13 years.

Seeing a message from Matt@KnauzBMW land on my phone letting us know that the Ind G82 M4 has landed sent me down a road filled with memories. 13 years ago, a young group of automotive enthusiasts took delivery of an Alpine white 2008 6-speed E92 M3. During a very uncertain time for the US economy, we knew that no matter what happened automotive fans around the world would embrace this new high-revving naturally aspirated V8.

Behind the wheel of the E92 M3 for the first time all of my anxiety flew out of the window. BMW M built a near perfect car that would create followers for many years to come. The emotional reaction I experienced behind the wheel felt just like the first drive in my E46 M3. I looked for any excuse to take another drive in the iND E92 M3. To this day, I still get this same rush behind the wheel of the S65.

Today things have changed. Are we still pure automotive enthusiast? Is BMW M heading in the right direction? Do customers still respect the process of producing custom parts? Why do they only care about getting a tracking number vs. having iND deliver the highest quality part? During uncertain times in the world BMW has released the G8x M3/M4. Will this new M become a future classic like the E9x M3? Just like the recovery of the world, will this new M car move in the same direction or is the front kidney grille too progressive for true enthusiasts?

Congrats! Thanks to IND for everything they have done for this community.

Loving the orange contrast with the white exterior!

GOLFFRR · 03-10-2021, 12:43 PM

Nice guys looking forward to seeing what you all do with it !

Jcali86 · 03-10-2021, 12:59 PM

Both look stunning, I think this is the first M4 I've seen in white and it's beautiful. Wallpaper material post; thanks so much for this!

Very cool! I love these IND new model delivery posts. You guys have great photos.

J-RO · 03-10-2021, 01:34 PM

Maybe they can get a 4 series. That one needs more work.

swampfox94 · 03-10-2021, 01:34 PM

E30 looks like it's sitting a mile from the g82 in the picture. Looks so tiny lol

Nice Nate! Can't wait to hear what you think about it, and more importantly, what mods you have planned

I was just thinking about asking Matt if he had any G80/2's around to check out.

TargaM2 · 03-10-2021, 02:07 PM

Nice spec. The E30 is stunning.

jpsimon · 03-10-2021, 02:11 PM

Will IND be offering body-color painted side-skirts?

I look forward to your offering of many engineered aftermarket products! As for the grille, there isn't anything Vorsteiner can't fix!

Thanks! 13 years since the delivery of the E92 M3. We have been open for a little over 15 years.

Blindside_137 · 03-10-2021, 03:04 PM

It's beautiful. Interior with the 6MT is truly something to behold. Congrats to the IND team.
