Japan, renowned for its automotive industry, is a hub for car enthusiasts from around the globe. There is one particular aspect that draws petrolheads to this captivating country: its culture of automobile modification. This is something that Japanese people simply enjoy doing! It does not matter whether they deal with JDM's, European cars, or American Muscles - they handle them all.
Car tuning is an art form itself. Whether it's boosting horsepower, improving acceleration, or refining the exhaust note, tuning allows car owners to personalize their rides according to their preferences, taste and passion. In Japan, acclaimed for its car culture, you'll find an abundance of dealers who specialize in providing top-notch tuning services.
One of them is Studie AG. With more than 25 years of experience, they are the real masters of BMW tuning in Japan!This is the place to go if you own a BMW in Japan and would like any type of modification or service done on it. It is their passion and commitment to the cars from Munich that makes them stand out from the competition. The company owns several stores across the country, and we visited one during our visit to Auto Salon Tokyo 2024.
BMW enthusiasts will find it to be a real men's cave. There are many items in this particular shop, including parts, memorabilia, accessories, and fan gadgets, which makes it difficult to remain focused. You are immediately greeted by the large display of BBS wheels, some of which are not available in Europe. The shelves are filled with carbon fiber accessories from Ac Schnitzer, M-Performance, Eventuri, 3DDesign, Recaro, and of course Sterckenn. Even so, there is no sense that this is a car service store, but rather a warm and home-like environment - the flooring does not have tiles, but is covered with wooden panels instead.
The walls of the room are also adorned with a variety of modern art work that contributes to the feeling. There is no doubt that this is a place driven by enthusiasts who are passionate about what they do. You will not become bored while waiting for your car to be serviced there. There are two driving simulators available for your enjoyment, which will allow you to experience racing like a Studie Team driver - yes, they have their own racing team!
Visiting Studie AG in Japan is an unforgettable experience for any car enthusiast. From the world of tuning to the vast array of BMW car parts, wheels, suspension options, and a variety of accessories, Japan offers a haven for those seeking to elevate their automotive passion. So, gear up, embark on a journey to the Land of the Rising Sun, and immerse yourself in the captivating world of car tuning like never before.
