…Ran by none other than TPS Performance’s M2 Competition.





TPS Performance had ran an impressive time of 7:22 in their non-Competition M2 – so they had to return with their modded M2 Comp. to attempt to beat it, and that they did.

Watch the video here:


The car features KW Competition 3-Way adjustable suspension, Michelin semi-slicks, a tune, and is pushing 520 horsepower. When going for a new record, ideally, the car’s setup, the conditions, and the driver’s knowledge of the track are all in-line. While the car and the driver, Alex Hardt, had two of these three things covered, the weather was a different story.





Alex claimed the day of this run was the hottest he had ever experienced on the track, with an ambient temperature of 98°F/36°C. Fitted with CSF’s 3-piece cooling package, the car’s IATs were kept in check and heat soak wasn’t an issue – allowing for consistent power delivery throughout the entire run, and helping the TPS Performance team to their new lap record of 7:12.

Very Cool to see that unlimited budget can get you a real performer.

What does the Apex M3 do?

So about 10K for suspension set up, plus wheels and tires 10-13K, hood 3-9K, rear spoiler 4K, rear trunk in CF ?3-4K tune 600, cooling, intake, radiator and tranny (3-4K), likely Tom Schirmer door cards (4K) Racing seats (5-7K) Front splitter (1-2K) Exhaust titanium (akra 3-7K) Cage 3-5K

Correct me if I am wrong but well over 55 K in mods.

very Impressive that it did not have much understeer, very decent set up. Driver was very good too.

What is funny is the dudes that polish our their CSF charge coolers and their cars just see the detailing bay, camera flash, let alone the road or track. Dare I say seldom 7K RPM but only for IG. LOL

Very decent run - still feel an equally prepared M4 would do way better.
