This client is easily one of our favorites. Incredibly kind and soft spoken, yet open to the unconventional when it comes to his cars. Not only was one of his vehicles the very first of our builds, the M2 now adds to his long list of projects with IND dating back nearly 10 years!

Here are just a few of his previous builds with us, some of which you may be familiar.










We weren't sure what direction to take with this one, and ultimately decided to draw inspiration from his former 1M project.

Even with only 40 miles on the odometer, we decided that the first to go was the OE steel roof, replaced by the RKP carbon roof panel. Next from RKP was the new carbon GP upper lip and lower splitter inspired by the BMW M2 MotoGP series safety car. 3D Design Japan's carbon side skirts draw the eyes from the fron down the side and back to the 3D Design Japan carbon diffuser, completing the first round of carbon accessories.

With the factory hood now appearing a bit too ordinary by comparison to the rest of the vehicle, we decided to outfit the M2 with a full carbon fiber hood from Motorsport24, rounding off the front end of the vehicle. The power dome on the hood nicely mirrors the channels molded into the RKP roof, providing a much more assertive appearance over stock. At the rear of the vehicle, the BMW M235R racing trunk lid nicely accommodates the RKP M4 GTS trunk spoiler.

Under the hood, the M2 now has the Eventuri carbon fiber air intake system and the Eventuri carbon fiber M2 specific engine cover. The intake significantly improves air delivery over the stock counterpart, and provides a pleasantly pronounced induction noise under acceleration.

Eisenmann's full exhaust (centerpipe and rear muffler) were fitted to make the car sound as it should have from factory. Optional carbon fiber and gold plated tips compliment the other carbon components in matching 2x2 weave.

KW's height adjustable sleeve kit offers some flexibility in ride height, often necessary here in the midwest. The springs are perfectly suited for use with the OE dampers, tightening up body roll on turns without adding any harshness.

Amongst the major modifications, we were sure not to forget our signature cosmetics on the exterior of the M2. Painted grilles, reflectors, and trunk emblem.

We're admittedly a bit surprised at how much we like the completed build now as many components were not planned for from the beginning. Hopefully our client is as thrilled as we are.

Hmm the gold exhaust tips really work with the orange accents around the car.

[Orange fever]

The rear diffuser / exhaust pipe section looks so sharp. Well done on the entire car!

We didn't mention the 763Ms as the client was able to configure his M2 with them from factory.

Great. I already felt bad I didn't order an MG M2 and now here is the exact color combo I would have preferred.

That being said, please PM me about that Motorsport24 hood I bet it would look great in AW!

I want to like it but honestly I can't say I'm a fan. All the carbon and orange accenting and the rear wing and vented hood make it seem very over the top but then skimping out and just painting the brakes instead of doing a BBK and doing HAS instead of full coils makes it feel like it's all show and no go. I like doing everything evenly so the car looks as fast as it performs. This feels very unbalanced to me in that sense.

Everyone has varying preferences and needs.

For this client it's mostly aesthetic. He has no plans to track the car so the stock brakes and stock dampers are more than sufficient. To him, the M2 is perfect, and that's what matters most to us.

Love that customer centric attitude.

I love the way that car turned out.

I even like the orange brakes.

Not at all really, approximately 0.5" all around and plenty of room to go as the max setting for the KW HAS kit is about 1.2". The RKP lip makes it look much lower than it is.

Wow. I'm getting the same springs and was thinking of going 1" all around.
Got any other clients with the same drop?

We sure do, PM sent!

Nice to see a tastefully modified M2 (BMW in general), without having to have a wide-body on top of a factory wide bodied car and some hilariously stupid offset and corresponding wheel set.

Well done IND, another stunning build to add to the books!
