Flashback - MODE BMW E92 M3 | Project E9X 'LB WORKS'
'Project LB Works' was a concept build initiated in 2015 by the MODE team to explore an alternative automotive styling and tuning approach in the Australian market. It aimed to introduce products, brands, and modification techniques uncommon in the region.
Selecting a Space Grey Metallic E92 M3 Competition Pack with factory carbon fiber roof and MDCT transmission, the team meticulously dismantled and reconstructed the vehicle with a full LB Works widebody kit from Waturo Kato of Liberty Walk in Japan, alongside sizable 20x11 and 20x13 custom forged 3-piece wheels, and various other modifications. The objective was to craft a vehicle rarely encountered outside venues like SEMA in Las Vegas or Tokyo Auto Salon in Japan.
MODE Project E9X 'LB WORKS' Modifications
Carefully curated modifications sourced from around the world were combined to craft a truly unique and one of a kind BMW, showcasing the dynamic characteristics of BMW M cars and this particular model the E92 M3. It's crucial to emphasize that this vehicle was purposefully constructed for product display and show purposes exclusively, and does not represent a street-ready build for an individual client.
