APEX: Tell us some details about yourself & your car.
Andre: My name is Andre Pereira. I live in Northern Virginia, about 30 minutes from Washington D.C. Currently my hobby outside of work is just cars. Going to car shows, seeing other people’s builds while maintaining mine. I fell in love with the E92 chassis after seeing a couple of them roll by on the highway. The intoxicating sound of the s65 V8 is just amazing. My car is a 2013 BMW e92 M3 ZCP in Alpine White with fox red extended leather. I am hoping to track my car for the first time this summer.
APEX: What is your current wheel setup?
Andre:
– APEX 18×10” ET25 ARC-8 Wheels in Satin Black – 275/35/18 Toyo R888R Tires – 5mm Front & Rear Spacers
APEX: Why did you choose APEX Wheels over the rest?
Andre: I chose APEX wheels because they are cheap, lightweight with good track proven quality. ARC-8’s look similar to the 359M but with more concavity which I love. I would really love to see the ARC-8’s in 2-piece or 3-piece form.
APEX: What other modifications have been to your car?
Andre:
Performance: – Gintani Engine Burble Tune – Gintani DCT Tune – aFe CF Intake – Custom Catless Full Exhaust – BC Racing DR Series coilovers.
Exterior: – Vorsteiner Carbon Fiber Front Lip – JL-Motoring Carbon Fiber Rear Diffuser – ViS Racing Carbon Fiber Trunk – Carbon Fiber iND Front Grill – Carbon Fiber iND Hood Vents – Carbon Fiber Side Vents – BMW Carbon Fiber Mirrors – Custom Headlights by ONEighty.
Interior: – Pedal Haus Extended DCT Shifter Paddles – AvinUSA Android Headunit
APEX: Where can we follow you?
Andre: You can follow my build on Instagram at @dre.m3
APEX: Do you have any clubs, shops or racing buddies you want to give a shout out to?
Andre: I’d like to give a shout out to my buddy Spiros (Instagram: @greekyogurtgod ) for helping with my car. I’d also like to give a shout out to the team over at RRT Racing (Instagram: @rrtracing) for keeping my M3 in check whenever I can’t do it myself.
