Christian Martell: 2016 BMW M2

Christian Martell attended his first car show in New Jersey when he was younger thanks to his friends who were always into the car scene. He had so much fun and met so many people that he fell in love wih the idea, and decided to start modifying something of his own. After building a 370Z, he moved onto a 2016 BMW M2, and transformed the car in every way he could.
