What if you had the opportunity to build the car you always wanted? For some people it would take years to eventually get a car to a certain standard. But there are also a few that are fortunate enough to have their car built to perfection in only a few months. One of these people is Martin who had driven various high powered vehicles before this BMW M3. Now it was time to personalize his car. He wanted a car that he could have fun in and use on trackdays but it also needed to be drivable on the streets.
This is where IND Distribution comes in. After a few phone calls Martin knew he had found the garage that was able to build his dream car.
This car has a very JDM vibe to it, at least to me. Not sure if it was intentional but the red Volk wheels and the Varis spoiler are a dead giveaway.
I just love this angle, although I have a soft spot for rear ends.
The exhaust gasses are expelled through a Kreissieg valve actuated system. The name sounds German but it's a Japanese brand.
The impressive tips of the exhaust peek through a carbon Varis diffusor that has been mated with the rear bumper.
These Volk TE37 wheels are a perfect match for this JDM inspired ride. The wheels are 18×9.5 +22 in the front and 18×10.5 +22 at the back and are wrapped with 275/35/18 and 315/30/18 Falken RT615K tires respectively. Behind the wheels are a set of Brembo GT-R brakes and slotted rotors.
The supercharger on the right is made by ESS tuning that adds even more power to the already potent V8. Other enhancements are purely cosmetic like the custom painted intake manifold.
More Japanese influences can be found inside the interior. The Bride Gias seats take center stage together with the Nardi steering wheel. Behind the seats you can see the red rollcage that has been painted in the same Porsche Guard Red as the wheels.
Handling starts with new suspension parts so IND turned to KW and they provided their Clubsport Coilovers. So despite the drop it still handles great both on the track and on the street.
This looks to me the best of both worlds, menacing on the streets and powerful enough to attack any circuit nearby.

IND Distribution, you can see a lot more photo's on the M3Post forum.

Wing Spoiler is too high...
My god that cars AWESOME!!!!
@Reyhan Firdaus - You trippin'. That's acceptable JDM height (not to mention - HAWT)
Very good job!!
This car looks awesome!!! Grey and Red! nice
The wing is also not my favourite, but the rest is awsome!
absolutely sick M3 with a proper sized tire on it. This is a beautiful blend of form and function!!! LOL at the guy who said the spoiler is too high. Not everyone is in it for looks.
Wallpaper of the first image, please. This E92 is a thing of beauty.
Lucky you don't own it then Bacara:P
LOL at the wing too high comment. the wing might actually not even be high enough. i've read that to be most effective, it should be above the roof, to catch the most 'fresh' air. but not quite sure.
big cohones to do to M3, i love it
This car is so awesome, my head just exploded! It's just perfect! And I also think that for optimal effectiveness a wing has to be (at least) in line with the roof.
im not in love with the win g but i feel that if it wasnt there it would ruin the charictor of the car so it all comes together to form a very sick M3
WALLPAPER PLEASE
CLEAN!! props to your ride! xD are thos TE37's custom powered coated??
NC Raise up!
Nicest M3 I have ever seen! Exterior is killer and the interior is just such a great match. Nice plates too!
Yes, Martin! Getting the love it deserves! Let's see his GT3 and Cube too
Same spoiler as on my Evo X.

