Project Blue Deluge: iND BMW F10 M5 In Yas Marina Blue

iND BMW F10 M5 comes in exquisite Yas Marina Blue exterior paint scheme and we must say it looks incredibly beautiful! IND made its own initial testing of the M5. The tests proved that this car is an incredibly competent track monster, and at the same time docile and polite street car. The staff at IND re-tooled the M5 project to what it is today: a street-driven, turn key test bed for all of the best components available for the F10 M5.

They have kept many of the original components: AMS downpipes, the larger AMS-built turbos, the KW 3 way adjustable ClubSport coilovers. One of the changes made include a raise in the height of the car for a more easy to use ground clearance.

In addition, they have reinstalled the original BMW interior and have removed the roll bar. After that, the tuners repainted the car in BMW’s amazing Yas Marina Blue finish. This led to the removal of this BMW’s racing livery inspired design.

What is more, this version of IND’s M5 also includes additions such as an RKP front lip and rear diffuser. This project is called Blue Deluge and is still in development. It aims to delivers what M5 is best at – a perfect performance at the race track on Saturday, while still taking the owner to the office on Monday.

Frozen Black Edition BMW E92 M3 by iND

Two years ago, BMW introduced a very special model. In fact, it was so special that its production was limited up to 20 units, and as some of you might have figured it out – this was the 2011 BMW E92 M3 Frozen Black Edition. The model was distributed only throughout the U.S. market.

Now year is 2013 and the tuners at iND has got the luck to enhance the powerful Frozen Black M3. The standard specifications of this BMW include matte black exterior with gloss black accents, red calipers and 19” GTS alloy wheels.

On the other hand, the standard features in the interior include Novillo leather upholstery, red contrast stitching, carbon fiber trim with leather accents, heated front seats and premium audio system.

The powertrain under the hood of the car is the 4.0 liter naturally aspirated hi-revving V8, which is capable of producing 420 horsepower (309 kW) and 400 Nm (295 lb-ft) of torque. The unit is coupled to M Double Clutch Transmission (M-DCT), thus an effortless acceleration is ensured. To be more precise, the vehicle accelerates from standstill to 100 km/h in 4.5 seconds and has a top speed of 250 km/h (155 mph).

The tuners at iND had the strength to make even better this exclusive model by adding some sophisticated features. First of all, they have taken care for the wheels of the car, which now are the HRE P43SC E9x M3 Satin Black Wheels that come in sizes 19×9.5” at the front and 19×10.5 at the rear.

They have also included Akrapovic EVO with carbon tips, ESS Direct flash and Vorsteiner’s Type II carbon diffuser. The ground control is ensured by E9x M3 camber plates. At the front three were added euro front bumper painted Frozen black, carbon front grilles. The same material can be seen at the side grilles which in addition feature Dark LEDs.

What is left to mention here is the special iND Frozen black key hole cover, the included Macht Schnell 75mm Stud Kit and black chrome Project Kics R40, the RKP GTS front lip in Gloss carbon and the premium BMWPedals.

IND BMW E92 M3 and F10 M5

The specialists from IND have transformed recently not one but two BMW models, and probably inspired by the book “50 Shades Of Grey” have made them in distinctive and outstanding exterior color.

The first model that needed to be changed was the E92 M3 one and although the owner wished initially only for some small improvements, the car eventually ended up with new grey-silverfish exterior color and unique combination of wheels.

Here the M3, was equipped with the Lamborghini Rosso Vik BBS FI wheels and ESS Supercharger manifold, which made the perfect contrast with the new skin of the E92. Inspired by the great results they have achieved, the IND professionals continued the same tuning philosophy on the BMW F10 M5.

Despite that this one took more introverted approach, they have given it unique modified appearance. Here the combination is achieved with Eisenmann exhaust and 3D Design aero parts, and custom painted HRE wheels are the center piece of the car.

Firstly, HRE’s matte bronze finish was chosen as a base; then was applied a real gold leaf insert inside the HRE logo found in the spoke of each wheel, along with the HRE center cap. The last step was to utilize the custom clear coat to allow the original matte bronze finish to truly shine.

3D Design BMW F10 M5 offers more aerodynamism

3D Design BMW F10 M5 is a vehicle which will definitely grab the attention of anyone who’s into tuning. As exceptional as BMW, this car now can show off some really cool style.

This is happening thanks to the outstanding work of the professionals from 3D Design. They have managed to embellish the boisterous E39 M5 model of the German brand.

In details, the 3D Design program for the F10 M5 includes wide range of carbon fiber aerodynamic accessories which feature front lip, low splitters, side skirts, rear diffuser, and trunk spoiler. Additionally, there is also a roof spoiler from the existing F10 line available.

Furthermore, there is additional work to be done in terms of aerodynamic improvements. In facts, 3D Design will have their trademark exhaust system created with their technology partner Arqray.

In details, the exhaust will be made of stainless steel with quad 100mm tips. Of course, this will delivers aggressiveness that perfectly matches this tuning. The exhaust will be made available in both a JASMA spec as well as Export spec.

Moreover, the work on the car will include another partnership – this time with Ohlins, where both companies will collaborate to bring about full suspension components line and external reservoir race application.

What is more to add here is that the already great BMW interior will be further enhanced by 3D Designs trademark pedal set, floor mats, and a gauge pod for more serious applications.

IND Dakar Yellow BMW M3 E92

The IND Portfolio project – Dakar Yellow E92 M3 is a car that we cant miss in the fastlane, the reason is hiding (or screaming) in the admirable and different look of the car. The yellow color and the unique contrast between the components, the subtle competition inspired look, the special Brembo brakes set supplied directly from Brembo, the HRE wheels designed specifically for the Fall Line motorsport program plus all the little but significant things that IND add or tuned up, makes the car really special.
