ACM | Interlagos Blue E92 M3

When this customer first reached out to Jeff, he had just purchased this M3. Coming from a 335, he was very familiar with this platform and what was available. His initial email was inquiring about an install price for a $500 part he was supplying on his own. Dozens and dozens of emails back and forth, they began to brainstorm about a bigger picture...overall appearance and performance upgrades that the owner had been dreaming of for years.

Despite the low mileage, he wanted to do the rod bearings first and foremost, but also to prepare himself for the VT2-650 supercharger. While it was here for the rod bearings we also installed Ohlins R/T coil overs and an Akrapovic slip on muffler with carbon tips paired to a Borla quad resonated X-pipe. After his 1,000 mile break-in for the rod bearings we went with StopTech Trophy BBK, HRE Classic 301 in brushed dark clear, Turner Motorsports aluminum under tray, ESS Tuning VT2-650 supercharger with custom painted manifold by IND, Awron gauge, RKP diffuser, BC Carbon color matched front lip, and M Performance trunk spoiler.

Yes, sorry missed that in the list! It is the Turner under tray. They're completely worth it. I put one on my E90 and it's so nice not scraping on the streets like I usually do.

The supercharged cars require a little craftiness to make them work with the extra bits above, but they do fit together.

depends on front lip and if car is s/c

only difference on a stock car is the frame mounts which have to be set up before the panels go on. past that, smooth sailing

Yes basically. As Jeff mentioned, with supercharged cars it takes some work, we even did an E90 that had a GT4 front lip on it which TMS states does not fit together. The tray itself, being multiple overlapping pieces takes a little bit of persuasion when lining up to bolt in, but very minimal....nothing one person can't handle on their own while bolting together.
