Talking IND | Our G87's Nod to the E36 M3 GT



Anyone who has seen our G87 M2's progress of late has seen the complete Alpha-N aero package that includes both a front lip/splitter combo and a fixed rear wing reminiscent of the E36 M3 GT and Lightweight cars. We decided we'd try to complete the look with a new set of HRE 528 wheels. What's particularly intriguing is how HRE incorporated design cues reminiscent of the iconic E36 M3 M Double Spoke II wheels, paying homage to BMW's rich heritage which suited our goals perfectly.

And because we wanted to continue the aggressive nature of the build, we opted for 19x10.5 wheels all around with 305/30R19 Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 rubber. The nod to the E36 M3 design cues has brought a fun touch of classic BMW styling to the modern era and we're excited to share a few photos.
