For years I have found myself lusting over the BMW M3.
From the E36 to the E46 and now the E90s, there is something about the allure and rawness that M GmbH brings to the table. When I imagine how I would mod my ideal M3, there is one word that comes to mind: Individual.
It is one thing to have an Imola Red M car but when you see what BMW Individual is capable of, it is just astounding. The color pallette is just about anything you can think of and the variation in materials, trims and textures is jaw dropping.
Started in 1991, the Individual program was created to meet the demand that was growing from customers with a desire for something a bit more unique. The problem surrounding the program is that because buyers in the U.S. were so fickle, they decided to not offer it in lieu of dealer lots full of custom cars that no one wanted.
Although, once and a while something comes along that blows everyone away. IND-Distribution‘s latest project, dubbed Atlantis, shows exactly what is capable when an enthusiast, a tuning shop and special OEM packaging come together. IND would love to tell you the center piece of this E90 is the hand-built, one-off carbon fiber roof but there is so much to appreciate about every little mod this car has, you cannot really pick one aspect.
Taking a closer look you will notice the gloss black kidney grills, gloss black sidemarkers, gloss black powdercoated exhaust tips. Another clutch mod are the 380mm Brembo brakes, which are color-matched Atlantis Metallic. Clearly, no expense was spared.
My mother always told me, “if you’re going to do something, do it right.”
I am still curious as to how the boys over at IND know my mother. Hats off to you, chaps.
