BUILD JOURNAL: A SPECIAL SERIES

The original AoA wing of BMW M.

Over the last 2 years, I have juggled with the idea of putting a wing on my E92 M3: Mk2 GT2, OE style GTS, M240iR

Which would it be?

In this Special Series, I cover all the BMW M wing options.

I document the original BMW M development, the adjustments made to these replica designs by Silvano and my unboxing impressions.

Cheers,
- Matt / @m3_epoustouflant

Unboxing impressions

In this entry, I finally make up my mind on wing selection for the E92 M3. I went full circle and sourced a GTS carbon wing, yet it still missed an OEM touch
