Performance BMW — September 2017

74 PERFORMANCE BMW

“The only issues I had with the styling was
deciding on what exhaust to run, since
the LTMW rear diffuser had a quad outlet
setup,” he explains. “Bryan over at Zury
fabrications listened to what look I was
going for and did the custom quad set up
with the burnt titanium tips,” and we’ve
got to say that they look great. Jeremey
also had the roof wrapped gloss black and
then there are those bold, gold graphics;
“The livery graphics across the sides of my
car were designed and applied by Brandon
Fugitt. I reached out to Brandon and asked
him what he thought of the idea and he
instantly texted me over tons of renders
of ideas, and with a few tweaks we landed
with what you see on my car today. When I
added the graphics it really helped the car

fl ow as it picked up the subtle gold in my
wheels. I would have to say the graphics
are my favourite mod on the whole car,
despite the fact it’s hard to choose one
thing. But the graphics are unique and
something that you don’t see every day or
even on BMWs at all. No matter where I
am at I always get questions about it.” A
modded car is a very personal endeavour
and there are plenty of people who are
not fans of graphics, but at the end of
the day this is Jeremey’s car so he can do
what he wants, and we like them. As for
the interior, it has remained standard, for
the time being at least, but it has not been
forgotten about; “I do have plans to do
some minor tweaking to it such as seat
in-lays and maybe doing a black headliner.

I would kill for a V1 Performance Steering
wheel, despite the fact I would have to
give up my heated steering wheel option,”
says Jeremey.
This is a mighty fi ne machine, a unique
build and it ticks a lot of boxes. It looks
great and it has plenty of power to go with
those aggressive looks; in fact, everything
that Jeremey’s done over the past fi ve
years is all about enhancing the already
extremely capable standard car, building
on the car’s strengths without going
overboard and he’s done an awesome job.
But the car’s not fi nished just yet and he’s
got a few more tricks up his sleeve; “I
plan to change my wheels,” he says, “after
having 19s for so long, I want to switch to
an 18” wheel set up with more sidewall for
a meatier fi tment. I also plan to do a Pure
Turbo upgrade, either stage 1 or 2, leaning
more towards Stage 2 because you can
never have enough power! The graphics
are getting switched out once I land on a
new wheel design and colour. I’ve always
liked the white and gold look, but I’m
thinking something to tie in the carbon
accents now,” he muses and it sounds
like he’s got plenty on the cards to keep
himself busy with for some time to come.
Considering how good the car looks now,
it’s going to be even more special in the
near future ●
