The 2005 BMW M3 Competition (E46), customized by 2M Autowerks in California, showcases an impressive aesthetic and engineering prowess. Its exterior features a factory color finish and significant body modifications, including a full 2X weave carbon fiber hood from Varis Japan and front fenders from Carbonia, complemented by a custom front bumper and chin spoiler. The trunk also features exposed carbon fiber. Inside, the car boasts white racing buckets, with Recarro seats planned, and ID4MOTION instrumentation that enhances its sporty feel.

Underneath, the subframe has been reinforced, and a sophisticated suspension system utilizes Olin components. The striking Team Schirmer Spec 88 wheels from BBS, measuring 10 x 18 inches with Michelin Pilot Sport tires, add to its aggressive stance. Powering this beast is an S85 V10 engine sourced from an E60 BMW M5, producing approximately 507 horsepower. The vehicle utilizes a manual 6-speed gearbox from a scavenged V8 E60 M5 and has been strategically positioned lower and further back in the chassis for optimal weight distribution and improved ride quality. Handcrafted hydraulic engine and transmission mounts ensure stability. A custom exhaust system, featuring a true x-pipe and Valvetronic mufflers, delivers an exciting F1-style sound. This beautiful and powerful BMW M3 Competition is set to turn heads on the street.
