BMW F80 M3 × Avant Garde F541 SPEC1

As a high-end paint and collision repair specialist, Tanner’s Customs in Kansas City makes no sacrifice when it comes to their personal shop builds. This BMW F80 M3 is a perfect example of that dedication.

When it comes to ultimate performance sedans, the BMW M3 is always the first car to pop into everyone’s mind, from the E90 to today’s F80. Not wanting to sacrifice the countless hours of engineering that went into the OEM M adaptive suspension, Tanner’s Customs went with lowering springs for a more aggressive stance without sacrificing ride quality, accented with a few carbon-fiber parts to enhance the OEM+ styling.

Wheels can be the most significant visual and performance modification, and for the discerning customer who won’t make sacrifices, a custom three-piece forged wheel is the only way to go. As we individually engineer and machine each wheel in-house at our California headquarters, we built the F541 in a SPEC1 configuration, concave faces with stepped lips and a slight directional twist, an updated take on the classic mesh wheel. Tanner’s Customs chose Gloss Black centers with Polished Liquid Bronze hardware and lips and a Matte Black powder-coated inner barrel. As they put it: “I’ve owned my share of custom wheels in the past and I’m pretty positive this set is going to be my favorite.”
