Ecco una BMW F82 M4 rivista dalla famosa Fire Orange di Chicago
L’arancione si sposa bene con le star del reparto M di Monaco di Baviera, come ha dimostrato alla grande la stupenda E92 M3 GTS del 2010, purtroppo costruita solo in 135 esemplari. Tutte le BMW più cattive sembrano attratte da questo colore, l’unico capace di esaltare davvero il loro DNA racing da vere superstar della pista.
Il proprietario di questa M4 è un vero M addicted di Chicago che non poteva restare insensibile al fascino delle preparazioni dello specialista IND, situato a pochi chilometri dalla capitale dell’Illinois (e del Blues). La M4 di serie non è di sicuro un angioletto e già di suo non fa nulla per nascondere la sua natura pistaiola. Nonostante ciò, il cliente per la sua M4 voleva qualcosa di più. Ispirandosi alla famosa E92 M3 GTS, il proprietario ha programmato le modifiche della sua M4 prima ancora che la macchina uscisse dalle mani della BMW, facendola costruire con i freni carboceramici, la carrozzeria arancione e gli interni che richiamano il colore arancione in diversi punti.
La seconda fase della preparazione è opera dell’americana IND. Queste le principali modifiche:
- splitter e prese d’aria anteriori
- minigonne laterali
- diffusore posteriore in carbonio
- terminali di scarico in carbonio abbinati allo scarico della M performance
- volante sportivo con spie a led
- pomello del cambio
- calotte dei retrovisori in carbonio
- cerchi BBS FI-R nero lucido con pneumatici AD08R Advan da 275 e 295 rispettivamente all’anteriore e al posteriore.
- radiatore dell’olio per migliorare la sicurezza e l’affidabilità nell’uso sportivo
- alettone posteriore in fibra di carbonio…
Anche se la M4 GTS offerta dalla BMW ufficiale non è affatto un angioletto, come dicevamo, questa M4 in versione “arancia meccanica” è decisamente più cattiva e brutale della sua versione di serie, oltre che più in linea con il suo DNA da pista, come piace agli appassionati della M tedesca.
Let’s have a view of this BMW “Clockwork Orange” Masterpiece
BMW’s introduction of Fire Orange to their color palette excited M enthusiasts everywhere. For many, the vibrancy of the color reflects the dynamic nature of the M car, and it is perhaps for this reason that BMW elected to use Fire Orange as the official release color for the E92 M3 GTS.
The owner of the Fire Orange M4 in this thread has been a BMW M enthusiast for many years, and was inspired by the E92 M3 GTS. The E92 GTS was a car that made no apologies about its sporting nature, and the M4 you see in this post is similarly unapologetic. When choosing the specification for his new M4, our client knew that nothing less than Fire Orange would suit the modifications he had already planned for the car.
Obtaining the Fire Orange color itself was a year-long quest, made more complex because of equipment changes within BMW’s own factory. We will give our client the opportunity to explain the details of his ordering process himself when he is ready, but suffice to say that ensuring that his Fire Orange order went through required persistence, good follow-up, and the help of some very kind people at BMW internally.
We’d planned the modifications for this M4 long before the car was completed by BMW, and had them prepared for installation before the car arrived at IND. The E92 M3 GTS spoke to us as inspiration, across generational lines, and with that car as our guide we began our work. This M4 was delivered to us with BMW’s carbon ceramic brakes, and an individual interior which included a beautiful orange stitch throughout.
IND then added a host of BMW Performance parts, ranging from the
- BMW Performance front splitters and lip (which IND painted gloss black)
- M performance side skirts (also painted gloss black at IND)
- a carbon diffuser, M performance exhaust
- LED steering wheel
- and shift knob cover and trim.
IND’s cosmetic package as always eliminates the original trim items in favor of beautiful gloss black pieces. Carbon mirror caps accompany the carbon splitters and diffuser to maintain a consistent feel. IND added a BBS FI-R wheel package in gloss black with Advan AD08R tires in a 275 front and 295 rear size for excellent handling balance. A Fall Line oil cooler guard was added for peace of mind when driving the car aggressively. Finally, to complete the GTS feel, IND reached out to our friends at Motorsport 24 in Germany to add a rear wing in carbon fiber which matched the GTS in personality.
Although there is now an official M4 GTS offering from BMW, this Fire Orange M4 will always stand on its own in evoking the Motorsport inspired feel many M owners pursue. We at IND were fortunate to see this gorgeous M4 in person, and are happy to share these images with the BimmerPost audience. Enjoy the photos!
