Dyno Night!

europeanautosource — Wed, 22 Jun 2011 16:46:24 +0000

We held our first dyno night last Friday and it was a blast! We dynoed 16 cars ranging from a 135, several supercharged M3s, a Mustang and even a Lamborghini. Thanks to Hann from STM Advanced Window Film Solutions for the photos. Be sure to join us next time for food, fun and of course, dynos!

Black E46 M3 with Magnesium Blue Volk CE28s

europeanautosource — Tue, 14 Jun 2011 21:03:00 +0000

The owner of this clean M3 has a little bit of a hard time making his mind up. In the past month alone this car has been through three different sets of wheels! We’re hoping that he sticks with these Magnesium Blue Volk CE28s for a little while. The aggressive stance and unique color combo really makes this M3 pop.

Black F01 750i

The owner of this brand new 750i came to us yesterday to have our popular DVDinMotion coding done. Being able to watch DVDs on long drives is a necessary feature in a car that is built exclusively for comfort and amenities. While the car was here, we had to snap a few shots to show off how clean and a brand new 7-series really is.

E46 M3 Aurora Installation

europeanautosource — Thu, 02 Jun 2011 17:46:24 +0000

For new BMW models angel eyes are standard factory equipment, allowing for anyone to easily recognize a BMW during the night or day. Sadly for previous model BMWs, angel eyes were never even offered as a factory option. One of the most popular modifications we sell for the e46 M3 is our Aurora LED Angel Eye Kit. This complete kit instantly gives an older e46 3-series a modern look and makes the car seem much newer. Yesterday we installed one of these kits on a super clean Carbon Black M3 and snapped some photos to show you how good they can make a car look.

VMR V713s on a 335i

Thanks goes out to our customer Ian who sent us these beautiful pictures of his Alpine White 335i LCI Sedan with a set of silver 19″ VMR V713s installed. The VMR Wheels line-up never fails to impress when they are mounted on a clean BMW; for anyone on a budget these wheels are the best choice on the market.

Detailed AE Performance M3 Exhaust Photos

Last week a clean Jerez Black M3 sedan came to our shop to have the AE Performance exhaust installed. For the money this exhaust sounds great, looks awesome and saves a good chunk of weight. Check out these close-ups (click to zoom) to get a feel for the high quality craftsmanship.

2011 BMW M3 Modded (Brembo, Akra, AiB, B&G, RE, Challenge)

europeanautosource — Tue, 24 May 2011 18:14:28 +0000

The first time Charles came to our facility, his mostly stock Alpine White M3 ZCP got some essential mods installed: AIB 3.0 High Powered LED Angel Eye system, Macht Schnell Spacers and a Rogue Engineering Octane Short Shift Kit. Combined with an Akrapovic Evolution full titanium exhaust (complete with custom powdercoated tips) these mods instantly made his M3 more modern, aggressive and better to drive. Here are some pictures from that visit:

Soon enough the mod bug was back. This time around Charles focused on some more performance oriented modifications: A set of B&G Lowering Springs, Brembo GT 380mm, 6-piston front calipers & 4-piston rear calipers, and a Challenge Race+ X-Pipe to get rid of every cat and resonator.

Now this car looks, sounds and performs like a proper beast. Check out these video clips to hear the exhaust and see a dyno run.

Black and White F10s

Last week we had two beautifully modded F10 535i’s come through our shop. Once these cars are lowered on some nice wheels, the F10 5-series is easily transformed into a sportier and more aggressive sedan. Check out these pics and see for yourself just how good the new 5-series can look!

Bimmerfest 2011 Photos & Video

europeanautosource — Wed, 18 May 2011 19:05:34 +0000

Last Saturday we attended Bimmerfest at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena and witnessed one of the largest BMW enthusiast gatherings around. While there we took plenty of photos, so even if you couldn’t make it out this year you can still get a good idea of the event. As a bonus, all of these photos are available in 2560×1600 wallpaper resolution! There are a lot of cool BMWs in here that are definitely worth checking out.
