The Awron DGA Gauge is an all-in-one display unit that presents a wide array of real time data for BMWs. Featuring a sharp, full color OLED display, the Awron DGA gauge is controlled using the factory steering wheel buttons for on the fly commands. All Awron gauges ship expertly pre-assembled into an OEM air duct piece. The effect is stunning, creating an OEM look and feel that is hard to distinguish from BMW's own quality.

We are the exclusive North American importers of Awron gauges. Locals are free to stop by our shop and check out the unit installed in out M3. Click here or call us for more information about Awron gauges.

Here's another BMW that you probably saw if you were at Bimmerfest last week. This Alpine White F13 M6 shows off the complete line-up of Vorsteiner carbon fiber exterior modifications including a front lip spoiler, trunk spoiler, diffuser and side skirts. Super concave, forged matte finished 21" VSE-003 wheels complete the aggressive look of the car. Enjoy.

Our project Z4M got its latest round of mods just in time for Bimmerfest this year. Following its recent 525hp ESS supercharger installation, we installed a black StopTech big brake kit in the front and rear, satin black 19" Rays 57 Motorsport wheels and APR Performance's newest carbon fiber front wind splitter. This E86 M car is really coming together; very few other BMWs that we've had the opportunity of driving provide a similar level of feedback, handling and fun all in one package. While this Z4M is built primarily with weekend trackdays in mind, it's so fun to drive that it commutes to the eas office everyday. Enjoy.

Featuring a unique and beautiful individual finish called Frozen Silver, this E92 M3 came to our shop for a new set of wheels. The 18" staggered gloss black Volk TE37SL wheels create a wonderful contrast against the smooth matte finished, metallic paint. Giving this M3 it's properly lowered stance is a set of KW's top of the line suspension system, the Clubsport coilovers. The Akrapovic Evolution titanium exhaust is the perfect match for this clean, subtle and unique M3. Enjoy.

Here's a bunch of photos from Bimmerfest 2013. Enjoy.

While at Bimmerfest we made an effort to capture some photos and video for everyone that wasn't able to attend the show. Photos will be posted soon. Enjoy.

If you were lucky enough to be at Bimerfest this past Saturday, then there was a chance that you saw this beautiful Alpine White F10 M5 at our booth. Featuring the very first pieces of Vorsteiner's new M5 line-up, this car is equipped with a 2-piece carbon fiber front lip spoiler, an aggressive carbon fiber rear diffuser and 21" VSE-003 concave forged wheels.

This unique satin black painted E82 135i came by our shop to ditch the stock wheels and get a set of APEX EC-7s. Featuring a 7 double-spoke design, the EC-7 is available in a wide variety of sizes, including E82 1-Series fitment options. Weighing in at only 20.75lbs for the front and 21.55lbs for the rear, these APEX wheels are substantially lighter than the OEM wheels and give this 135i a whole new aggressive look.

This Alpine White E92 M3 rides on a set of 19" gunmetal HRE C100 wheels wrapped in AD08 tires lowered on KW sleeve-over suspension. Accenting the exterior are some BMW Performance carbon fiber pieces along with IND's painted reflectors. On the inside, the BMW Performance Alcantara steering wheel gives some motorsport flair to the extended Fox Red leather interior. A set of Magnaflow mufflers gives this 6SPD M3 the tone it deserves. The result is a subtly modded M3 that maintains a close resemblance to OEM standards.

The last time we had this M3 on our dyno it put down an astonishing 658whp and 455wtq. While most M3 owners (or most car owners for that matter!) would be perfectly content with squeezing such high numbers our of their motor, M3Post member DLSJ5 was not. Upon his return we learned that a new, slightly smaller blower pulley had been installed to bring his ESS Supercharger System up to 13.5 PSI.

Running such high boost paid off, with the best dyno run of the morning recording a mind-blowing 703whp and 478wtq! Fun fact: that's about twice as much as what a stock M3 does on our dyno. A supercharged M3 with 550whp already feels neck-snappingly fast; we can only imagine how hard this monster pulls with an additional 150whp. Be sure to watch the video of the dyno run to get a sense of the insane amount of power this car puts down.
