk Spoiler Mounts Brembo Big Brake Kit Black Front and Side Grilles Apex EC7 Front Wheels w/ Hankook Ventus V12 Evo 285/30Z/R18 Rays Engineering Volk Racing TE27 SL Rear Wheels w/ Hankook Ventus V12 Evo 285/30Z/R18 Carbon Fiber Mirror Caps Carbon Fiber Front Canards KW V3 Coilovers Jam packed with many features, this Silverstone Metallic E92 M3 loves to hit the track. Typically, sitting on two different sets of wheels don’t give the best appearance, however this car can certainly pull it off with its TE37 SL wheels in the rear and Apex EC7 wheels in the front. Running a square setup of 285/30ZR18 with Hankook Ventus V12 Evo tires front and back, this E92 without a doubt grips the road. Aiding in that grip is the APR Racing Front Lip Spoiler, rear diffuser, and the rear wing, when it’s on that is. On the trunk there are carbon fiber rear spoiler rail mounts that allow the wing to be taken on and off for before, during, and after the track day. Nearly every aspect of improvement that can be made for the track has been done to this M3. Providing more control and grip is an M Performance Steering Wheel which has been made easier to turn in the corners with the Recaro Profi XL Racing Seats with Macht Schnell Rail Adapters and 3” Schroth Racing Harnesses mounted to a Yellow Painted Roll Cage. Sitting low, the car looks fairly aggressive. This aggressive stance comes from the racing alignment and the KW V3 Coilover Suspension. Part of performing well on the track is having the car be aligned to perform at its maximum possible potential, effectively maximizing the usage of the tires. https://europeanautosource.com/blog/...ic-e92-m3.html |

No the owner uses his M3 primarily for track use and that was the set he had laying around one day.

E92 M3 Color: Fire Orange Transmission: DCT Modifications: Akrapovic Exhaust System KW V3 Coilovers Coding Lime Rock Park Edition Package: - BMW Performance Carbon Fiber Front Splitters - BMW Performance Carbon Fiber Trunk Spoiler - BMW M Performance Alcantara Steering Wheel w/ Blue Index Stripe - Optional Jet Black 19-inch Alloy Wheels - "Lime Rock Park Limited Edition M3 Coupe" Decal on Driver-Side Rear Window - "M3 Lime Rock Park Edition, Created in Limited Numbers by BMW M GmbH, ONE of 200" Center Console Plaque As of late, there have been some quite rare E92 M3s coming to EAS in order to get some work done. Beginning with the Frozen Red Metallic M3 on BBS LM Wheels, then the 1 of 30 Frozen Grey Metallic M3, and now this Fire Orange Lime Rock Park Edition M3. For a span of three months in 2012 the Lime Rock Park Edition M3 was produced, but only in a limited quantity of 200 cars. The car certainly captures your attention as it passes by with the bright Fire Orange paint. Unlike some special edition E92 M3 models, buyers were able to choose between a six-speed manual transmission and the 7-speed Dual Clutch Transmission. Included in the Lime Rock Park (LRP) Edition are Carbon Fiber Front Splitters, Carbon Fiber Trunk Spoiler, BMW M Performance Alcantara Steering Wheel w/ a Blue Index Stripe, optional 19” Jet Black Wheels, special decal on the driver’s side window, plaque on the center console, and BMW Performance Exhaust. However the exhaust on this LRP M3 is not the standard system and rather has a much louder and deeper tone to it with its Akrapovic Exhaust System. Being fairly feature packed, all this LRP M3 needed after the exhaust system was a drop on some KW V3 Coilovers. https://europeanautosource.com/blog/...specialty.html |

Car is beyond gorgeous and very well modded.
Where did these Akrapovic tips come from? I have the CF tips, but mine don't have painted logos like that. Where these customized or did they come that way? |

E92 M3 Color: Silverstone Metallic Transmission: DCT Modifications: Eisenmann Slip-On Exhaust As good as a stock E92 M3 is, one modification that can increase horsepower by a significant figure as well as improve sound, among other things, is an exhaust system. However, choosing the right exhaust system is usually a challenge. For some, an aggressive exhaust note is the only priority, but when it comes down to choosing an exhaust system there are actually many factors a buyer can consider. On a sportier vehicle, weight savings is typically a goal. With that said, higher performance exhaust systems are made of various materials like stainless steel, aluminized steel, titanium, and even now nickel, chromium, Inconel, and other super alloy materials. Other factors of the exhaust systems would be how restrictive the system is, whether the system is a full one or just various parts, and perhaps the most critical of all, cost. For this Silverstone M3, an Eisenmann Slip On Exhaust was the choice system. The V8 motor is very capable of producing massive sound on its own but with an Eisenmann system you won’t want to stop driving. Construction of all Eisenmann systems, both externally and internally is in 100 % light weight T304/T306 stainless steel throughout; the design of each and every system from tube configuration and size to muffler and box dimensions are meticulously calculated and optimized to provide maximum performance at all revs. Backed by a 2 year warranty, the system is certainly worth the money. https://europeanautosource.com/blog/...n-upgrade.html |

Akrapovic was here Monday to talk about some new products and this was brought up, as they do not offer a colorized version of their nameplate on the E9X tips.

Likely custom, nothing offered by Akrapovic.

I looked real quick and didnt see them on their site anymore. Just a guess but they could be Autotecknic's sold under their name.
