Even so, Noelle Motors decided to offer a complete tuning kit that brings impressive performance tweaks as well as some minor styling touches. To begin with, the 4.4-liter V8 engine that get a major upgrade that improves the total output to 622 horsepower and 773 Nm of torque for a 0-100 km/h acceleration time of 3,7 seconds.

Compared to the stock version, Noelle Motors’ model got extra 172 hp and 123 Nm of torque. We don’t have any details about the top speed but we are sure that the additional power should improve the 250 km/h top speed. The xDrive all-wheel drive system that is present on this BMW 650i Gran Coupe also helps out.

At the exterior, the BMW 650i Gran Coupe by Noelle Motors got a new set of 20-inch alloy wheels. They are shod in Pirelli P Zero tires that measure 245/35 ZR20 (front) and 275/30 R20 (rear) tires.

Inside, you will find little to no changes. The most important changes inside are the new instrument dials that are borrowed from its big brother, the BMW M6. Pricing and availability are yet to be revealed by Noelle Motors.

As its name suggets, Prior Design wanted to make this car as similar as possibl to the GT3 racecar. In order to do this, they’ve fitted new 21-inch alloy wheels with a gold finish and 255/30 R21 (front) and 295/25 R21 (rear) Continental tires, a white body paint with blue and red stripes as well as extended wheel arches.

The trunk has received a spoiler lip while tweaked side skirts, mirrors and bonnet are also available.

Another important upgrade can be found under the hood where the BMW 650i got a power boost. The stock 4.4-liter V8 engine is capable to deliver 495 horses and 722 Nm of torque, a power improvement that should certainly improve the acceleration and top speed figures. However, we don’t have specific numbers in this regard.

The extra power made Prior Design to opt for an upgraded sports exhaust system. It is a quad-pipe one and dominated the rear end alongside the diffuser. Pricing and availability details were not released yet.

The model in question is a BMW 650i fitted with a striking Melbourne Red exterior finish. The 22-inch alloy wheels have a silver brushed look which contrasts well with the overall look of the car.

Besides the interesting body colour, the German model also has the M Sport Package which adds revised bumpers, side skirts, a rear spoiler and black inserts.

If the looks have been improved, the 4.4-liter V8 engine remained the same with a total output of 445 horsepower for a 0-100 km/h sprint in 4,5 seconds. As you can see, this standard BMW 650i is already quite potent, mainly because it sits only one step below the high-performance M model.

Pricing and availability details were not released yet by the tuner. However, you can contact them if you really want to know more about this or other products in their range. With this been said, be sure to check the full photo gallery of the BMW 650i M Sport with Vossen VFS1 wheels.

The exterior thus does not show much change being kept as original as possible with just upgraded LED headlights, redesigned kidney grilles and a brand new hood that fits quite perfectly with the “classy as possible” design.

The B6 xDrive Gran Coupe retains its old aero kit and 20” alloy rims beautifully wrapped in high performance low profile tires, slightly wider in the back compared to the front. Other upgrades include trims and badging, none of which would matter were it not for the biggest of these upgrades; the engine.

The engine of the B6 xDrive Gran Coupe is a 4.4L double turbo V8 engine brought from a mere 540hp to an outstanding 600hp. This exceeds the previous limit set at 560hp set by the M6 Gran Coupe making it faster by 0.5 seconds compared to the M6.

The new B6 xDrive Gran Coupe is set to make its grand debut in March 2015 with orders being set over the ocean in late May, early June.

And while a drag race is not a very complex test, at least it shows just how powerful a car really is.

The guys from The Fast Lane Car took both the Alpina B6 and a Chevrolet Corvette Stingray (MY 2015), found an abandoned location and pit them against one another. On paper, the numbers seem to lean towards the BMW winning this one, and the fact that there is also an all wheel drive system on the BMW doesn’t help the Corvette’s case.

The Vet is, however, much lighter, so you never know what might happen. Under its hood it can unleash 450 HP and 610 Nm, a tad smaller numbers than the Alpina B6, which is good for 540 HP and 700 Nm. If you were to place a bet right now, which would you say will take first place, the Alpina B6 or the Corvette Stingray? Watch below to see.

This time, it is an F12 BMW 6 Series convertible that found its way into the tuner’s hands, and came out as a rather nice, if a little simple, build.

Unfortunately, not much has been done to improve on performance, unless we count the new exhaust system from Manhart, which not only provides a quad tailpipe with improved soundtrack, but also adds a few extra horses, as most racing exhausts do.

As for aesthetics, MM Performance didn’t take any chances and just did what any sensible aftermarket specialist would. They fitted brand new wheels from VFF and a Vorsteiner rear spoiler. Rounding it up is a set of lowering springs from H&R.

Recently, the aftermarket specialist has released a full wide body kit for the F12 and F13 BMW 6 Series and the respective M variants.

Contrary to the more popular material, carbon fiber, Prior Design decided to go for DURA-Flex, which has the advantage of being paintable. The kit, called PD6xx by Prior Design, provides body panels all around, with the complete list being as follows:

Prior Design PD6XX front bumper, side skirts, rear bumper, rear add-on spoiler/diffuser, front wide fenders, rear widenings, bonnet/engine cover, rear trunk spoiler and various mounting materials. This covers pretty much everything, but, as an added bonus, you can grab each piece individually. You know, in case you feel it might be a bit over the top as a whole.

Not so long ago, the model was finally announced for sale in North America.

Wearing a price tag of $118.225, the Alpina B6 Gran Coupe will first arrive on the new continent in April, when it will be on display at the 2014 New York International Auto Show. Following the event, the vehicle will become available for purchase.

Under the hood resides a powerful 4.4 liter Alpina Bi-turbo V8 engine capable of delivering 540 Hp to an all wheel drive system (aka xDrive). Coupled with an 8 speed automatic transmission, the B6 Gran Coupe xDrive will accelerate to 92 km/h in just 3.7 seconds.

Other features include a high performance stainless steel exhaust system and the usual high grade aesthetic improvements we came to expect from Alpina.

And recently, they decided to try their hand at a BMW 6 Series.

After dismantling the vehicle and applying the modifications, the Bulgarian aftermarket specialist dubbed the resulting build “Bullshark”. Performance-wise, the Bullshark uses an upgraded 4.4 liter V8 engine managing some 370 Hp and 522 Nm of torque.

Most of the brunt was extracted by the reworked ECU and custom exhaust system, but the carbon fiber body panels also help the vehicle’s performance.

Getting on to the aesthetics of the project, no surprises were presented, with the traditional Vilner high-quality interior design and materials. From what could be gleaned, new seats were installed, a custom steering wheel and some leather upholstery.

There are also new custom wheels for a well rounded project. Still, one feature might break the whole vehicle, namely the front grille. Vilner took it upon themselves to design whole new grilles for the BMW 6 Series, and while they don’t look bad at all, certain BMW fans might find that change a bit excessive and very unlike BMW.

AC Schnitzer is one such tuner, and the product they recently unveiled is a custom muffler for the F12/F13 BMW 650i.

For those that live only for the numbers, rest assured that AC Schnitzer’s product will definitely improve on the performance of the vehicle, but with detailed specs yet to arrive, you won’t be able to do the math. Still, we do get to hear, in a couple of very nice video, the main attraction of the AC Schnitzer mufflers.

I am, of course, talking about the sound. While the stock BMW 650i has quite a nice ring to it (as most other Bimmers do), the soundtrack is a sure upgrade when the new mufflers come into play. For a taste of the new product, there are a couple of video just below. Unfortunately, just like the specs, prices were not released, either, so for those eager among you, a bit of patience.
