This stunning Auratium Green BMW G87 M2 is the latest creation from IND Distribution, a renowned name in the BMW tuning world. Based in the United States, IND has spent the last two decades delivering some of the most exciting and visually striking BMW builds, giving enthusiasts a steady stream of head-turning cars. This particular G87 M2 serves as a showcase for their full performance catalog, featuring a comprehensive suite of premium aftermarket performance and visual upgrades, making it a top-tier, head-to-toe aftermarket build.
In the world of high-performance compact coupes, the BMW G82 M2 immediately commands attention with its formidable specifications. Its twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter S58 inline-six produces 473 horsepower at 6,350 rpm and 600 Nm of torque from 2,600 to 5,950 rpm—matching the standard G82 M4. Drivers can choose between a 6-speed manual or an 8-speed automatic gearbox, with blistering acceleration: 0–100 km/h in just 4.2 seconds with the manual, or 4.0 seconds with the 8-speed DCT. These numbers make it the perfect canvas for IND’s latest masterpiece: the breathtaking Auratium Green G87 M2.
Transformation into Auratium Green
Finished initially in Zandvoort Blue, the car underwent a complete IND Individual Respray in Auratium Green. The color, both bold and historic, became the cornerstone of the build. Every detail was carefully addressed, including an IND Painted Trunk Emblem and Roundel Set in gloss black and the IND x Acexxon G87 Reflector Cosmetic Package, which cleans up the factory lighting elements. Together, these refinements gave the M2 a new identity, a striking blend of vintage character and modern aggression.
Engine Bay with One-Off Details
Open the hood, and the build’s craftsmanship is undeniable. IND partnered with Eventuri to deliver a Yellow Kevlar Intake System and a Yellow Kevlar Engine Cover with a BMW M Power decal, both finished in satin clear. Contrasting gloss carbon elements, such as the Eventuri Intake Scoops and CSL Carbon Strut Brace, complete the presentation. Supporting hardware includes an Indiv Dry Carbon Cooling Shroud and ECU Cover, along with a full suite of MMX billet aluminum caps, oil filter housing, and drain plug. The CSF G8X Cooling Package ensures thermal stability on track, while the MMX Power Control Module extracts additional performance safely. Even finer touches, such as the MMX Differential Output Shaft Heat Shield and Front Wheel Arch Clearance Kit, underline the meticulous approach. Every component is both functional and visually harmonized.
Exhaust and Sound
The build’s mechanical enhancements extend to sound. The Eisenmann Black Series Exhaust with Center Pipe and Carbon Tips delivers a deep, aggressive tone that matches the M2’s personality. The black ceramic finish of the system complements the Auratium Green bodywork and satin carbon detailing, ensuring that performance and aesthetics are equally considered.
Satin Carbon Finish Makes The Exterior Upgrades Shine Even More
IND’s exterior work redefines the car’s proportions and presence. Nearly every component was refinished in satin clear carbon for a uniform, understated texture. The list includes an Alpha-N Carbon Front Lip and Splitter (Class 3), Brake Backing Plates, Clubsport Hood with satin vents, and Front V4 Carbon Fenders with liners and aero blades. At the rear, the Alpha-N Carbon Fixed Wing (Class 3) and Rear Diffuser with Underbody Floor Kit bring authentic motorsport influence, while the Front Center Bumper Trim with mesh ties together the aggressive front fascia. OEM-plus elements like the BMW M Performance Carbon Air Inlets integrate seamlessly, and the BMW Motorsport M4 GT3 EVO Mirrors with custom paint push the build firmly into racing territory. The factory carbon roof was wrapped in Xpel Stealth PPF, visually blending with the satin carbon elsewhere for a cohesive finish.
Aero and Motorsport Touches
Aero was not left to chance. The 3D Design Carbon Side Skirt Set, finished in satin clear, sharpens the profile while channeling airflow. For real-world usability, an Acexxon Front Lip Protector was installed, preserving the splitter without disrupting the look. Together, these details highlight the careful balance between form and function that defines the project.
Wheels and Tires
Few components transform a car like wheels. IND selected BBS FI-R EVO wheels in a staggered 19/20-inch setup, finished in striking Citrine Gold. Each wheel underwent precision engineering and grain-structure testing to ensure strength and reduced unsprung mass. Wrapped in Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2R tires, the package delivers serious grip for both track and spirited street use. BBS Floating Center Caps painted in Auratium Green tie the wheels to the body color, while MMX Performance Wheel Spacers in 12 mm and 18 mm refine the stance to perfection.
Suspension and Chassis Precision
The chassis received a comprehensive overhaul to match the power and grip. KW V4 Clubsport Coilovers with EDC cancellation provide three-way adjustability for rebound, low-speed compression, and high-speed compression, giving the driver control over every variable. IND complemented this with a suite of Fall-Line components: the Front Monoball Conversion, Adjustable Race Toe Arms, Rear Lower Tension Arms, Rear Lower Control Arm Bearings, and RUCA and RLCA Cup Subframe Bearings. Together, they deliver sharper feedback and improved durability. A Future Classic Titanium Stud Conversion Kit adds reliability for track-side changes, and a Goodridge Stainless Brake Line Set enhances pedal response.
Braking Confidence
To keep the performance in check, braking was upgraded with the MMX Performance G8X 2-Piece Floating Carbon-Ceramic Brake Kit, paired with Pagid pads. The setup reduces unsprung weight while providing fade-free performance under repeated heavy braking, a necessity for track use and spirited canyon drives alike.
Interior Transformation
Inside, the M2 reflects both motorsport focus and IND’s attention to detail. A Clubsport Rollcage by Alpha-N and Schroth 6-Point Racing Harnesses bring racing authenticity. Drivers sit in Recaro Podium CF Seats with PCI Mounts, upholstered in tartan for a nod to classic motorsport heritage. A Custom 917 Shift Knob with tartan boot and Alcantara armrest works alongside a Rogue Engineering Octane Short Shift Kit, while a MadTrace Racing Steering Wheel System V2 completes the driver interface. A CANchecked Multi Function Display keeps vital information in view, supported by subtle details such as the BMW M Performance Pedal Set, BMW 50-Year Heritage LED Door Projectors, Studie iDrive8 Screen Protector, and Carbonex Aluminum Hood Latch Handle. Each addition enhances the interior’s usability while elevating its motorsport character.
Hardware, Lighting, and Accessories
Final touches ensure the build is complete from every angle. A Carbonex Magnetic Rear Plate Mount with IND plate frame maintains the clean exterior, while a Goldenwrench x IND Blackline Washer Fluid Cap in Cerakote Black adds refinement under the hood. Lighting was enhanced with the Motorsport+ CSL Yellow DRL Module Conversion, giving the front fascia a dramatic and unmistakable signature.
The Essence of IND’s DNA
The Auratium Green BMW G87 M2 by IND is more than a custom project. It is a carefully orchestrated vision that blends performance, style, and precision into one unified statement. Starting with the factory 480 PS and 600 Nm of the G82 M2, IND layered in one-off details, curated aero, and motorsport-grade hardware to create a car that is as capable as it is beautiful. Every choice, from the satin carbon exterior to the tartan-trimmed Recaro seats, reflects IND’s philosophy: elevate the original without overwhelming it. The result is a machine that captures attention for its color, dominates with its performance, and stands as a showcase of IND’s mastery in the art of automotive transformation.
