WE HAVE STARTED DEVELOPMENT OF AN EXHAUST FOR THE G82-M4. TWO PRODUCTS ARE PLANNED: A DOWNPIPE AND A POST-DOWNPIPE TO FINISHER. THIS IS AN EXHAUST WITH EXCELLENT PERFORMANCE SUITABLE FOR TUNING ENGINES. THE MATERIAL IS STAINLESS STEEL, AND WE ARE AIMING FOR THE SAME PRICE RANGE AS THE EXHAUST FOR THE F82-M4, SO PLEASE LOOK FORWARD TO IT!

WE STARTED DEVELOPMENT OF AERO PARTS FOR G82 M4. FIRST, WE USED A 3D SCANNER TO MEASURE THE BODY SHAPE IN ORDER TO DESIGN IT DIGITALLY. ROUGH SKETCHES OF THE FRONT SPOILER WERE MADE AND WE DECIDED TO CREATE A MODERN STYLE TO MATCH THE BMW BUMPER DESIGN. BY THE TIME THE PRODUCT IS LAUNCHED, THE IMAGES WILL BE AVAILABLE IN 3D DATA. THE UNDERPANEL WILL BE SHAPED FOR DOWNFORCE FOR MOTORSPORTS.

THE PROTO MODEL IS NOW COMPLETE. THE STYLE IS LARGELY COMPLETE, BUT WE WILL START PRODUCTION ONCE THE DETAILS HAVE BEEN CORRECTED. THIS PRODUCT WILL BE AVAILABLE ONLY IN WET CARBON. IT CONSISTS OF TWO SECTIONS, UPPER AND LOWER. THE UPPER SECTION REPLACES THE FACTORY REAR BUMPER COVER. THE LOWER SECTION IS SUSPENDED AND THE FRONT END EXTENDS TO THE CANISTER COVER FOR DOWNFORCE, AND THE SIDE PANELS GO AROUND THE OUTSIDE OF THE BUMPER TO BALANCE THE VOLUME OF THE GT WING. SCHEDULED TO BE AVAILABLE FROM JANUARY TO FEBRUARY 2023!

WE HAVE MADE A DRY CARBON ENGINE HOOD PROTOTYPE FOR E46-M3. IT WEIGHS 4.7KG AND HAS A FRAME TO ENSURE SUFFICIENT STRENGTH. THE CENTER DUCT IS ARRANGED TO EXHAUST HOT AIR PASSING THROUGH THE RADIATOR, AND THE SIDE GRILLES EXHAUST HOT AIR FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT FOR COOLING. THE DUCT SHAPE RAISED FROM THE SURFACE OF THE ENGINE HOOD GENERATES AN OVERFLOW AND IMPROVES THE EXHAUST EFFECT.  

We are developing engine hood and trunk lid for E46-M3 in dry carbon. The dry carbon is designed to be lightweight. Lightweighting provides various benefits, such as improving braking and cornering limit performance, starting with improved accelerator pedal response, which is the joy of the S54/NA engine. Safety is also an important factor, and a framework is provided on the back side to provide sufficient strength performance. The engine hood will be available in stock form as well as in a ducted version. The trunk lid is in the stock CSL shape.
