How to Build the Perfect E92 M3 - Introducing Ericsson
In Ben Schaffer's The Real JDM, Company News and Press Releases
The answer…give it to Amuse and let them build it into the halo car for their new BMW tuning brand Ericsson.
In 2008 Bulletproof Automotive Introduces Ericsson to North America! Here’s why…
One of the most impressive things I saw at Tokyo Auto Salon was the unveiling of Ericsson and their first two vehicles, a E92 M3 and a E60 M5. Tanabe-san’s M5 was already well known by me and I was already a huge fan of his exhaust system for that car…but the new M3 blew my mind. Usually even with the top tuning companies there are a couple of things that I would change about each car…often small things, but usually I can find something. The E92 M3 by Ericsson was 100% perfect in my eyes. So much so that I renewed my vows with Amuse. Bulletproof will being distributing Amuse products a lot more heavily this year and we’ll be introducing Ericsson to the USA.
I stand behind this new brand 100%. Here’s why:
-My favorite exhaust factory Nippon Steel produces their full titanium exhausts (I’ve had 4 of Nippon Steel’s exhausts on my S2000, so you know I love them…I’m getting my 5th one-off version air shipped in a couple of weeks)
-My favorite dry carbon manufacturer (I’m going to leave out their name) in Japan is contracted to do all of Amuse’s / Ericsson’s dry carbon parts. The quality is rediculously good.
-My favorite FRP factory is employed by Amuse to produce all of their fiberglass parts (although most of their stuff is only offered in dry carbon). This factory is the same factory responsible for the amazing OEM fitment of Kenstyle’s aero parts.
-Tanabe-san knows how to design and build a car incredibly well and he’s one of the best in the business. His design philosophy is directly in line with my own and represents what I love:
The indisputable and incomparable advantage of weight reduction, the usability of a daily driver, classic designs based on performance and usable functionality, and extreme attention to detail of not only design but manufacturing quality.
The pictures will blow your mind. All are high resolution for you to download.

Power House Amuse + Dry Carbon Parts Manufacturer = ___ ? (yes)
LOL, awfully secretive arent’ we?
It wasn’t hard to figure out, some nice photos of that project they collaborated on a few years ago are on their website. Every aero kit they produce just oozes quality, doesn’t it?
(I hope my comments were esoteric enough.)
Yeah Jay…some things I like being special and behind the scenes. Gotta keep the good suppliers out of the bad guys hands. Ya know…For those in the know like you, its good to know that info, but I dont like it being public.
The quality is sick. I love it all. I had the Amuse dry carbon hood on my car back in the day…it was crazy.
Wow! I never really liked the E92 M3 until now. What Amuse/Ericcson has done is absolutely amazing! I look forward to seeing what’s in store next.
Hey Josh, that was the exact same thing I said when I first saw it! I was blown away…especially since I think the E92 M3 is not too impressive looking in factory form. For the past 6 months I’ve been thinking of how to make the front end of the E92 look good…I couldnt figure it out, but this is perhaps the best it could ever look in my opinion.
how much would this cost me?
Hello Gregory, the price is not yet released. The debut of the parts was only two weeks ago and they have not entered into production yet. As soon as the price is released we’ll publish pricing on http://www.bulletproofautomotive.com on each product’s page under the BMW section.
In the meantime, some customers are already ordering now by giving deposit. You can always call Bulletproof if you’d like to order by deposit. 213 745 6954 is the #.
