Well, a few months ago we acquired a new facility, and have been working hard at getting it remodeled and updated to our specs.

This new facility is about 3 times larger than the one we have been operating out of since 2002.

We are utilizing both the old and new facilities at this time, the manufacturing is being done at the old one....and I am posting this from the new one.

Anyhow, we bought this place as an empty building...and moved the logistics here and have been working on the R&D facility, the Powder-Coat area, and of course arranging the many parts in stock.

It is coming together, hopefully when we get it done we will have some type of "Grand Opening" or something similar.

I can't wait to get all of our cars here too, right now we only have a few. The owner of BMR is also going to be bringing his Corvette down from Chicago, to rest it here. It is the fastest Naturally Aspirated Corvette in the world, and it's got a manual trans.

Our mechanic Colt, buttoning up the Billet Oil Pump gear install on our VMP TVS Powered 2011 GT:



Our 419 CI Stroked, TVS+Nitrous, Camaro Test/Development Car. The Mustang told it to wait outside:


Part-Assembly area, and hardware storage room being built. The (2) windows you see in the background, up-high...are the windows from the living area upstairs, which is pretty awesome:


The room at the center of the picture is the Shipping Managers office. All the boxes on the right side of the picture on the ground, are filled with stock parts from our project/development cars. The racks/boxes on far left is the inventory area. We have a lot of parts in stock:


That stupid, pesky Camaro again, sitting in front of the R&D room. On the left, you will see the Powder-Coat area under construction. You will also see engine-stands, car-lift parts and various other items on the floor:


...annnnd a horrible Panoramic shot:


The Shop Managers lair. Designed to be able to see the entire manufacturing area, once we transfer the operation over from the old facility:


Another Camaro....they're everywhere! This one I actually like though. Pro-Touring build we have going on in-house. We build our entire cars in-house, engines, transmissions, everything. BMR FTW! This car even has it's own little room within the R&D Area...and will have it's own lift, soon:


The 2011 GT again, our latest addition to the Mustang family, a MINT Fox-Coupe...and the owners of BMR's first Muscle-Car, a GTO. I love that car, it is in such bad-shape....but the owner of it is blinded by love. lol. Unfortunately our 2003 Mach 1 is sitting outside in the Tropical Storm that we are getting nailed by. #floridaproblems:


The Pro-Touring Camaro again. It has a pretty healthy little 434" LS Engine:


Empty space, waiting on 2 more lifts and 4 of our other project/development cars. I think our Supercharged Pontiac G8 will be one of the cars in this area:


Our storage room for our displays. Sorry Mustang guys, the Torque-Arm / Watts Link set-up in the back of the room is for the GM-Crowd. blah....


Another display storage shot:



That's about all I had time to snap pics of, but I will eventually update this thread with newer pics once our manufacturing operation is successfully transferred over to this facility.

If anyone is in the Tampa, FL area and wants to swing by, let me know!

Thanks to everyone who runs and supports BMR Suspension!

1. Nice shop!
2. How much for the little red fox coupe behind the 4 post lift?
3. The time is upon us for a BMR torque arm for the Mustang to become reality...

We have gotten a bit further. Still no where near completion, still working at an ETA to get all of our welders, equipment, and our assembly department over here. Also, we have not made any progress on the powder-coat area....that will probably be the last thing we complete.

The R&D Facility's exterior is almost complete, as well as the "bosses tower" - The lower level with the wall is the assembly area, and the room is the hardware storage room


One of the contractors working hard. This is the assembly area, as well.


Up the stairs, to the immediate left, the entrance to the bosses office...straight ahead, the stock parts from all of our project vehicles/vehicles that we own and build suspension for. Soon to be a box for 2015 Mustang....and, unfortunately, 2015 Camaro...


Welding stations. We plan on having 12-15 stations when done. It is kind of risky building these so soon, but I think we have enough room to compensate if we made a mistake.




More to come!

Thanks for posting these pics. I'm always curious as to how all these speed shops/parts manufacturing shops look like, since I almost never get the chance to see them in person. Looks very clean and well organized.

Come on by!

I hope this doesn't make anyone reading mad, but we give 20% off of BMR Manufactured components, if you bring cash. :highfive:

NOW you tell me. :thud:

Well, you are one of the only customers I have ever dealt with, that has come straight out and said "I don't need a discount, I will pay more for it because you guys have helped me out so many times"......

That being said, 25% for you, if you want to make the trip.
