2009 BMW 335i Endurance Racing Replica by Studie AG

Studie AG, a Japanese BMW tuner, made a world class endurance racing replica. Here are some photos and technical specs:

For his latest project, the Japanese tuner chose a 2009 BMW 335i. They opted for a white motorsports paint job and again sought original body panels. In this instance, the widebody was supplied by Schubert Motorsport in Germany – a team renowned for its endurance racing exploits.

The carbon fiber kit consisted of front and rear bumpers plus replacement front fenders and extended rear quarter panels. The adjustable rear wing is also part of the aerodynamics package, which has been extensively tested to increase downforce.

In addition, Studie used its contacts to obtain a pair of genuine BMW Motorsport side skirts. The BMW Motorsport carbon door mirrors were also originally developed for the E36 M3 racers.

The hood vents were supplied by the same source. Having been homologated for World Touring Car competition, they were grafted into the stock hood, which is secured by Aerocatch latches.
