Alpine White BMW M3 Gets Latest HRE FlowForm Wheels And Carbon Fiber Parts

Keeping it simple may sound like an easy thing to do, but with aftermarket builds, going overboard is always lurking behind the corner. Luckily for owners, companies like TAG Motorsports are here in order to keep their builds within the lines, while adding some premium aftermarket parts to vehicles, like this beautiful Alpine White BMW M3. This build may not feature a lot of additions, but that’s what keeps it clean and classy throughout.

Thanks to its 3.0 liter BMW TwinPower Turbo engine, delivering 425 horsepower and 486lb-ft of torque, the M3 is no slouch! It can accelerate from 0-62mph (0-100km/h) in as low as 4.1 seconds (when equipped with the optional DCT – Dual Clutch Transmission system) and keep going all the way to an electronically limited top speed of 155mph (250km/h). For many, the M3 poses the perfect foundation for an aftermarket builds – just like this one.

With this M3, it all started with a brand new set of aftermarket wheels. Thanks to the newest offering from HRE Wheels – the HRE FF04 Flow Form wheels – the M3 gets a refreshed look. These FF04 wheels come in sizes of 20×10 and 20×11 in the front and rear, respectively. While unorthodox for an M3 setup, these wheels offer a perfect lightweight, perfect fitment solution for this vehicle, enhancing the car’s looks substantially. Thanks to a Liquid Metal Finish, the wheels look perfectly contrasted against the white exterior of the car itself.

After the wheels were installed, it was time to add some nice little touches to the cosmetic side of things. For this owner, that all started with a set of M Performance front Splitters, and an M Performance front Lip spoiler. It continued with Status Gruppe side skirts that covered the flanks, while a Vorsteiner rear diffuser was chosen to cover the rear. The TAG Motorsports painted reflector package finished off the outside to give the M3 a cleaner look.

For the stance and handling improvement, the tuner installed a KW Suspension HAS (Height Adjustable Spring Kit). The final touch that makes the daily start-ups and drives more enjoyable, an AWE Tuning Non-Res Switchpath was installed. The 102mm black tips were chosen to compliment the Vorsteiner rear diffuser perfectly. Grab a look at the finished product in the media gallery right below.
