E90 E92 M3 Needed for Borla exhaust R&D

HP Autowerks, Inc. works closely with Borla Performance Industries on developing exhaust systems for your BMW and other fine German automobiles.

We are currently looking for E9X M3 (Both coupe and Sedan are needed, but coupe is Borla's priority) owners who would allow HP Autowerks/Borla to use their vehicle(s) for exhaust developement.

What you will get is a free exhaust system from Borla. A bit of downside is we will need your vehicle for 2-3 weeks for the R&D.

Please contact us if this is something you will be interested in doing.

Cars won't be in owner's hands until the end of March.
Would be tough to give up your brand new car for 2-3 weeks in April.

If just one person who is willing to do that, then we will have a nice Borla exhaust system available for everyone.

let me get back to you on that...

I'd sooner send my daughter alone to a frat party at 2:00 a.m.

It might be entertaining to see some video footage of the "R&D" shot from a "hidden in-car surveillance camera."

But would your daughter come back with a free exhaust? ....and 2500 misc. miles on her?

I think I'd rather mass inhale ether and pass out in a prison shower than do this....at least inside the first few months.
