Eventuri Intake: Maximizing Airflow for Peak Performance
The Eventuri Intake is more than just a pretty face. Crafted from high-quality carbon fiber, this cold-air intake system optimizes airflow to the engine, ensuring a steady supply of cool, dense air. The precisely engineered carbon fiber intake ducts and conical filters reduce turbulence and boost airflow efficiency, resulting in increased power and immediate throttle response.

Vorsteiner GTE-352 Wheels: Weight Reduction for Enhanced Performance
The Vorsteiner GTE-352 wheels proudly display a clear influence of motorsport styling in their design. Inspired by the world of racing, these wheels exude a sense of speed, agility, and performance that immediately catches the eye.

I saw this car yesterday at a stoplight in Longwood and it was my first time seeing a G87 in the metal.

Like most BMW’s of the last 15 years or so they don’t picture well but in natural light they are much better. The color is also cool and really stands out.

Beautiful build - congrats to the whole team involved here.


Only minor gripe - the color of the wheels aren’t my thing with the light blue - feel they distract from the rest of the build too much, but I also know that my opinion is in the minority, since they are trending so hard rn.

I was hoping for some stock vs modded track times or even a image of the car on the track.

Agreed great build. But also agree the wheel color doesn't compliment ZB as much as it does other colors like BG. ZB needs black or silver imo. But it's great that there are options for all tastes!

Stance is nice if you have great roads I guess.

Stock height is great for bad roads? What’s the logic here?

Rides like stock, easy installation and goes pretty low. Exactly what we wanted for phase 1.

I would estimate 75% less dust, pads have more bite than stock.

Avaiable now:

https://precision-sport.com/products...8095551¤cy=USD

Don’t know how EBC compares, but I ran these on our G80 build over 30k miles and are a game changer due to significant less dust and no noise.

Thank you, stop by the shop sometime!

This is the corporate Akrapović livery and it’s on the car because we had just attending the dealer training and we unveiled this prototype G87 Akrapović at the event.

Car has no issues on any road surface as it’s most crazy low and the fitment is not crazy aggressive, I have no rub at full lock or etc…

Unless you’re driving into 5 inch potholes you’ll be fine.

Been driving low cars for 15 years and bad roads are an issue for all cars, not just lowered ones. Getting in and out of steep driveways, well that’s a different story.

That frontal shot of the car on the grass is The Business!!! The grass gives the illusion the car is low AF without the hokey/bullshit cambered wheels!

Yeah but that’s not how it works unfortunately. Any depression on the road makes the car hit the road. Roads here are generally good, but some fun roads are bumpy, and it’s less fun in a low car (have to drive slower to not damage the bottom). Plus, the bottom is plastic and breaks easily. Had to replace the bottom panels a few times.

Low looks good. It’s not as practical/fun.

I’m pretty sure you’ve misspelled the maker of the SSK. Should be Rogue Engineering, not Rouge.
