E92 BMW M3 Gets Custom HRE Wheels and Agency Power Exhaust

We have continued to work away with this E92 BMW M3 car here at Vivid Racing. Our goal was to get 3 or 4 parts done on the vehicle and that is almost complete. We have a muffler back unit featuring the Agency Power Titanium Tips. We completed the center straight pipes which delete the resonators and cats, and we are finishing up the 3 piece pulley kit. In addition, we have a carbon fiber cold air intake in the works. Yes very busy!

This car was already lowered by us on some springs and we added to the touch this gloss charcoal HRE P43 wheels. The wheels are a 19x9 and 19x10.5 1 piece forged monoblocks. The front wheels weight about 21lbs and the rear about 24lbs. Very light and strong of course. Biggest difference with HRE monoblocks compared to the competition... they cut all their own forgings so they can have the exact spec to fit the cars they do. You will notice that their spoke design all the way flush to the outer rim is unique as well. To top off the wheel, we added a HAND done pinstripe to the wheel. Original we were doing paint match from the body, the silver was hard to see and almost looked like a giant ring of curb rash. So we put heads together and decided to do the BMW blue from the emblem. Different, but cool!

Id put the stock tips back on, but otherwise great! So how much for that set of rims with tires mounted, ready to go?

So whats the deal with the M3 exhausts? Is it really cut and weld replacements? The factory didn't put any flanges on it?

Sorry but IMO the blue pinstripe looks stupid-there's not enough BMW or ///M theme going on on the car for it to really work.

We made the exhaust a full replacement to the factory midpipe. So no cut and weld like other systems.

Customer loves the cars look and sound!

Thanks for the comments.

Wheels look nice, the tips might be a little too "JDM" for most M3 drivers

Actually that titanium tip look has been a HUGE success for the Agency Power M3 E46 exhausts. One of the best selling ones out there. Do a youtube search. Many other companies have something similar, Dixis, GruppeM, and a couple others. The look is not for everyone, but still popular.

oh ok...so there is a flange in the stock system that you can bolt up to? Why do you think the other tuners are choosing to go the cut-and-weld method?
