One of our best clients called me up one day and said he was interested in building a car he could have fun on the track with and drive it on the street. He previously had an E90 M3 and wanted to get back into another one but wanted something more sports car like. So we started looking for a M3 E92 Coupe. We ended finding a super clean white coupe with a carbon roof with just the basics in it. It was the perfect starting platform.



Upgrades include:

• Dinan intake
• Active Autowerke lightweight crankshaft pulley
• Active Autowerke software
• GMP customized exhaust
• Bilstein PSS10 coil-over suspension
• HRE Wheels wrapped in Michelin Pilot Sport tires for the street
• Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires on the stock wheels for the track
• Vorsteiner Carbon Fiber front spoiler (covered in matte-clear vinyl)
• Vorsteiner Carbon Fiber rear diffuser (covered in matte-clear vinyl)
• Autopower Industries Roll Bar (powdercoated white to match)
• Recaro Sportster CS seats on GMP custom brackets to allow electric adjustment
• Hardwired V1 Radar Detector
• Carbon Fiber look roundels front and rear
• Carbon Fiber steering wheel insert
• Matte-clear vinyl cover on OE carbon roof
• Matte-clear coat paint on carbon kidney grille trim

Factory Exhaust out





New Exhaust Powder Coated and Custom made Cat Delete Pipes





Little bit of trimming for the rear diffuser.










The system came off his old E90 M3 so the X Pipe was a little short.





Stainless Tig welding done in house.





To be continued tomorrow

nice build

 

Suspension Install

 

Seat Install, Recaro Sportster CS mounted to the factory BMW powered Sliders with custom 993 Porsche power seat switches, and correct resistors so that there are no air bag lights on the dash at all and all airbags will deploy as they were meant to in case of an accident except the ones in the factory seats of course.



Underneath the Recaro Sportster Seat with the BMW electric motor and lower frame



The donor BMW seat with the electric fore-aft adjustment motor removed

 

Assembling the brackets to adapt the power BMW seat frame to the Recaro seat designed to be manually adjusted









Test fitting one switch option we had (which we ended up replacing with a better switch)



Creating the mounting holes for the seat switches

 

 

Test fitting the switch (which was ultimately changed to a different design) before painting





We ordered replacement wiring harnesses from BMW rather than cutting up the harnesses in the M3 seats



Due to space constraints the wiring is all soldered to the switches



Working on the motor wiring



Testing functionality with a jump box

 

The wiring that was soldered to the switch is insulated with a liquid electrical insulation coating



Because we used OE replacement harnesses for the under-seat wiring the OE car-side harness is retained for a nice clean look.

 

The roll cage in for test fitment and marking where to drill mounting holes

 

looks great guys!!

 

Full shaved side markers for the front bumper.



Nice carbon Dinan intake, too bad ths engine bay is too compact to see the pulley!



Matte clear coated carbon grille trim





Angel eye upgrades



Matte clear covered OE carbon roof



Carbon steering wheel trim



20x9 20x10.5 HRE 790R's Satin Charcoal centers gloss charcoal inners and outers.



Cant see them from here but matte carbon side vents in the fenders.









The factory rear seat side panels were modified to fit with the cage.

 

take another look at the final pictures.

 

looking good

 

Thanks
