Ignition Motor Group’s M3 SMG2

27 Jul, 2011

Masafumi Uda is no stranger to the automotive scene; as the owner of Ignition Motor Group in Osaka, Japan he is very accustomed to dealing with high end performance products. Apart from being a platinum dealer for Japanese VIP Modular Wheels, HRE and other brands like 360Forged he is a true tuner at heart and has been one of the key people in the custom car scene in Japan. Masafumi's E46 M3 not only needed to showcase his company but also needed to be the type of vehicle that others look up to in both style and performance. Similar to JDM tuners in North America, some Japanese tuners like Masafumi make changes to the rarer USDM counterparts like headlights, mirrors and visors. The exterior of the E46 received stand-out upgrades like a Strassentech carbon fiber front lip and Asuka Designs carbon hood and trunk. To help expel the exhaust of the M3, Masafumi chose a HPF Titanium Exhaust System which not only performs great but reduces weight in the process, braking was also upgraded courtesy of Rotora. If the exterior alone did not grab your attention then the VIP Modular Wheels certainly did; these 19" VRS-013 wheels with Dubai Gold centers and highly polished lips draw attention anywhere he goes.
