Maybe they make exceptions for BMW or for their M Division products since Canadian wrap specialists Restyle IT were confronted with this one.

The owner apparently wants his BMW 1 Series M Coupe to stand out somewhat more than usual. The city of the affair isn’t known.

Regardless, it’s quite interesting to consider the northern country so overcrowded by BMW 1 Series M Coupe models that they’re starting to look alike.

Restyle IT went for a full wrap, leaving the whole of the car’s exterior in white and the roof now gets carbon fiber. The same exotic material is used for the side view mirrors.

White seems to be very in these days but I’m afraid I just don’t see it working with the 1M. Still, there’s not that much to chose from at BMW.

Restyle didn’t stop there. They did leave the exterior of the car pretty much unaltered apart from what we’ve already mentioned and then turned their attention to the interior.

Carbon fiber is once again present except this time it’s fake. Restyle IT did actually take care of it but they opted for foil.

There’s a nice effect going on with the dashboard of the 1 Series M Coupe and that typical BMW center console looks pretty good when it’s all carbon.

Too bad it’s not real, right?

Naturally, I had to pay attention when a couple of custom car aficionados decided to take an F10 BMW 5 Series and give it some retro coloring.

I will accept that it’s not the one look that everybody agrees with but the I really believe the finished product has something SEMA about itself.

Diamond Black Exteriors are the guys behind this product and I’m suddenly a fan. Not only did they get the colors right (in my mind), they managed to silence a few critics.

All those guys who keep on describing the F10 as a humorless machine because of its well defined presence and its rather sober exterior look can now shut up.

No photocopier sales king would have a purple F10 5 Series and not even plenty of tuning fans be proud of the way their new car is purple. I like that.

Moving on, there are a few tweaks to consider alongside the new purple wrap. The grey and black accents do keep a tad of balance on the look.

A set of Concavo CW-S5 20 inch wheels are thrown into the mix alongside an ECU remap, a new exhaust system and a sports suspension setup.

It’s pretty clear that I love it, what about you guys? Are you on board with a little bit of flash in an otherwise mundane situation?

That’s quite a rare thing in China, a place where what really matters is just how much space you have in the back of your luxury car.

Furthermore, the company responsible for making the 3 Series Coupe is BMW-Brilliance. There’s no heavy tuner name involved at all.

What really matters here is the exterior look of the car. We’re guessing it’s not a DIY job and that the owner did get some help in making it happen.

As is fashionable nowadays, this E92 BMW 3 Series Coupe was not painted but wrapped in vinyl. The color of choice is Baby Blue.

That’s a risky choice to say the least. The name is obviously a pathetic one but the look of the car is the overall look.

The lines of the BMW 3 Series Coupe remain unharmed, the lack of shine doesn’t ruin the shading they create and the exclusivity is something worth while.

There’s a bit of a concern with the way this car stands out. BMW products are genuinely supposed to have a somewhat distinct presence but they should also be understated.

That’s something that really went away when it got wrapped in baby blue and it started to stand out in a crowd in the same way a tank does at a Greenpeace car park.

I don’t think it works, i don’t think it works at all, but maybe there are people out there who think otherwise.

This must be how a Lithuanian driver justifies his attempt at tweaking his E70 BMW X5 in order to live with owning it without the typical shame.

Either that, or he just wanted to get a certain cool air about his car and I’m misjudging him too nicely in how he made up his mind.

He got help from a company called Re-Styling who wrapped the exterior of his Bavarian SUV in the ever more popular vinyl wrap.

The color choice in question is not that much similar to the ever more popular wraps and paint schemes. The matte black effect has been used before, but not like this.

The idea of calling the car stealthy has a bit of a point since the Lithuanian… tuner didn’t stop with the body panels of the E70 BMW X5.

We’re looking at the alloy wheels, the plastic bumpers, the door handles and just about any place they could find. Factor in the black tinted windows and the desired effect is achieved.

There’s just now way one can see this car at night and, during the day, there’s just now way somebody can see you in it.

It seems then that the overkill wrapping from Re-Styling may have payed off in my fantasy world and still works decently in the world.

While the idea and branding may not be the most honest and true words in the world, the Cam Shaft tuning BMW M3 Coupe that’s supposed to have some this tuning is pretty interesting.

The German tuner started their work with the now on its last legs E92 BMW M3 Coupe and made a few modifications to the looks without messing about with the performance.

Some say that’s not a good idea but if you really know how good the standard BMW M3 is, maybe you can appreciate the need to stand out more than the need for more speed.

They may have fitted an Akrapovic exhaust system with new cats but that’s mostly done for the sound effect rather than anything else.

Some additional carbon fiber trim pieces go on but the weight loss is so small it will be all washed away if you grab a jacket with you.

The only slight worry is the fact that Cam Shaft tuning claim to have fitted some sort of sportier suspension bits which almost certainly means they’ve spoiled the ride quality altogether.

Hey, at least you have an excuse to go slow since the exterior is on show-off mode all the time with its metallic space gray vinyl wrap and its new 19 inch BBS alloy wheels.

The exterior changes add up to just over 3200 USD however there’s no mention on the cost of the exhaust or the suspension.

Truth be told, I’m not sure which ones they are and I couldn’t really care since the images we have here don’t just star a custom BMW M3.

They star a hot E92 getting hotter as it’s hooned about in front of a camera in all of its Matte Red finish and black details beauty.

Who did the matte red? Is it a paint or vinyl wrap job? Who provided the can of black paint needed for details like the alloy wheels?

I’m not sure you’re paying attention to what I’m saying here. Those are mere details and don’t really matter right now.

The important thing is that a Canadian photographer called George Bucur managed to capture the essence of fun in owning such a car without putting people at risk.

It’s not eve a closed off private track that’s being used for the event. Everything seems to have taken place at some sort of industrial park.

Love the smokey back end shots, love the one near the water reservoir but hate one thing about this particular custom E92 BMW M3.

Why on earth would you black out the rear lights? That, to me, is the most questionable kind of tuning ever and it strikes me more to know there are now window tints.

So you’re not sure about the visibility you have in traffic but you’re almost certain to hamper the one of other road users…