Haha! Liking the avatar chick on the valve cover!! Red nerps ftw.
please wallpaper the first picture
falken azenis? he must not track this car ever....HARDPARKER!!!
Staggering!
This is just the perfect combination of car and parts
hawt oO i´m in love!
everything is great except for those shit tires
awesome as always from IND
i love it, probably wouldnt beat that tall spoiler but then it might be necessary due to how many ponies this baby is pushing and since I dont know that, i am not sure on it. sweet ride though
Wow!!! That's all I can say on this beautiful machine. Is a love + want situation here!
Desktop of the Volk TE37 wrapped with 615s......PLEASE!
I don't really like the red wheels on the grey car.
Wheels, yes.
Spoiler, no. Not big enough, needs to be longer, more contoured (like a modern GT car) and a little wider.
Centrifugal supercharger, no. Stop being a wuss and turbo it.
I like this car a lot. It does look it just came out of a shop from Japan
Nice, that ain't half bad!
Nicely executed. A refreshing change from the usual BMW efforts.
that car is pure sex! please throw a couple wallpapers up!!!
Looks awesome and I love the car!
Not that this should take away from the car, but they have gone to all the length of putting in a half roll cage to the rear turrets, and then kept the rear seats? Seems a bit weird to me personally.
Food for cops
That is pure sex.
amazing!
Last Picture as Wallpaper would be soooooooooo nice! ;D
I have saw this M3 in another blog yesterday. It is absolutely PERFECT!
The lines, the simple details....the only thing i would done different is the engine, this V8 "needs" to be NA, maybe with ITB? =)
JDM FTW!
Makes the M3 look like a Genesis.
Desktop on the first and the third picture please !
OMG.. I want this M3 so bad..
man that is one hot M3, love it
big cohones to do to a Brand New M3, but i love it
Hey Guteman, Jeroen posted a link to a forum with lots of pictures of the car, and in higher resolution.
looks great, love the colour choice on wheels really works with the stock grey. spoilers cool needs some cool styling though. that one bright blue spot on the engine really stands out.
Im a fan of this car. not huge on the red but Id rock it in a second.
That's not SnP, but that's what I call Stance! Friggin' sweet!
The car would be that much more intense if it had Advan Tires, Endless MONO 6 calipers and a Voltex wing.
Sooooooo fresh. Desktop 1, 2, 3, and the interior shot please!
This is a beauty car. 10/10 in my books.
Wenn ich die Hebebühnen im Hintergrund sehe werde ich schon neidisch,aber dieser M3 ist der Hammer.
Awesome car, tidy upgrades all round. I really like the wing, it looks a damn sight better than the apologetic half assed affair that ended up on the back of the M3 GTS.
I would rather have this other BMW's suprisingly dissapointing GTS. This has a proper rear wing, not that tiny pussy piece of carboard.
My God... a M3 on TE-37s? RED TE-37S? It's... it's... GLORIOUS.
This is.. the example of a perfect build. Aggressive just by definition and enhancement of basic lines. Beautiful.
Never thought I'd love a car with a wing this big! This thing is fantastic. Too bad trading the corrado won't get me an M3
now thats a euro!
OMG that wing makes me cry... Perfect ride height BTW
look like a time attack street car but the wing is to small at that hight need a bigger and wider wing then its perfect
Sweet JDM style
Loving this BMW!!! First pic and Interior shot wallpaper please!!! Thanks!!!
Great looking M3. Like how they put the wing up where it will actually create some downforce.
This car is awesome. Love the style, loud without being gaudy.
6 foto on desktop please!!!!
@Andrew: What blue lady on the valve cover? I see one on the carbon intake canister but not on the valve covers.
Sweet conversion. I'm diggin the tires... I've never seen big letter Azenis RT-615's yet so where can I buy some or are these custom painted?
There's 3 reasons why the wing could be that high.
1) For optimal downforce and performance (yeah right)
2) For safety due to increased rear vision
3) to look absolutely friggin baller!!
This ride is beyond engineering its REVERSE engineering!
Too awesome! The Guards Red TE37's suit it to a tee. This truly adds toughness to an M3 that is somewhat lacking in this department compared with it's predecessor. Would love a wallpaper of the 6th photo.
nice,except for the wing
Nice execution, but the spoiler is not higher enough, rice
If i heard "JDM M3", Amuse M3 & this who popped in my head
http://fc05.deviantart.net/fs36/f/2008/259/8/1/BMW_M3_Time_Attack_by_GermanRS.jpg
Nasty! I would lose the spoiler though.
FUCKING SICKNESS!
This car is...ugly. JDM themed Euro cars can be nice but, that wing is hideous, as are the colour of the wheels and the tire markings. The wing is probably as large as the GT2 car wing, on a stock body M3...
These poser wannabe race cars with stamped tires, big wings and flashy coloured wheels just want attention.
Not contemplating any cornering judging by how low that car is. First hint of a corner and it will rub itself stupid.
Poser.
I can easily give away my family, my girlfriend and shot to someone if needed... just to have this beauty... sick car Martin!
And LOL @ Fred! ^^
Desktop PLZ!!!!
WALLPAPER pleas? of the first and sixsth photo
Deep down inside, everybody likes big wings- but 90% of the world are brainless cowards who listen to haters- and trends.
Go forth, brave soul.
Wow! All kinds of WIN! Very nicely done
Not sure I would say it looks JDM. I can see how someone would say that but it's too restrained to be called akin to it. I like it a lot, although the spoiler is a bit too high for my taste.
Love it! My only gripe - JDM inspired with a NASCAR plate? ...uh...ok...
@Leo - the s65 out of the E92 M3 already has ITB's... No need to add them
@Henry(2) - The ESS centrifugal blower on that M3 makes close to 650HP - not exactly chump change and just about perfect for the track...
That car is AWESOME
and the wing is just perfect !!
OMG dESktop pleeeazzz!!!!!11!!one eleven
it's so JDM and I like to be in the bandwag00nn, so i say jay dee emmm for no reason!!!11
Just click on the goddamn link. http://www.m3post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=477317
WOW its january and I think you already have a COTY
dope !
Best bmw style i have ever seen, this is the style i want. Love it.
Love this combo!! Grey and Red just look great together 'a la GT3 RS' !
Well executed car, wish there was material like the above to document around here!
yoooooo that thing is serious yaaanooo!!! desktop of the red te37's wrapped in falken rubber please!!!
and yes i think that the wing dosnt suit the style of that car
cant wait to shoot this car. it is going to be epic
That thing is a piece of art.
ohhhhh shiiitt thats a nice car
got to love it !
^^ This^ ^
The wing makes me think track car until I see the drop, seats and halfassed cage. Not my car, who cares.
I highly doubt that "at the first hint if a corner it will rub itself stupid," or that this is a "wannabe race car." This is something that can still be streetable - but as the excerpt says - it was built for track days. IND Distributions is basically Eissenmann North America and I higly doubt the car is set up anything less than perfect for the track.
I just wish it didnt have that erectorset wing and red rims. Looks clean otherwise.
Nicely Done!
What the GTS should have looked like...Wing is badass!
O la Vache !!!! mwen pa gen bouch pou pale. Kile pou woule yon konsa en Haiti
talk about BLING!!! WOW!
That shit is gangsta
Makes the GTS look bland. lol.
What a nice car!
Ohhhhh shit I think I just found my new favorite E92,everything about the look of this car is amazing!
I LOVE THIS CAR!!!
Great to see both of our cars on Speedhunters in the same week!!! (Red Wheels FTW!)
Mine...

i like the wing although i think it sgould be mounted further towards the rear than it is
Very well done, although I would have skipped out on the supercharger... but overall, WOW!
WALLPAPERS!!!
clean and looks fast tooo
That is a very sexy car!
I got the opportunity to drive an 08 with a Dinan Stroker kit from Vancouver to Palm springs in 2009 and it was quite an experience. I'd be curious how the S/C compared to the stroker.
