that silver cf on the 1er is funky :O. i like.

mave198 · 08-10-2010, 01:51 PM

Hey Sal, was wondering if you guys can do angel eyes upgrades, new tire installation (with balancing of course) and rim rash repair at your shop. Possibly exhaust up grade and Vishnu PROcede installation also.

Obviously not in one shot. Just want to know if you guys offer these services.

Thanks.

Sal@AUTOcouture · 08-10-2010, 02:44 PM

We do it all

Sal@AUTOcouture · 08-13-2010, 10:27 AM

Felix's E90 335xi got some new shoes this week...Gunmetal VMR V701

Martin came by the other day with Mo (didn't snap any pics of his 1

to get his CDV done. Really nice tii replica:

Little color match mod to our shop car: Painted paddles and start/stop trim

And finally, our new Project:

2011 550i White/ Brown

Today we did color matched reflectors. Soon to come is exhaust, suspension and wheels

Stay Tuned!

Sal@AUTOcouture · 08-20-2010, 02:45 PM

As some of you guys remember the Silver M3 that was sitting outside the shop for a few months (horrible carbon fiber hood, flat tire, blown clutch, etc etc). Well........things have changed!

Last month Dave bought it (owner of EuroAddictions.net) and has teamed up with us to build a full-on show/race car. The car will be going through an all out transformation over the next couple months into something VERY special.

First Round:

-LED Tails
-OEM Silver hood
-VMR VB3 wheels (soon to be powdercoated or replaced...unsure)
-Multifunction double din headunit (radio, dvd, tv, navi, pc, ipod)
-Rogue Engineering full exhaust w/ electric cutout
-ECIS intake w/ Rogue Engineering rubber elbow
-Matte black grills

Coming soon:
-Full black interior
-Full vinyl wrap (special color

)
-much more

Some pictures of the radio installation:

JBiddy · 08-20-2010, 03:07 PM

damn that e46 M3 has come a long way!!! looks nice

best of luck with the new project

itsbrokeagain · 08-20-2010, 06:03 PM

LOL the header install still gives me nightmares

DaveD08 · 08-20-2010, 11:33 PM

Looking forward to getting this M ready for the shows and track, I have a mod list that seems to grow each day but I'm excited to get started on the few things we talked about the other day. Thanks for all your help Sal

Heres a pic of when I picked the M up from Autocouture:

I have a full build thread going on the car here, but I'm sure Sal will keep it updated in this thread!

itsbrokeagain · 08-20-2010, 11:57 PM

Great work! Nice to see that car went to a good home and now it's getting some serious attention!

DaveD08 · 08-25-2010, 09:24 PM

I think you guys are really going to like what I have in store for this car

Sal, thanks for getting all the parts for the valve adjustments and oil changes coming this weekend. Sal is the man to go to for OEM parts!

Sal@AUTOcouture · 08-31-2010, 07:04 PM

We took yesterday off and attended the BMWCCA Patroon HPDE at Monticello Raceway. Here are some pics snapped by the on-staff photographer...more pics and videos coming!

The car handled extremely well and was very very strong. Gobbled up some pretty fast cars including but not limited to: 996 GT3, C5 Z06, E39 M5's, New Camaro, and more E46 and E90 M3's than I can remember

Sal@AUTOcouture · 09-01-2010, 02:00 PM

Some more pictures from the event:

This car had invisible paint

nyknickfan · 09-01-2010, 05:29 PM

Great pics Sal! Nice to see the Silver M3 in the pics too...the only time I saw it was with the carbon fiber hood covered in pollen in front of the shop
