Words by IND: Gruppe M’s Mamoru Ogose has dedicated his life to European sports car racing. Since 1996, Gruppe M has constructed and supported BMW, Porsche, and Ferrari competition cars in Japanese club racing, FIA GT, LMES, and ALMS. Gruppe M’s dedication to creating parts that are both functionally beautiful and aesthetically pleasing makes the company a pleasure to work with.
Today, we’re proud to announce our installation of the world’s first Gruppe M intake on our IND F82 M4 demo car. The beautifully crafted carbon fiber intake arrived at IND just days before our M4 was to ship to BimmerFest, and while we have not had an opportunity to dyno test the intake just yet, we were very happy to see the ease with which the components fit together, and enjoy the extra induction road along with the beautiful appearance of the intake parts in our M4’s engine bay.
Enjoy the photos!
