The Cool Factor at Bimmer Invasion 2023

One of the hottest BMW events in North America since 2020 has been Bimmer Invasion in Orlando Florida. This is the place to see the latest and greatest builds. Enthusiasts and Companies go all out and this year was no exception.

While the G8X M3/M4 has been on the market for a couple years now, it really started hitting it’s stride in the aftermarket over the past year. Tuners, parts manufacturers, and enthusiasts have been testing the limits of the S58. With more and more supporting mods available now (like CSF's Charge-Air-Cooler Manifold #8233 - Official Press Release here on BimmerPost), we are really starting to see what this motor is capable of. So it comes as no surprise that the number of G8X M3s and M4s at the show this year was exponentially bigger than last year and these weren’t just garage queens.

The Hottest G8X Cars on the East Coast

Titan Motorsports – G80 M3 Competition

Titan Motorsports has been a powerhouse in the drag racing world for years. Over the past few years they have built some of the highest horsepower and fastest B58 powered cars. It’s no surprise that they took that experience and focused their attention on the new S58 power plant. Titan Motorsports recently (mid January) procured their G80 M3 Competition in Fire Orange. They got to work building a car they could debut at Bimmer Invasion and they knocked it out of the park.



















The build is centered around the CSF 3-Piece Power Cooling Package. This package includes the “Level Up” Charge Air Cooler Manifold (CSF #8233) custom finished in Fire Orange, Front Mount Heat Exchanger (CSF #8215), and ZF8 Auto Transmission Cooler (CSF #8221). Featured on this build are parts from some of the biggest name in the industry. Styling and Aero by Vorsteiner, IND Distribution, and Fall Line Motorsports give the M3 a sophisticated yet aggressive presence. KW Suspension offers a modest drop and improved handling. The rest of the performance is rounded out with Eventuri’s Carbon Intake System and tuned in house by Titan Motorsports.

The Studio PSI – G80 M3 Competition
The Studio PSI (Precision Sport Industries) is well known in the BMW community for building some of the coolest cars on the east coast. Last year there was their Ruby Stone G80 M3 that was all over the internet last year. Undoubtedly their newest G8X build will be an even bigger hit. This time the Studio PSI owner (Drew Leslie) decided to build his own G80 and the results speak for themselves.



















This 2022 Santorini Blue G80 M3 Competition is absolutely gorgeous. Also centered around the CSF 3-Piece Power Cooling Package. The highlight of this package is definitely the “Level Up” Charge Air Cooler Manifold (CSF #8233) custom finished in Santorini Blue for that perfect color coordination. Performance upgrade list includes: Active Autowerke Downpipes w/ cats, PSI Midpipe, Akrapovic Slip-On Exhaust, and Eventuri Carbon Intake System. Suspension features the new AST ALS (Adjustable Lower Springs) to get that perfect ride height. In addition, all the exterior styling modifications come from Vorsteiner. The combination of Santorini Blue, Carbon Fiber, and those White Gold FR-305s make you just stop and stare.

S58nyc – G82 M4 Competition xDrive

S58nyc – G82 M4 Competition xDrive

One of the highlights of the weekend was spending time with S58NYC and his Sao Paulo Yellow G82 M4 Competition xDrive. S58NYC is an avid car enthusiast who is very active in motorsports competitions. You may have seen his RWD G82 M4 Competition social media or at the drag strip. Needless to say, he isn’t a garage queen builder, but he does know how to style his cars.



















This M4 has the most extreme performance upgrades of the bunch. A fully built bottom end and Pure Drivetrain Solutions built transmission are set up for more than 1000+hp. The CSF 3-Piece Power Cooling Package and specifically the “Level-Up” Charge-Air-Cooler Manifold is going to play a huge role when it comes time for tuning after the engine is broken in. Boost will be provided by a massive single turbo upgrade pulled through the Eventuri Carbon Intake System. Exhaust is managed through an Active Autowerke system which sounds even better than it looks.







