Called the Bilstein B12, this kit will deliver the ultimate “real-world” driving experience to Z3 owners.

The B12 package from the German suspension maker contains four Eibach Pro-kit springs mated with Bilstein dampers that not only improve drive quality, but also lower the vehicle by 30 mm both front and back. This kit derived from Bilstein’s B8 unit and the motorsports heritage shows in the fine craftsmanship and fine enginnering of the dampers. Each kit was tested and signed off by Bilstein’s test drivers and engineers.

Two kits are available, depending on the BMW Z3 version you have. For the 1.8 and 1.9 engine variants, the normal Bilstein B12 kit will be installed. A heavier version is available if you sport a 2.0, 2.2, 2.8 or 3.0 liter engine. For the lucky few that drive a BMW Z3 M with a 3.2 liter engine, a special upgraded damper is provided.

If you’re going to tune up your slightly aged BMW, you might as well do it for the sake of getting a quicker, better looking, more interesting car, not just beating something else.

I might be singing under the wrong window. Anyway, here’s a E92 BMW 3 Series that was tweaked for all the right reasons. And it’s a coupe no less.

A German tuner from Neumunster, one called Tuning Concepts, made the owner of this toy pretty happy as they’ve made it prettier than it was before.

Incredibly though, the E92 3 Series Coupe actually comes with a bit of aggression as well. Let’s think of it as a shark.

It’s still the deadly creature we know it for but it’s also an elegantly shaped piece of natural design. Most sharks though don’t come with a two tone paint finish.

Some do have black accents on their skin but it’s not really the alloy wheel kind of setup and nor is it a trunk, spoiler or a set of radiator grilles.

Going beyond the looks of the E92 BMW 3 Series Coupe, Tuning Concepts then update a few of the underpinnings as well.

Nothing is done to the engine or transmission but there’s a new brake setup and a a Bilstein coilover suspension kit.

Both should make a significant difference.

Arguably one of the most fun cars ever made, the BMW 1M Coupe should go well with the Hulk’s fun loving and no-nonsense attitude. His David Bruce Banner side will also like the efficiency.

Either way, after some serious searching, we’ve finally been able to track down his car. It’s a nearly standard affair, but it does receive a rather specific exterior look.

Forget BMW’s standard paint options. Forget their Frozen Paint lineup and you can pretty much forget anything that could have come from Bavaria.

The exterior of this car is so crazily painted in the brightest lime green ever made that it could only have been made by Lamborghini.

There’s no confirmation available on that being the actual origin of the exterior paint shade on this particular 1 Series M Coupe but frankly, I wouldn’t want to bug the Hulk with annoying questions, would you?

As for the few technical tweaks that happened they’re a new custom titanium exhaust. We’re yet to hear it but we suppose it has a “Hulk smash” sound higher up the ranges.

On top of that, there’s a set of Bilstien sports shocks and a lowered suspension. The extra beef in the suspension was obviously needed.

Yannik Holler and Schwaben Folia came up with the photos so if you’re a Marvel Universe fan you may want to keep these guys on your checklist.
