This company is called Japan Skipper and it’s starting to get pretty hard to figure out where it’s based at or where it’s originating from.

All jokes aside, the Japanese tuner came up with a pretty acceptable package for one of our favorite cars. There really is nothing to give it away.

It’s not really a riced up, overly exaggerated-trinket-loaded machine that would actually create the perfect scenario for some bad jokes.

It’s also not a completely murdered out vehicle that would be of any use to, erm, associations such as the Yakuza and whoever their rivals competitors might be.

In fact, this particular 5 Series Japan Skipper tuned wouldn’t be fitting for any criminal organization. While it comes with the M Sport package, the engine isn’t the biggest one around.

Being based of the F10 BMW 523i, it comes with power from a 2.0 liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine which burns gasoline to the tune of 185 horsepower.

Given the new enormous, forged alloy wheels and the Nitto tires it was fitted with, we’d assume this Bavarian blooded sedan was actually developed for going very slow.

Going fast is a cliche and the Japanese don’t really bill themselves as major fans of high speed runs. That is unless of course you own a tuned car.

Which isn’t what a 5 Series from Japan Skipper is, it’s more of a tweaked machine, really.

Well, the Asians working for Studie AG certainly seem to be in on the sport. They’re currently working on an F30 328i project car and they’re also taking on something more impressive.

Not the bigger brother, the bigger, better, faster brother that is the F10 BMW M5. The recipe hasn’t changed too much in between.

The exterior doesn’t get too many mods and there seems to be a lot of options in the alloy wheel department. Maybe they’re probing the field or maybe the want to offer the lot.

The important thing about the new wheels is that they’re all stunning. 20 or 21 inch rollers always have a presence to show off but it’s the selection Studie have is among the best.

Maybe the fact that big names in the business such as Advan and AC Schnitzer are involved. The latter is also the company making the new body kit tweaks.

Under the Frozen Silver paintjob that is specific for the F10 M5 the sharpened lines feel right at home. New wheels and lines are highlighted by the lowered suspension as well.

Unlike the F30, the F10 BMW M5 gets a KW Clubsports setup which offers mostly the same effect in terms of looks but feels better in terms of performance.

After all, if the 328i allows for a few compromises here and there, a super sports sedan is much more focused than that.

There are good and bad sides to this equation. First of all you can’t really get in touch with them since they seem to have an website made out of alien drawings.

As if that wasn’t enough, they’re named like a German company, which is quite easily going to fall victim to confusion and other such problems.

Regardless of these tiny little niggles that would never stop a true petrolhead from getting the toys he wants, the F30 3 Series is actually pretty impressive.

It’s one of those “greatest hits” version of the F30 BMW 3 Series as it gets a bunch of upgrades from various manufacturers of good sounding names.

The rollers are 20 inch Hamann Anniversary EVO wheels or 20 inch limited edition BBS LM, both in a sharp looking black.

Whichever you chose they will be fitted with a set of lowered H&R springs and they’ll even allow you to have the M Sport package without any fuss.

What isn’t very impressive is the fact that the tuner went for the F30 328i. No tuner should ever pick the entry-level version in my mind.

Due to the pricing of cars in Japan, their upkeep and the fact that this package was designed with cost in mind, it seems that Studie AG have a better understanding of their market.

They probably don’t have the same sort of pointless preconceptions that I do.
