Waqas’ 1998 BMW E36 M3
(Byzanz Metallic)

A rare and striking color that’s hard to come by was beginning to show its age until Alex meticulously worked his magic on every inch of this beauty. A harsh clunk from the rear end during clutch release pointed to worn differential bushings, so we replaced the brittle, cracked originals with a durable set of AKG poly bushings. While it was in our care, we also took the time to track down and restore a few missing interior pieces, bringing the cabin back to its full glory.

(Brilliant Rot)

A stunning E34 M5 in Brilliant Rot red over a classic black interior, sitting proudly on the iconic and highly sought-after Style 21 “Throwing Star” wheels—an absolute timeless masterpiece. The legendary S38 engine, known for its performance and rarity, presented a significant challenge when sourcing parts. However, thanks to our extensive network, we successfully tracked down everything needed to bring this M5 into the modern era, ensuring it’s as reliable as it is beautiful.

Jeff’s 1995 BMW E36 M3
(Dakar Yellow)

Dakar Yellow truly is Da “Kar” for us. This vibrant first-year E36 M3 spent most of its life under the relentless Texas sun, leaving its paint and interior weathered from years of exposure. Fortunately for Jeffrey, the team at RMUSA stepped in to bring this gem back to life. With meticulous paint correction, interior restoration, and mechanical care, we gave this classic the attention it deserved to shine once again.

Jon’s 1989 BMW E30 325is

This stunning late-model E30 coupe delivered one of the most satisfying before-and-after transformations we could hope for. After a thorough detailing, it gleamed like new. On the mechanical side, we addressed a few harsh driving issues by replacing worn mounts and driveline components, ensuring it drives as smoothly as it looks.

Niko’s 1996 BMW 328i
(Alpine White)

2000 BMW E39 M5

Who can resist the allure of Alpine White? This stunning classic belongs to Niko, who had been eagerly awaiting the chance to own his first E36 for years. When he found this one, he knew it was the perfect fit. After purchasing parts from RMUSA South one evening, he was so impressed with the facility that he decided it was the ideal place to bring his E36 for several crucial repairs. These included a window regulator, oil pan gasket, driveshaft center support bearing, and much more, ensuring his car is running smoothly and ready for the road.

After inheriting her father’s cherished E39 M5, Wynter sought out a shop to breathe new life into this legendary machine. We got to work, replacing several worn gaskets and performing a complete overhaul of the brake and clutch systems. To top it off, we carried out a meticulous paint correction and updated the exterior lighting, leaving this M5 refreshed and ready for countless miles and smiles ahead.

(Oxford Green)

After 29 years with the stock drivetrain, Jon decided to give this car the M stripes it deserves. Achieved by swapping the tired M50 for a refreshed low-mileage S52 from a 1999 BMW M3. Paired to a manual 5- speed transmission with Supersprint long-tube headers and a full custom stainless exhaust, not only does this S52 now sing, but it also pulls hard!

Rory’s 1998 BMW E36 M3
(Cosmosschwarz Metallic)

This black-on-black M3 coupe is a near-pristine example of automotive excellence, featuring a stunning set of Style 24 wheels and an impressive pair of Vader seats. We gave this beauty the attention it deserves, performing a complete refresh of the cooling and belt drive systems, along with a comprehensive overhaul of the front and rear suspension. Additionally, chassis reinforcements were expertly welded in-house by Jerry from Fish Fab. To top it all off, we dialed in a custom alignment designed to maximize cornering grip and handling performance.

Bobby's 1998 BMW E36 M3

This 1998 M3 Coupe, finished in classic Hellrot over black, has been proudly owned by Bobby for the past decade. A few years ago, he began encountering a mysterious issue around 4,000 RPM that left even some of the most reputable shops scratching their heads. After an extensive diagnostic journey, we finally cracked the code and returned the car to Bobby, running better than ever. With a fully refreshed fuel system, new engine and differential mounts, and a host of upgrades—including a 3.38 Limited Slip Differential—this S52-powered beast is now running flawlessly and ready to tackle whatever comes its way.

Colton is the proud owner of this stunning 1996 E36 328i, finished in striking Hellrot Red over a tan interior. Unfortunately, this well-loved survivor spent far too much time in and out of various shops, with no guarantee of reliability… leaving it to sit unused for months at a time. When Alex heard about Colton’s frustration, he was determined to breathe new life into this cherished ride. Through a series of mechanical repairs and performance enhancements, we’ve returned Colton’s pride and joy to its former glory, ensuring it’s as dependable as it is beautiful.

Colt’s 1996 BMW 328i (Hellrot)

Finished in Estoril paint over Dove interior came to us seeking some basic maintenance but upon inspection we noticed it needed some attention to the suspension. We installed fresh shocks and struts all around, as well as replaced a front wheel bearing. This M3 is now driving better than ever!

Tony's 1995 325i Convertible

Shortly after purchasing, Tony brought us his 1995 325i Convertible and although a rust free car from Arizona, there was a major oil leak from a failed oil pan gasket. In order to remove the oil pan, the complete front suspension must be removed. We took this opportunity to replace the factory oil pump nut with an upgraded drilled nut with a wire to tie the nut so that it cannot loosen, causing catastrophic engine failure. This is a common cause of engine failure on 24 valve BMW engines that are commonly operated at high engine revolutions.

