bobs619 · 02-07-2015, 01:56 AM

Very nicely done IND!

Congrats Pertplus . Your cars are inspiring #hoe

vladberca · 02-07-2015, 02:22 AM

This is the reference for 2 series!
Awesome video too

Bosozoku · 02-07-2015, 02:52 AM

Love it. Except for the Subaru wheels.

seanq · 02-07-2015, 03:07 AM

awesome

JamezE36 · 02-07-2015, 04:31 AM

What a stunning build

im personally not a fan of the gold BBS but the rest of the car is perfection! its a shame the Alcantara interior is not a option in the UK for the M235i

mvallido · 02-07-2015, 04:53 AM

Simply the best M235i on the planet!

Anyway though, amazing build! Every little detail looks fantastic.

This was my very first thought I have to admit, I'm not knocking the car in any way, as the attention to detail and quality is unrivaled, but I think you are correct that the wheel arches come down too far, it gives the impression that rather than lose gap by lowering the ride height, the car has been lowered by adding metal.

Perhaps the M235i racing arches would have been a good base??

DrivenByE30 · 02-07-2015, 08:12 AM

The introduction paragraph is Perfect !

You would not be able to have those words if it wasn't for all the hard work, mad effort in putting this entire package together and make it look so natural in the end!

Mad Props to the entire team at IND

And congrats to the owner for having the first M2 looking months ahead before anyone

I missed this part but who painted the car? Did you take everything apart?
I would live to see pics of the car empty shell if it was the case....

but we need a lot more !!!! All this months of work, there has to be more !

Ps: yes , rear wheels arches pulled down a bit much.... Still

Murph335 · 02-07-2015, 08:36 AM

Extremely well written and documented article!

Takes notes BMW we want fat fenders!! Has to be pennies extra to budge fenders during the design process, but making buyers crave it means more $$.

Those seats are awesome!

I really want to know what the body work costs!

RS6 · 02-07-2015, 08:39 AM

Looks awesome!!!

That interior reminds me of the Evo 8.

SDKevin · 02-07-2015, 08:47 AM

Awesome auto porn! I just need a few minutes on my own.

dmboone25 · 02-07-2015, 08:48 AM

Perfect except the wheels - not my flavor, but man what a stunning change overall!

Especially the interior.

Brosef · 02-07-2015, 08:48 AM

Wow, another one of a kind build with an amazingly cohesive design. I'd take this over an M2. Impressive work

Marc08EX · 02-07-2015, 08:50 AM

WOW!! Amazing work IND!!! This EB M235i looks spectacular and PERFECTLY executed. Very unique... Congrats on such a job well done! and PertPlus, you have an amazing ride!

J-Spec Dan · 02-07-2015, 09:14 AM

How it should've been from the factory!

sq86 · 02-07-2015, 09:51 AM

Really well put together. That interior is amazing. If it were mine I'd want it to be a 6 speed and a LSD to go with it.

Savory · 02-07-2015, 10:10 AM

I don't think it's premature in saying this so early in 2015, but this may very be the best build I've seen this year. I honestly wouldn't change a thing. That perfect for me. Just a quick question, does the illuminated M logo poke you in the back since they are recessed in the F8X seats?

M54ccibo · 02-07-2015, 10:26 AM

Matt, you just made the game your bitch! Well done, can't wait to see it in person WITH the BBSs - cause we all know there'll be new shoes coming soon

mkPOTO · 02-07-2015, 10:44 AM

great work guys
