Customer Spotlight: Supercharged E92 M3 With Akrapovic Titanium Exhaust

Here at Vivid Racing, we are big BMW enthusiasts. We also have many customers that are big BMW enthusiasts. As such, we sell lots of parts for BMW vehicles, especially the M3. The E92 is kind of the odd-ball in the M3 family because it has a V8, not an inline-six like the M3s before and after it. With that high-revving V8 comes an absolutely insane exhaust note. With that V8 comes a larger displacement than any other M3. Many enthusiasts argue “there is no replacement for displacement,” which is true to an extent. When you combine lots of displacement with boost you end up with big power and that’s exactly what our customer did with their E92.

This particular 2011 E92 M3 is using an ESS Tuning VT2-650 Intercooled Supercharger System for BMW E9x M3 08-14. This supercharger takes the E92 M3 from 414 horsepower all the way up to 650 horsepower on just 8 psi of boost pressure. With additional modifications, the power can be taken even further. In addition to the ESS supercharger, our customer also picked up an Akrapovic Titanium Evolution Exhaust BMW E92/3 M3 with Akrapovic Carbon Tail Pipes BMW E9X M3. This gives the E92 M3 an absolutely amazing sound, plus the carbon tips look killer.

Finishing off the everything is the coolest boost gauge ever. This boost gauge, AWRON E9xDGA Electronic Gauge Module BMW M3 E92 Kompressor 08-13, is designed specifically for the E9X and looks like a factory piece. If you have any questions about the parts on this E92 or would like to purchase any parts for your BMW, please do not hesitate to contact us. We can be reached by phone at 1.480.966.3040 or via email at sales@vividracing.com.

Agency Power Reveals their Latest Aeroform Carbon Fiber Program

Agency Power has just revealed their latest carbon fiber upgrades for the BMW F80 M3 and F82 M4 in Fontana, California at Bimmerfest 2016. This new Aeroform Carbon Fiber program provides the BMW F8x chassis with aggressive attitude, all without adding overly-exaggerated or disproportionate lines to the body.

The Aeroform program consists of a carbon fiber 3-piece front lip, rear diffuser, rear trunk spoiler and side skirt extensions. This program will fit both the F80 and F82 with the exception of the rear spoiler, which is only available for the F82 M4 coupe. The car featured in the photos below was a huge hit at Bimmerfest and also included Agency Power’s cold air intakes and downpipes.

*Please note, however, that the rear carbon trunk spoiler shown below is not part of the Aeroform program.

UUC Motorwerks Announces Short Shifters for BMW 3- and 4-Series

UUC Motorwerks, also known as the Underground Upgrade Club, is dedicated to giving you more than what you pay for. UUC is pleased to announce that their tradition of offering the best-feeling and highest quality shifter on the market continues with BMW’s newest generations of vehicles. They constantly receive reviews saying things like, “If you’re going to do one thing to your BMW, it should be a UUC Evo3 Ultimate Shifter.”  Of all the control devices in a BMW, the shifter is the one that gives the greatest impression of mechanical interaction and really allows the driver to be in control. Whether you are just commuting to the office, taking a relaxing drive or going out racing, this shifter will make a huge difference.

UUC’s Ultimate Shifter products are designed on a complete bearing system, resulting in the smoothest and most precise shifting experience possible, while maintaining very low shifting effort. Check out Vivid Racing’s entire lineup of UUC short shifters here.

The unique characteristics of the design include: (MADE in the USA)

• height adjustment via upper-section length change (this does not change linkage geometry like moving-ball designs).


• flex and rotation-free lever construction with full-length vibration-absorbing bushing.


• linkage geometry perfectly corrected, with self-adjusting primary pivot bearing that permanently retains lubrication and precision (some models).


• zero-tolerance lower pivot bearings that never require lubrication and eliminate significant mechanism friction. These do not wear or ovalize like solid-metal or plastic designs with expanding tolerances.

Ultimate Short Shifters

 Special features:

• 100% CNC-machined 303 stainless steel construction.


• All-bearing assembly.


• No plastic.


• UUC’s “massive overkill” design philosophy exemplified. The precision machining of these shifters makes them feel like a solid one-piece design that still absorbs vibration via the rubber inner section. They do not come apart or flex like “clip together” shifters.


• Height-adjustable design.

Ultimate Short Shifter – EVO3 fits 2012+ F30/F31/F32/F34 335i/iX, 328i, 320i, 435i/iX, 428i

Ultimate Short Shifter – EVO3 fits 2013+ F80/F82 M3 and M4
