I love it!!

Great point. If you want your SO to look that good you will also need to move to south FL

As we move forward on the M4 build, we are chronicling multiple aspects of the car, including the weight of various components.

We began with the interior pieces.

Stock F8x M3/M4 seat weight is 57.6 lbs or 16.126 kgs each. Rear seat weights coming soon as well!

F82 M4 - Bolt In Roll Bar Development

From the beginning, we knew our "Sakhir Inferno" M4 was going to have plenty of exposure to track events, and in keeping with the motorsport theme we began planning a custom roll bar for added rigidity and rollover protection. One of our many stipulations was that the bar had to be completely bolt-in for easy installation and removal. With the launch of the DTM Safety Car M4 earlier this year, our goal was solidified, and shortly after our M4 arrived we set to work.

Using the M4 Safety Car as a reference, we brought in an expert fabricator to create our own version of the competition roll bar. When tackling a project like this, it helps to have experience on your side, and this person has plenty. The fabricator we contacted has a history of building Grand Am, American Le Mans Series, and Rolex Sports Car Series roll cages with other custom fabrication work.

With the SEMA Show rapidly approaching, our M4 is undergoing significant modification, and this race-spec roll bar will be a major component of this project. Stay tuned for more photos and progress!

That is OK, we got you covered!

Sean@PSI · 09-22-2014, 06:22 PM

Fabrication is now complete!

Modeled after the M4 DTM Safety Car cage with a few PSI tweaks, we incorporated the same gusset structure but smoothed out the joining welds for a cleaner look. Most of the mock up was done in Solidworks to maximize the design and finished look.

It is now at paint and more updates are coming soon!

khanyam4 · 09-22-2014, 10:13 PM

Damn there's goes a 100 plus for the 2 front seats. Can't wait to see the rest.
