European Car Magazine: Source Code (April 2014 Feature)

[anthony @ eas]

We're stoked to announce that we are featured in the latest issue of European Car Magazine! The five page article titled "Source Code" begins on page 72 of the April 2014 issue, and focuses on our two ESS supercharged BMWs. We obviously can't post the entire article online, but here's a little sneak peek...





We were given the opportunity to shoot our own photos for the feature, so we drove the cars out to El Mirage dry lake bed for some nice background scenery (and maybe for some high-speed drifting...). We got insanely lucky, because we were given one of the most epic sunsets we could have asked for. I've included several of the photos below (some are from the article, others are not) for your guys' enjoyment. Click on any photo to download the high resolution version, and be sure to grab your own copy of European Car Magazine!

Ha-ha! Know what you mean. Every time I feel I'm done with the mods, something new comes up. Will pass on this spoiler, but dead certain something else will be coming along.