While some people might elect to focus on just show or go upgrades, S58NYC goes hard on both fronts. The full aero kit and front bumper from ADRO Inc really set the mood on the exterior styling. In this case though, the styling is also functional offering improved aerodynamics for added performance. Suspension for now handled by KW H.A.S. (Height Adjustable Springs) giving the M4 a nice lowered stance. A set of custom 20 inch wheels round off the “show” setup, but he also has a set of M Performance 963 wheels for his drag setup.













Complete Build List:

• 2023 BMW G82 M4 code name “Bumblebee” built by Autocraft BMW
• VAC Motorsports Pistons, Rods, port & polish head, valve springs & titanium retainers
• Pures Stage 2+ Turbo
• AB Performance Tuned
• Bootmod3 x3m cloned ecu
• Full e85
• CSF Intake Manifold w/ 1000cc port injectors
• CSF Heat Exchanger
• CSF ZF8 Transmission Cooler
• Pure Drive Solutions Stage 2+ Transmission
• Eventuri Intakes
• KW Coilover kit
• Motiv Reflex PI Controller
• Custom High Flow low pressure fuel pump
• Custom Goliath 3.5 Active Autowerks Race Exhaust
• Carbon Ceramic Brakes
• Custom 20” Wheels
• ADRO front bumper, sideskirts and rear diffuser
• CSL style Yellow DRLs
• Turner Motorsports strut brace
• Custom painted engine & ecu cover

Bimmer Invasion G8X Round Up

By and large, Bimmer Invasions Orlando was an amazing event. There were countless G8X builds present and it was great to see how much development has happened in the variety of upgrades available for the chassis. Without a doubt, the G8X has been fully integrated into the BWM tuning world.

S58NYC took home the award for Best Coupe at the show. With all the hard work and effort put into this build so far, CSF can definitely say he earned it.

The new body colored CSF inter-cooler units on these G80's are sick. Who's doing the painting on them these days... ?

Hi Kevin,

The Orange and Blue ones from this photoset, we had these completed through our contracted powder-coater. We prefer to take care of any custom paint work and then ship to the customer. This allows us to control the QC process, make sure it's done right, and then checked again before shipping to the customer. + our coating company does so many of them, they know exactly what areas need to be masked / taped off, which areas need to be plugged, and what to look out for - this is all very important to making sure debris doesn't get into the core of the cooler and the unit comes out as nice as possible. You can check out a full list of custom finishes we've done for all of our BMW coolers here

This makes compete sense. Do any of these new CSF products (for the S58) fit my X3 M with the S58... ?

Our S58 manifold was designed to fit both G8x M3/M4, as well as the F97 X3M/X4M

We just posted the full press release with all the specs and data in the technical section of the forum - you can check it out here

The highest horsepower car we have running our manifold is actually a stroker motor X4M 1021whp!

We're waiting to get a local development car for the trans cooler and heat exchanger as well. this should be released in late summer.

Well done gents!

[YasPlz_CSL]

Very nice!!

[NotSharocks]

East Coast about to get absolutely steam rolled by West Coast builds.

LOL

[Zara]

Would love to see the Sao Paulo Yellow G82 with the ADRO front bumper next to another G80/G82 with a regular front bumper for comparison. The builds look awesome!

[idkutellme]

bro I thought those were going to be worse than those but those are FIRE!! I now want one

[Tru Vic3]

I respect the Adro front bumper. It doesn’t mean I like it, stock is still way better IMO.

[TargaM2]

Fantastic to see some more well modded cars on the front page. Congrats to the owners 👍.
So much more interesting & inspiring than standard cars 🥱.

Personally coming from the west-coast - I think they're way ahead of the west coast when it comes to the G8x platform - both in terms of looks and power modifications - Just calling it how I see it.

Great builds but not feeling the ardo front on the yellow car.

[cfm56d7b]

By far, this is the candidate for the post of the year. Every build is exceptional. Great photography!

[jm490]

That ADRO front makes you appreciate BMW taste and styling so much more. I don’t understand how that’s appealing. The rest of the build is amazing. The other 2 are awesome. Cool to see different styles and builds
