In the presence of giants- IND's M4 visits Fall Line Motorsports

IND-Distribution · 01-19-2015, 02:13 PM

Having installed the brand new 3D Design aero kit on IND's M4, we stopped by Fall Line Motorsports to plan the next steps for our M car. We managed to capture some images while discussing suspension packages for IND's clients. We were honored to be in the presence of so much racing prowess, and feel truly lucky to be partnered with Fall Line. The ability to offer our clients the combination of IND's street performance expertise along with Fall Line's setup, alignment, and race engineering experience is a privilege for us at IND.

IND's M4 is currently using KW's Variant 3 coilovers, HRE R101 wheels in 18", and Brembo's 380mm GT kit to complete the new look and feel offered by our Eisenmann exhaust and 3D Design aero kit.

Enjoy the photos!

BMW AG are in the wrong game.... They should stop selling cars, and just sell carbon fibre bits.

Sell 1 M3, or sell 11 bodykits? Same revenue, but about 5000x better net profit margin

Is this new IND spoiler for M4?

You're absolutely right about the profit margin but if you don't sell cars, where are you going to attach the lips to?!

The same is true for every fashion brand (Coach, Chanel... All the way up to Tom Ford, Givenchy, YSL, etc.). They make good margins on leather goods and clothing but a killing in perfume and accessories. Why? Because they're selling the allure. Their $50 metal charms are 99% profit because they're selling the brand's allure. The key is keep improving your halo product (whether it's the M6 GC or a handbag) so the allure is never gone. The same is largely true for BMW Performance parts; the fact that your M3 is special and has bits of CF lets the whole world know you have better taste than the average pleb.

Perhaps my Australian, largely sarcastic and somewhat facetious humour doesn't translate very well

Good on 3D Designs for putting out very nice products. I honestly hope they sell well, as the more aftermarket options we have to choose from the better!!!

Thank you! These wheels were sized specifically for the SEMA show, and have a 10.5" rear width with a +25mm offset. I would not use that size for a production fitment as it limits your rear tire width slightly.

I can put together an even better offset for our clients, which allows the use of a 295 width rear tire. I can PM you more info, if you'd like.

Correct! The build quality of these parts is literally bar none the highest I've seen among aftermarket carbon components.

Thank you! To be honest, I spent quite a bit of time looking at the 3D Design M4 components when they first arrived at IND. The build quality is literally second to none, and I say with some regret that there is absolutely no way that I could build these pieces for this price in the US. Each component is of pre-preg autoclaved construction and uses a great deal of plies, many separate components, and complex tooling. I am frankly a bit surprised that 3D could build these items and sell them for these MSRPs.
