With the BMW M4 here, chances are that we will see less and less aftermarket builds for the E92 BMW M3, and there are a lot of fans out there that find this aggravating.

But before tuners shift their attention to the new guy on the block, there is still something left for the outgoing model.

Prodrive E92 BMW M3

While not being the first aftermarket company to pay their respects to the E92 BMW M3, Prodrive did do their best to make it shine. In my honest opinion, I believe that there still was room for improvement, as the build is kind of basic. Being a strictly cosmetic alteration, you get the basic elements you would expect.

As much as we love the new BMW M3 and the M4 newcomer, there is one thing that still makes a few enthusiasts bad mouth the models.

I am talking about the engine, or more particular, the sound it produces.

G-Power BMW M3

In many opinions the previous generation, with its naturally aspirated engine, just gave off a far more pleasing purr when you drove it. Of these, two particular special editions were kings of the hill: the GTS and CRT versions. While the GTS was more track oriented, the CRT put more value on luxury, and both were fierce beasts.

With so many BMW M3 tuning projects out there, it would be hard to point one out and say “this is the best one”.

Fact is, there are plenty out there that do a splendid job of either boosting performance or upgrading appearance, or even both.

Precision Sport Industries E46 BMW M3

This E46 BMW M3 does rather well on the performance front, with the visuals receiving only a bit fiddling. Apart from new Volk wheels and Bilstein lowering springs, nothing really gives it away. But turn the engine on, and you will find out that actually a lot of work went into the build.

There is a common practice among tuners called sound offs. This basically means you dust off your tuner car which has an aftermarket exhaust and see if it sounds better than another.

All in all, this isn’t that much of competition, as apart from decibels, you can’t really establish any rules, and more noise doesn’t always mean better.

Also most of the times, these battles take place with the vehicles stationary, and that isn’t really the way to go if you want to see how nice an engine purrs. Still, for a couple of minutes, you can have a bit of fun with it. Especially if you just completed a nice day at the track.

Every time I see a picture of a Bimmer parked just outside the workshop of EAS, I just can’t help but feel a bit excited.

And with the guys from EAS, the new upgrades installed are not always immediately apparent, just like this Santorini Blue E92 BMW M3.

From a first look, not much seems to be out of place with the M3, unless you look at the back, where EAS propped a massive wing to generate downforce. But why generate it, you say? Well, for that answer we would have to pop open the hood and see the goodies installed inside.

The E92 BMW M3 is not the newest in the range but is certainly a beloved model between the BMW enthusiasts. That’s probably why Vorsteiner, a well-known German tuner, decided to offer the GTRS3 wide bodykit for the previous-gen M3.

At the exterior, the Germans offer a blue finish with revised bumpers, side skirts and rear diffuser. You will also notice the carbon fiber spoiler lip, front fenders and carbon side mirror caps.

Last but not least, the rear stands out thanks to the boot lip while the widened wheel arches hide the new massive alloy wheels.

Whatever your tuning project is, if you think about adding a diffuser, then you are not wrong for a few reasons.

And if you are going down that road, you might as well grab one from RKP, who do a decent job of it.

RKP Diffuser for E92/E93 BMW M3

If your ride is either an E92 or E93 BMW M3, then you just have to go with their brand new diffuser. And you want to do this for several reasons. First off, the looks alone should warrant one, as it can nicely complete the visual aspect of a tune.

When carbon fiber first came to the automotive industry, it was quite a rare material, but its qualities quickly became obvious.

Its main feature, the strength to weight ration, is far better than steel or other materials used at the time, with the only drawback being the high cost.

Carbon fiber E90 BMW M3

Nowadays, carbon fiber is not so uncommon anymore, and with advances made in the field by manufacturers like BMW, the price is quickly dropping. BMW even proved that you can successfully use the CFRP composite to create a full passenger hub. In a few years, it will be possible to build vehicles almost completely out of carbon fiber.

We know that BMW is mighty proud of their new CFRP (carbon fiber reinforced plastic), which is proving to be a real success and will be widely used on most models from now on.

But just because BMW went and invested millions of dollars into a new carbon fiber composite, doesn’t mean this is the norm from now on.

Vorsteiner E92 BMW M3 body kit

As a matter of fact, there are plenty other variants of carbon fiber out there, and Vorsteiner’s carbon fiber pre-preg autoclave is also a point of pride. They like it so much, they decided to use it extensively on a new body kit for the E92 BMW M3.

When you have in your possession a car that is able to warp the asphalt underneath it, it’s kind of hard to refrain from putting your foot down on the gas.

But some do put their foot down every now and then, and hopefully, when they do so, they are in a somewhat safer environment, like a track.

BMW M3 vs Ford GT

Also, if you manage to get several vehicles on the same track, the real fun ensues. Drag races are the norm and, as the next video will show you, you can never know who has the upper hand in such a battle. Pitted against a Ford GT, the BMW M3 puts on a hell of a show.
