Sometimes, when you've had a car for a few years, it's good to change things up. This 2004 M3 had been owned by its driver for a long while and has remained mostly stock for their ownership. Being a long-time EAS customer with multiple BMWs, this M3's owner decided that this classic beauty was in need of some upgrades. The factory seats at this point were looking tired and had worn-out bolsters. So in went a pair of Recaro Sportster CS Reclining Seats, breathing new life into the 15-year old interior. Despite being a more modern seat design, the Sportster CS didn't look out of place at all in the E46's cockpit.

Fitted with a large single piston caliper and drilled rotors, the E92 M3s braking capabilities were questioned when the car first came out, specifically because of the single piston caliper. Although large, driving enthusiasts found the brakes not very effective with extensive track time. The owner of this M3 decided it was time for an upgrade, choosing the StopTech BBK (Big Brake Kit). The chosen StopTech BBK features a front 6-piston and rear 4-piston caliper as well as slotted rotors and stainless steel brake lines.

This Titanium Silver 645Ci came to our facility for a brake upgrade. Having already been lowered on H&R coilovers and fitted with a set of 20" VMR V710 wheels, it was finally time to ditch the OEM brakes. Opting for a set of red StopTechs, we installed the 6-piston system in the front and the 4-piston system in the rear with slotted rotors all around. Not only will this new BBK offer dramatically better stopping power, but it looks absolutely fantastic on this sporty E63. Enjoy.

This Laguna Seca Blue M3 drove to us all the way from Northern California to get some major modifications. First items on the list for this E92 were the ESS VT2-625 intercooled supercharger system and the Macht Schnell race x-pipe, which rocketed this S65's power output from 347whp/259qtq to a beastly 535whp/359wtq! To slow down from the newly attainable speeds, we installed a StopTech big brake kit behind the 18" Volk Racing TE37SL wheels; 6-piston calipers in the front, 4-piston calipers in the rear. The Mode Carbon GT4 carbon fiber front lip spoiler, Vorsteiner carbon fiber trunk lid and a carbon fiber rear diffuser not only give this E92 an aggressive look, but they'll help add a bit of aerodynamic stability as well. Inside, we swapped the rear seats for a bolt-in roll cage, installed some gauges and a set of Pedal Haus aluminum pedals. Be sure to check out the full list of modifications below to get a complete idea of what this car is capable of on the street. Enjoy!

Most of our customers modify their cars in multiple stages, having us install one or two parts during each visit. Others, like the owner of this Frozen White wrapped E90 M3, want everything done in one fell swoop. So many components of this 2008 M3 have been replaced or upgraded that it's essentially a brand new car. It really did get the works.

Yesterday we installed a full StopTech ST big brake kit on a 335i. Having already been loaded with performance modifications such as an intake, tune, intercooler, downpipes, exhaust, coilovers, wheels, seats, lip, diffuser, side skirts, spoiler and a wide-body rear, it was finally time to ditch the stock brakes and upgrade to something a little bit more serious. Up in the front is the ST-60 6-piston caliper with a 355mm cross-drilled rotor; in the rear is the ST-40 4-piston caliper with a 345mm cross-drilled rotor. With these StopTech brakes at all four corners, this 335i now has the stopping power to match the performance of the car. More photos are to come.
