I went with Carbon Fiber trim on the interior so I'm not sure what you are asking for...

It's all beautiful. Just don't like the wing...

Too much...

G4BR13L · 11-24-2015, 02:34 PM

I love this colour palette! And those rims!

Yup - I get it. Not everyone's cup of tea...

However, being as I designed this to be a tribute car for the original M3 GTS, it really had to have a Wing. I thought the Motorsport24 wing was the closest in appearance to the original and not as "ricey" as other choices. I'm very happy with that choice all said and done.

It really does look like the M3 GTS at first blush...

I am normally not a 'wings on car' guy but.....with what you have done, this looks right.

I agree 100% with you man, basic build with simple mods. I assume not too many super extreme f8x mods yet, or people willing to drop 20k plus for minimal mods. Ind did a pretty sick 235i a few months back but nothing impressive from an "all out" build perspective.

This customer had a clear vision for the build and wanted something OEM+. We have a new M4 build at IND that is going to take 4 months just to complete

Cool, look forward to seeing you guys do more than just bolt-ons any shop can do.

Keyword "M3"

DeZarc · 11-30-2015, 06:46 AM

Dope! I think it would look much cleaner without the wing. To each his own though!

Last time I checked I think there is 2 or 3 FO M3's. This is the only FO M4 I've ever seen or heard of.

As OP stated, there a few 2015 FO M4's, but his is the only 2016. I have a '15 FO M4.

This summer BMW simply cancelled any/all Fire Orange vehicles coming out of the Munich plant (M4 coupes are built in Munich). The only reason my vehicle survived is that BMW and I were working on the build for so long (since August 2014).

BMW Individual specifically requested to preserve this single order and they managed to do just that. (Thanks Thomas!)

I was also told there will be no more FO cars built in the Munich plant until they get the paint robots replaced (2017 at least)...

I'm not sure what the status is for M3's, but I was informed that BMW only painted one car per week world-wide in FO even before they started cancelling orders at the Munich plant. Apparently its a pretty demanding two-step process...

Nate@IND · 04-27-2017, 09:53 AM

Back at iND for round 2

Powerbeast · 05-09-2017, 01:43 PM

Proper as per usual.
