Repainted in black, the car wears a fiberglass ducktail spoiler and fender flares and rides on 16″ Borbet alloy wheels accompanied by ST Suspensions front coilovers as well as E46-sourced front and E36-sourced rear disc brakes. Inside, the stripped cabin houses Recaro bucket seats with Schroth harnesses along with a roll bar, a Luisi steering wheel, and an Android-based head unit. Further modifications are said to include a dual-mass flywheel and a Sachs clutch assembly as well as a 200-cell catalytic converter and an Eisenmann muffler.

Finished from the factory in Lachssilber Metallic (203), the body underwent rust repairs and was repainted black as part of the build. Projector-style headlights and fog lights with tinted lenses are equipped up front, while a fiberglass ducktail spoiler is fitted out back. Further details include a front lip spoiler, and black-finished kidney grilles.

The 16″ Borbet alloy wheels are mounted with 215/40 Toyo Proxes tires. Braking is handled by E46-sourced front and E36-sourced rear disc brakes coupled with upgraded 5×120 hubs. Additional chassis upgrades include ST Suspensions adjustable front coilovers, Z3 M–sourced front control arms, aftermarket rear camber adjustment brackets, and various polyurethane bushings.

The cabin was stripped and a bedliner coating was applied in place of the factory sound-deadening material in the course of the build. Recaro Pole Position bucket seats trimmed in black cloth are paired with Schroth harnesses and sit ahead on a bolt-in roll bar. The dash and center console are wrapped in microsuede, and the headliner and pillar trim has been removed along with the rear bench seat. The power-window switches have been relocated to the doors, which wear aftermarket plastic panels with cloth pulls. Aftermarket speakers have been installed along with a subwoofer and amplifier mounted in place of the rear seat.
