In late fall we purchased a well specced BMW F80 M3. We were drawn to the car by its ultra rare colour (Verde Mantis) and the endless possibilities BMW\u2019s provide.<\/span>
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Over the winter months we contacted the companies we work with and leading brands in the BMW aftermarket industry. With the help of our sponsors we wanted to make this M3 even more unique than its colour.<\/span><\/p>\n

Stay tuned to our blog for<\/span> a detailed look at what we did in the future but for now here’s some pics of the amazing products and vehicle.<\/span><\/p>\n
