Jbook's Fire Orange M4 build by Alekshop

BIMMERPOST
     Featured on BIMMERPOST.com
Fire Orange has always been a special color for the M cars and for us. Having built a custom Fire Orange E9X M3 GTS replica we have been wanting to do a custom Fire Orange build on the new F series platform. Forum member Jbook has been a customer of ours for years, we helped him build his previous E9X M3. Not one to cut corners we knew he would want to build his new M4 correctly with not only form as a priority but also function. The end result is a car that embodies a OEM persona while also having a distinctive individual aftermarket edge.

Now that the project is finished we are as happy as he is at the end result.


Modifications:

Akrapovic Exhaust
Akrapovic Down Pipes
KW Club Sport Suspension
Awron Gauge
ECU flash tune
Brembo 380mm BBK
BBS FI-R wheels
BMW Performance interior trim
BMW Performance steering wheel
BMW Performance seats
BMW Performance rear diffuser
BMW Performance side skirts
BMW Performance rear trunk lip
BMW Performance front lip
Gruppe M intake

So how does BMW manage to make the M4 GTS look like a Civic owned by a high schooler and this looks outstanding?

Those studio pics at the end are some of the best I've seen. Stunning.

Your cads are always so perfectly modded Jbook!

Thanks for all the comments! Aleks had my e90 M3 and f82 M4 on both of his lifts taking one apart and building the other. I definitely can't say the car would've come out anywhere close to this without him and Paul at Alekshop. This is a truly special color and I wouldn't have made the move to the f8x if I hadn't been able to have it.

Beautiful build and a flawless execution.
I've asked my CA to start researching an individual order for FO.
Yes, yes before you all tell me it's a "restricted" color until 2017 due to factory retooling, we have to keep trying for one of us just might get lucky!
