We TRAVELED 4,336 miles to Build a BMW G80 M3! (Bimmer Invasion Orlando)

Hi everyone, we just landed back home from a quick trip out to Bimmer Invasion Orlando and what an event it was!

Video Feature Premiering now :





Bimmer Invasion marks the start of the USA show season with lots of builds from the winter being showcased. A few customers got in touch, looking for something new for the show, and we had the perfect modification for them.

Introducing the brand new SQ Aero Front Grille for the G8X M3 & M4!

It’s been a while since a new G8X front grille design was launched. The GT-style & CSL-style grilles from MHC LDN are great options but we were keen to get this new grille from SooQoo fitted to some cars.

We brought some parts in our suitcases to install on two special G8Xs right in time for Bimmer Invasion. Huge thanks to PSI for lending us their incredible workshop for a couple of hours! We fitted 2 brand new SooQoo SQ Aero grilles + an MHC LDN SP2 front lip just in time for the show.

It was cool to see some individual spec G80s across the pond - including an idential spec to Rhys’ 1,000bhp Mexico Blue G80 back at home alongside an R44 USA ambassador rocking Individual Twighlight Purple.

Showtime! As most of you’ll know, the weather wasn’t the best but we didn’t let that stop us. It was amazing to see both familiar builds and familiar faces alongside some special cars built just in time for the show.

Starting off with Jake’s G87 M2 built by North Raleigh Performance in North Carolina; a relatively new BMW speciailist building some of the coolest BMWs at the moment alongside Edgar’s Mexico Blue G80 we worked on prior to the event. We look forward to helping the guys at NRP to continue to build the best quality BMWs in the state.

This build drew our attention instantly after realising it has been wrapped in the same colour as our single turbo G81 M3 Touring - Narhwal Blue.

The car’s dropped on BBS E89 with a Team Schirmer Rear wing and a host of Alpha N exterior parts soon to be joined with some Edition 1 Goodies and of course being located on the iND booth.

Moving onto a build you will not see every day: the Pit and Paddock E91 M3 Wagon built by Precision Sport in Florida.

A E92 GTS Meets a E91 Wagon - and trust us this was built with no expense spared with a host of parts from Bilstien, CSF, Eventuri, BBS and many more!

We hope to see this car a lot more this year...

Something that stood out to Rhys was this 1 of 10 Adro Widebody G82 M4. This stood out from the crowd while staying stealth and built to exactly how the owner likes his builds - completely functional. Adro has blown up over the past year or so and it’s clear to see why. They made a name for themselves with the G8X front bumper redesign & the incredible quality of their carbon.

It ws great to meet up some familair brands including AST, CSF Radiators and Valvetronic Designs to see some of their latest products & and upcoming releases.

We also stopped by the Gyeon stand where our friend Rol’s Twighlight Purple G80 M3 was on display rocking a host of MHC LDN carbon fibre and debuting the new SQ Aero front grille!

It was then time for Cars & Coffee at Precision Sport Industries’ new facility. It was a short but sweet visit for us but they did not let us down. We got to take a closer look at the Pit and Paddock E91 M3 and realise Rhys’ real love for the E46 M3, a car to hopefully join his track fleet one day…

There was a huge variety of builds at the morning meet from a G82 M4 pickup (Ute) built by Dinman to Vorsteiner's newly released G87 M2, and PSI’s show stopper of an Adro G87 M2 dropped on AST suspension and cooled by CSF.

Last but not least…

Meet Jorge and His G80 M3, one of the first customers to purchase the MHC LDN SP1 front splitter and SK1 side skirts back in 2022 and has showed constant support since then. He recently picked up the DF1 LED carbon rear diffuser but that was not enough for him. One last-minute message to Rhys and we had a set of SS1 rear side splitters packed in our suitcase to install right before Bimmer Invasion to complete his lowline kit. Jorge you are the best!

I missed it this year (had a wedding on Friday that went late), I like the look of that grill though, a little different from the norm.

All these cars make me drool Even that unique M4 ute The new grille is nice, gives a different look altogether

I’m definitely digging individual purple hues on the G8x, I may have to go the individual route for my next ride thanks for sharing!

So many great cars. One of the front splitters was very low, low enough to be concerned while navigating parking lot ramps. Well - it still looks great.
