iM Feature: The Calagui Brothers
All in the family.
Without a doubt, there is nothing that will ever be stronger than the bond between members within a family. This is especially true when it comes to loyalty amongst siblings. Even over time as siblings grow apart and go about their separate ways in life, the level of respect and trust that is created by brothers and sisters will simply never be broken.
Staying true to the sibling tradition are Allan and Raymon Calagui. Being exposed to everything and anything car related since they were young, both Allan and Ray were always on the same page when it came to building a project car; Form and Function. Neither Form nor Function is compromised when it came to any of the Calagui Brothers’ projects. Because of this “all out” attitude that the Calagui’s possess, any of the builds created by Allan or Ray have always been known to have a timeless and classic touch to them.
Keeping it real with the family state of mind, Ray and Allan looked to the BMW family with their latest projects. Allan, with a 2008 BMW 335i Sedan and Ray, with a 2011 BMW 335xi Coupe. With both cars carrying incredible performance out of the box, it’s no wonder the Calagui brothers chose these BMWs as their platforms, both filled with tons of potential.
Performance playing a major factor on both vehicles, Allan unleashes his 335i Sedan with a Stage 3 tune and a methanol injection kit. Add a full Active Autowerkes exhaust and AR Design 3″ catless downpipes and this is one Sedan that maintains a classy exterior while it leaves others in the dust, if need be.
Ray looks to none other than BMW Performance (Exhaust) and an AR Design 4″ catless down pipe to get his 335xi Coupe intimidating any stock M3 that pulls up next to it. Complete with a BMS N55 Stage 2 tune and Methanol Injection Kit mounted in the trunk, this is definitely one 335xi Coupe that will give any M3 a run for it’s money.
Exterior wise, both vehicles maintain signature BMW aesthetics with a few BMW Performance add-ons giving each vehicle a little more whip appeal to anyone who lays their eyes upon the Coupe or the Sedan.
What arguably makes this 335i Sedan and 335xi Coupe stand out from other BMWs on the road, is the stance and wheel game showcased on both vehicles. Allan’s Sedan rocks an uber classy set of Work Euroline XRs, while Ray’s Coupe slays with a custom made set of Work’s timeless wheel, a gold set of VS-XXs.
With both vehicles participating in the stance game, while at the same time putting down plenty of power, anyone who ever thought that form and function could never be part of the same family, can re-think the whole process. Just have a look at the Calagui Brothers’ BMWs, and you’ll see why.
