Arrow Alpine White M3 E92 LCI + ADV5.2 CS-Series by Prodrive Thailand

Hello All,

My name is Din from Bangkok, Thailand.
I own a shop called Prodrive.

Last April, we just decided to become ADV.1's master dealer in Thailand.

I'd like to share some of our recent works on M3 E92 LCI which is our demo car.
2 weeks ago we just had this professional shooting for local magazine featuring
a very first set of ADV.1 CS-Series in Asia as well as new Capristo Valvetronic Exhaust

Previously i had a Akrapovic Full Evolution exhaust system. I was happy with it
but after using for 2 years it was a little too quiet. So when Capristo has released
their new exhaust for M3, i was excited to try and mix with Front section of Akrapovic.

I'm extremely happy with the result. It sounds much louder with nice Roar and zero drone

You can check the VDO Sound here


Mod Lists:
- Vorsteiner GTS5 Front Bumper
- Arkym Rear Carbon Diffuser
- ADV5.2 TrackSpec CS-Series 20"
- Michelin PSS 255/30 + 295/25 R20
- Brembo Brake 6x380 / 4x345
- Akrapovic Full Evulution + Capristo Rear Muffler
- BMW Performance Front Black Chrome Grill
- BMW Performance Carbon Mirror Cover
- BMW Performance Carbon Trunk Spoiler
- KW V.3 Inox Coilover
- MC-Chip Tuning (Germany) with Cat. Delete software
- Gruppe M Carbon Air Intake
- Okada Project Direct Coil

I hope you guys like the pictures

Thank you
Yes I knew ADV.1 is not the lightest wheel.
This 3pcs wheels are more for show purpose hehe

My previous set was Modulare B18 19" which was much lighter.
This year ADV.1 has released CS-series and I think their 1 pc CS-series
is quite light. If i'm not mistaken 21x12.00 weights less than 22 lbs each

It's not about the weight.


It's about quality. But i won't go there.

Nice car, minus the wheels.

Thanks guys for comments.

Yes i admitted ADV.1 quality was not the best back in 3-4 years ago.

But last 1-2 years, i noticed their wheel quality has been improved over the year (Note that Many of our road conditions are terrible and yes we did have problem 3-4 years ago where their wheels were easily got dent/damaged) But no more that problem now so far for the last 2 years we've sold.

Also recently i've just met Mike from ADV.1 from his visit in Thailand. So i asked him a lot of Question. They have improved quality control over last 1-2 years.

They are actually checking every single material/wheel from a vendor now. They've also recorded and sent me a VDO of my wheel being tested for balance, etc.

At the end, i think many people really go for it because of its design.
But i believe they will have a plan for a lightweight / performance wheels in near future
