    So I know I'm 2 weeks late, but I left for Costa Rica for 10 days the day after Bimmerfest and I didn't have enough time to go through all my pictures and edit them. I also spent so much time talking to potential customers, on lookers and friends about all our cars that I didn't get pictures of a few of our cars...

    Either way, we had 13 cars in attendence, 9 of which were customer cars!

    My E30 M3 is still very much a work in progress, and not ready to necessarily show off, but it made it to Bimmerfest with the s54 installed. Unfortunately the motor needs new rockers arms/cam followers on the intake cam, so we had to pull the head. We didn't have time to finish the rear bumper, and the body work and paint is on hold till I get a track day or 2 in with the s54.

    Anyhow enough of my rant, and onto the pics!

    Part of our group - unfortunately we were split up when it came time to park.



    Matt's stanced 2002 (I absolutely love this car!)

    We did the suspension, exhaust and shifter on this car.







    Enrique's Mtech2 vert

    We will be turboing the m20 and putting filled & drilles 17" Style 5s shortly on this car.




    My s54 e30 M3

    As stated above, the car is far from finished, but it made it to the show.

    I misplaced my kidney grilles during the paint prep process, forgot to get another set before the show....




    Engine bay still needs to be cut and polished, but the whole car will be painted techno violet in the next couple of months.



    As stated above, the rear bumper IS NOT FINISHED.




    Henry's s52 GT35r turbo 325is

    Turbo kit and exhaust custom built by Castro Motorsport, tuned by Dan Miller from Miller Performance!





    Omar's s50 e30 m3

    A lot of the swap was redone by our shop, as there were running issues with the car from the get go. All suspension work performed by our shop as well. Car will be receiving an s54 after summer!

    Peter's Technoviolet M3

    We did all the suspension work on Peter's (m3maker) car, as well as the exhaust system. This car will be s54 swapped once we find Peter a motor!




    Adam's Black E36 M3

    No work done on Adam's car to date, but we will be turboing his s52 in the next few months.




    Peter + Adam

    Shots of other cars I felt like taking pictures of.

    Darrenforreal's turbo e34 (sorry for not getting more pics of it Darren )




    I'm secretly going to swap the interior from my touring, with Darren's, hopefully he wont notice....



    Darren is also sponsored by Team Hydrid Audio, and has one of the best sounding systems I've ever heard!!!



    My good friend Taylor's slammed e30. Taylor was my first true e30 friend when I got into the scene back in 2006!






    That's not what his GF told me...



    Taylor's friend's e34 touring. Unfortunately some idiot cut him off on the way to Bimmerfest...

    Love the wheels and euro plate on this thing!




    Brett's (mammothe30) clean, 5-lug swapped bronzit e30

    A few shots of other cars that I liked:

    My new favorite BMW - Dakar 1M!!!!

    I'd swap out the N54 with an s65, and swap the wheels out for some concave 18" APEX ARC-8s, with some meaty, sticky tires!





    This Z4's front end looks like a black panther, pretty sick.





    Clean white E92 M3, diggin' the red wheels and mirrors!




    APEX booth, nuff said





    Their new EC-7 wheel!





    On a 1M with some beefy track tires!



    That's it for now, I have a few more shots to go through tonight. Thanks for looking!