Yosimar's E30

Yosimar’s BMW E30 arrived at our shop in the spring, freshly painted and ready to hit the road for the summer. However, a worn and leaking factory steering rack threatened to keep it sidelined. Rather than simply replace it, we upgraded the car with an E36 M3 steering rack — a tighter, quicker setup that delivers improved precision, control, and confidence during spirited driving. The result is a classic E30 that now feels more responsive and engaging, perfectly matching its refreshed exterior with performance to match.

Jon’s 1985 BMW M535i

Jon’s 1985 BMW M535i is a rare Euro-spec model — a true enthusiast’s car that was never officially sold in the United States. This imported classic embodies the spirit of BMW’s golden era of performance sedans. Our work focused on enhancing its drivability and reliability while maintaining its originality. We replaced some components in the shifter assembly for a more precise and engaging driving experience, and completed a series of essential maintenance services to ensure this M535i continues to deliver the smooth, responsive feel that defines BMW’s heritage of engineering excellence.

John Michael’s 1996 BMW 318ti

John Michael’s 1996 BMW 318ti Cali Top stands out as a clean, well-preserved example of BMW’s compact hatchback design. As his first car, the goal has always been simplicity and reliability — a driver that can be enjoyed without worry. Aside from a few suspension components this 318ti has required no major repairs, a testament to both its solid condition and consistent care. With its rare California retractable roof and dependable character, it’s a perfect balance of practicality and classic BMW charm.

Imran’s 1990 BMW E30 Sedan came to us in need of serious mechanical attention after its original engine had reached the end of its life. To give this classic a new chapter, we installed the S50b30 engine found only in 1995 M3s. Imran supplied a used low milage engine which we inspected and refreshed prior to the installation of the engine. The entire process was completed in just two weeks, with every step documented and shared on our YouTube channel. Now back on the road, Imran continues to daily drive and enjoy his E30 — a perfect blend of classic style and modern M power.

Trevor’s 1996 BMW 318is

Trevor’s 1996 BMW 318is is a beautifully preserved example of an E36 in exceptional, low-mileage condition. Sitting on original BMW Style 21 Throwing Star wheels and KW coilovers, it perfectly balances classic styling with a tasteful performance stance. Our work focused on keeping this pristine coupe as reliable as it is clean — performing a complete tune-up, power steering hose replacement, and essential maintenance services to ensure everything operates as smoothly as the day it left the factory.

Jeff’s 1989 BMW E30 M3

Jeff’s 1989 BMW E30 M3 is a truly extraordinary machine — powered by a BMW S85 V10 paired with a 6-speed manual transmission, finished in Diamond Schwarz over black interior. This one-of-a-kind build combines the raw character of the iconic E30 chassis with the exhilarating performance of BMW’s modern M powerplant. The car came to us for a comprehensive interior and exterior detail, as well as a thorough mechanical inspection to ensure everything was performing as it should. Having a vehicle of this caliber and craftsmanship in our shop was an absolute honor — a perfect representation of passion, engineering, and artistry all in one.

Noah’s 1996 BMW M3 Coupe

Finished in the timeless Techno Violet over black interior, captures the perfect balance of performance and sophistication that defines the E36 M3. To elevate both its stance and style, we sourced an authentic set of AC Schnitzer Type 2 wheels directly from Europe, fitted them with new tires, and completed precise suspension setup in-house. The result is a perfectly composed M3 that pairs period-correct aesthetics with modern refinement — a car that looks as exceptional as it drives.

Finished in Imola Red over black interior, is an exceptional low-mileage example showing just 53,000 miles. After spending nearly eight years tucked away in storage, this M3 was brought to us for a complete mechanical refresh to restore its performance and reliability. The work included a full Beisan Systems VANOS rebuild with upgraded components to ensure long-term durability and optimal power delivery. Now fully revitalized, this E46 M3 once again delivers the sharp, engaging driving experience that defines one of BMW’s most celebrated M cars.

Tom’s 2003 E46 M3

A remarkably well-preserved E30 with just 90,000 original miles, recently purchased from its original owner. To refine and modernize the driving dynamics while staying true to its heritage, we performed a complete shifter overhaul featuring a Z3 shift lever, along with new transmission output shaft seals and mounts to restore smooth operation. The chassis was further enhanced with AKG Motorsports suspension bushings, tightening up handling and bringing back the signature precision the E30 is known for.

Chong’s 1991 BMW 325is ‘BIMMERR’

Originally finished in Dakar Yellow, is a true standout and a well-known local legend. Owned and refined by Tim for over 14 years, this M3 has gone through numerous evolutions — each one building on his vision of performance and individuality. Featuring an authentic Rocket Bunny widebody kit and custom wheels, it perfectly balances aggressive styling with attention to detail. The car visited our shop for a VANOS system diagnosis, which we documented and shared on our YouTube channel. It’s always an honor to work on a car with such history, passion, and personality behind it.

Tim’s 1998 BMW M3 Coupe

Finished in Daytona Violet over black interior, is a unique example that’s been upgraded with an S52 engine swap, giving it a modern touch of performance while retaining the classic character of the E36 chassis. When it arrived, our focus was on refining and correcting a few details from the previous work to ensure everything met our standards. We also set up the parking brake system and dialed in the suspension, bringing the car back to a confident, well-balanced driving experience. The result is a properly sorted M3 that blends power, precision, and timeless style.
