What’s going on guys? Take a good look at the head rest below from a new BMW M3. Tiger power!
No, this isn’t a joke. For us, we get an understated nine thousand dollar special paint job. China gets a crazy orange M3 Tiger Edition with headrests pulled from the blankets being sold at the local Flea Market.
Seriously, this is not a joke. In fact, BMW’s confirmed it’s real and shared specs. The Tiger theme is to celebrate the “Year of the Tiger?” Here’s what you get for a little more yuan:
Hmm, I don’t know about you guys but that orange paintjob actually looks pretty cool. Check it out below. The headrests? Well, we can always change those.
Yep, that’s right. It is what you think that is. A BMW Z4 Coupe made out of stone, just hanging out on the street in Beijing, China.
You know what’s also cool about the car? It has a full interior as well. Check out the detail on the steering wheel and center console.
I wonder what it is made of exactly? Is that real brick-and-mortar work, or is it just cement made to look like something else? Could be styrofoam for all I know I guess.
Does it drive? Probably not, but then again, the Chinese are pretty damn ingenious people. All I know is, better have your afer life insurance policy paid up.
And how did they do the windows?!?
For our French readers:
Salut les gars, examiner ce Bimmer !
Ouais, cela a raison. C’est que vous pensez que cela est. Un BMW Z4 Coupe a fait de la pierre, traînant juste sur la rue à Pékin, Chine.
Vous savez quel est aussi frais de la voiture ? Il a un intérieur plein aussi. Examiner le détail sur le volant de direction et la console centrale.
Je me demande qu’il est fait d’exactement ? Cette vraie brique est-elle-et-le travail de mortier, ou est cimente a fait l’avoir juste l’air de quelque chose d’autre ? Pourrait être du polystyrène pour autant que je sache je devine.
Conduit-il ? Probablement pas, mais d’autre part, le Chinois est des gens ingénieux assez fichus. Tout ce que je sais c’est, mieux a votre afer La politique d’assurance-vie a payé.
What’s going on guys? So, I’m loving the V8 power I’m getting from the twin turbo six in the 335i. The Remus exhaust howls. The rims are bad ass. I haven’t seen anyone else with them. But I want to give the car a more aggressive look. Instead of wasting my time with all those junkie bodykits, I decided to do a M3 conversion; quarter panels and all.
Here are some pictures of what the car looks like into Day 2:
All 335i panels were striped off. No fenders, no roof, and no bumpers. Need to have that carbon fiber roof to look genuine. Love that Remus sticking out.
The rear wheel wells have to be replaced but we are going to try to reuse the ones in front. M3 mirrors will also be swapped in for the 335i ones.
The bottom of the quarter panels have been cut to receive the wider M3 ones. They will be welded together.
What’s up guys? With an all new BMW Z4 for 2010, the guys over at Remus decided to put their all new exhaust design on the new roadster. They call it the new StreetRace Double tail pipe Ø 2.99″. Check it out in detail below.
The rear silencer with two tail pipes Ø 84 mm Street Race system fits both the Cabrio sDrive 30i 3.0l as well as the 25i 2.5l.
What’s up guys? I just want to let you guys know that we have the Remus HyperCone for the all new BMW S1000rr in stock. Looks like an awesome exhaust system for an awesome motorcycle!
The HyperCone comes in a Stainless Steel sleeve or a titanium one: your choice.
Hi guys, I’m here today for an update on our 2005 BMW Z4 3.0. The car currently has 37,000 miles on it and the brake pad light came on the other day. Thinking that it was a great time to upgrade with some aftermarket stuff, I hit the forums in search of some cool products.
The result? I ended up forking out uber dinero for genuine BMW rotors, sensors, and brake pads. Why? It’s a daily freeway driver, and it’s better to be safe than take a chance on some unknown company aftermarket products. You can see the new system in the picture below. Sorry for the dirty rim…
I’m sure you guys know how to bed or break in a new system but here are some quick steps for those who don’t know:
Step 1: Go to a smooth, flat road with no traffic.
Step 2: Accelerate to 30mph.
Step 3: Firmly step on the brakes and allow the vehicle to stop. DO NOT allow the brakes to lock.
Step 4: Repeat steps 2 and 3 until you have completed about 20 stops. Allow cooling periods between stops to bed the brakes properly.
What’s up guys? So now that we have exhausts installed on most our staff cars, and growling like ferocious beasts I might add, we are looking into some engine tuning options. After scouring the online forums and stores, I came upon some interesting options to up car performance.
To increase automotive performance and fuel economy, the popular option nowadays is a performance chip. It’s a good idea too, to install an engine chip. It will probably be able to smooth out any choppiness that the Remus exhausts may have added. First up is probably our Z4s. In terms of general fuel economy, they both have the worst MPG. And we have a sneaky suspicion that the performance products we have added did gain more horsepower, but lowered fuel economy.
The 335i has been tuned like crazy across the Bimmer forums. Companies like Vishnu, Dinan, and JB2 have been fighting for the top spot. There are more options for the Z4s, like Ac Schnitzer, Hartge, and Hamman. The Nissan has more options. Check them out at Engine Performance Chip.
Hey guys, here it is as promised. This is a quick video clip of how the new exhausts sound on the 335i. As you can see, the cut on the bumper is a bit rough, but nothing a new lip or kit wouldn’t hide. Check it out!
It’s starting to get deeper in the cabin, but nothing too extreme. The stock exhaust sound was great already but now it sounds like it’s going to hunt and eat M3s for lunch!
What’s going on guys? It’s been a while since we made a modification on the 335i. So, today, we installed a quad exhaust from Remus. Check it out.
Installation was a bit more complicated than most. The reason being the cutting of the rear bumper to accommodate the extra pair of exhaust tips. Since the 335i is bound to be modded some more, we used a simple saw-saw to cut the bumper. We then smoothed out the edges with a heavy duty file. Not too shabby right?
What’s up guys? Here is a quick picture of Frank installing the Remus Exhaust system on my M Roadster. You can see the difference immediately between the stock system and the Remus.
The weight savings are incredible. I would guess 25 pounds lighter, each side!
Alright guys, stay tuned for video clips of the new system! Be sure to check out our online store up top!
