Sonic MS | F8X Build Showcase and Day-To-Day Gallery

Drew@Sonic MS · 05-05-2016, 02:12 AM

As Bimmerfest is around the corner, we are wrapping up our project cars - 1 F80 and 3 F82s. We haven't really shared any of the builds as they are constantly changing and we are waiting for them all to be completed to have our go-to photographer Daniel Bronshteyn (@guywithacamera415/@Black_List) shoot all of them once they are done.

This photoshoot was done a while back for PSM Dynamic and figured we would start sharing some pictures of our builds that extend beyond an iPhone camera. We will try and get pictures up of each build before Bimmerfest. If not, the cars will be present at VF Engineering and our booth for those of you attending and the thread will be updated after.

Our shop F80 car will have a different and much more extensive mod-list by Bimmerfest but we figured we would still share Daniel's beautiful work.

drop and offset is money

Drew@Sonic MS · 05-06-2016, 10:29 PM

Thank you guys, car is on a different set of wheels now. G25s are for sale if anybody is interested!

lsturbointeg · 05-07-2016, 04:22 AM

ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS!

igagjan · 05-07-2016, 10:08 PM

I love the color!!!

Beautiful unique monster

Drew@Sonic MS · 05-09-2016, 01:06 PM

New toys for the shop car we installed on Friday! We had the BBS FI-Rs on a while ago but gave them to a good customer who couldn't wait when they were out of stock at BBS. Good opportunity to run the 19/20 staggered set up we always wanted to try.

Drew@Sonic MS · 05-10-2016, 12:08 PM

Customer stopped by to get his Akrapovic slip-on, Volk TE-37SL (19"), and H&R Super Sport Springs installed

s4play · 05-11-2016, 02:01 PM

I like the G25 wheels, are they pretty lightweight / strong?

Where are the pics of the Bride seats? Saw them at last meet locally, very tempting!

They are, Rays is definitely bang for the buck when it comes to strong lightweight Forged wheels.

The seats have been pulled out of the car already... customer wanted them and we refinished the seats completely for him. We will have pictures of the full build up shortly for that vehicle.

mikex25 · 05-11-2016, 02:44 PM

Love every bit of it

Drew@Sonic MS · 05-11-2016, 02:52 PM

We picked up this car with Xpel Stealth already installed on it (Richy Rich) so we're redoing the stealth clear bra since we like all the edges tucked so no gloss shows (custom cut vs pre-cut kits) and heat treated edges so it doesn't peel over time.

Looks great! That diffuser everytime I see it

Completely agree, we generally use Varis diffuser & undertray combos but when PSM Dynamic released theirs it was hard to deny how much cleaner it is without all the rivets/bolts.

Anymore videos? Do you find it very OEM like the burbles or is it overdone?

Drew@Sonic MS · 05-12-2016, 09:35 PM

Only one as of now, but as soon as our neighbor's have time to dyno our vehicle we will record the whole thing as well.

Not overdone at all in my opinion. My other vehicle is a N54 w/ a 750 Motiv Single Turbo kit. Hated the S55 exhaust sound until I got the burble from VF Engineering. Now it reminds me of my N54 with all the backfires and burbles, extremely happy with how the car sounds now.

I am running ER DP with Akrapovic Evolution exhaust and valve open may be too loud for the more conservative folks but with it closed it's minimal.

Drew@Sonic MS · 05-17-2016, 03:35 PM

Akrapovic CF Tips matching nicely with AutoTecknic's Matte CF Cover
