Both tuners have decided their tasks: Hamann dealt with getting all the mechanical bits while DS Automobile installed them on the F80 M3.

This means that the F80 BMW M3 has received some changes at the body styling and some mechanical components, like a front spoiler lip, a rear diffuser, lower sports suspension as well as the 21-inch multi-spoke Anniversary Evo alloys. DS Automobile completed the job by wrapping the car`s body with the white color.

The list of upgrades continued under the hood, where the M4 received a significant power boost. If in the stock version the F80 BMW M3 packs a 3.0-liter M TwinTurbo Power inline flat-six engine, with 431 horsepower and 500 Nm of torque, with the new power kit, the car is capable of churning out 522 horsepower.

The sprint from 0 to 100 km/h has been also improved from the stock 4.3 seconds to an astonishing 4.0 seconds at a topping of 250 km/h. However, we are not sure if the performance was achieved with the six-manual speed or the seven-clutch transmission.

DS Automobile and Hamann tuners have also released a gorgeous photo gallery with their first joined project, enjoy and don’t forget to share your opinions on that!

Therefore, most of the tuners love tinkering its engine, while adding a sporty stance. In this case it’s about a Swiss company, named DS Automobile. They took a stock F80 BMW M3 and garnished it with goodies from the German turner Hamann. Adding the front spoiler lip, the rear diffuser, and the 21 inch Anniversary Evo wheels completely changed the M3’s appearance. They could also add a new, more profiled hood, but they kept the original one. Instead, an adjustable rear wing, also provided by Hamann, has been added to bring extra style.

Then, fitting the lower suspension kit added an even more aggressive stance. Next step? Paint the body in white! And, yes, that’s a lot of white. I can’t say I don’t like it, I’m only saying it’s a matter of taste. But looking at the engine output, it’s clear that what’s under the hood isn’t a matter of taste anymore!

From the start, the F80 M3 offered 431 PS and 550 Nm from its inline-6, 3.0 liter engine. This was enough for a 4.3 seconds time to 100 km/h. Now, by changing the exhaust and remapping the ECU, the Swiss tuner extracted 99 horses more, bringing it to 530 PS, which allows reaching 100 km/h from standstill in just 4.0 seconds. Maybe it doesn’t look spectacular, but I think it’s a good balance between performance and reliability.

It is quite a rare sight seeing a topper BMW X5M receiving the attention of two important aftermarket shops that know BMW models in-and-out. Hamman is a tuner specialized in delivering one-off and outstanding tuning kits for BMW, while DS Automobile is just the right one to install such treatments.

Their latest creation is this exquisite X5 M in its present generation, the big bad boy receiving a power kit under the hood. Thus, the 4.4-liter bi-turbo V8 engine is now delivering 650 horsepower, which is quite impressive from the stock 560 horsepower.

DS Automobile has not released any performance figures, but we suspect a sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in less than 4.2 seconds, at a topping of a limited 250 km/h.

As expected in the most cases, this big boy matches its power by also standing out from the crowd with the one-off metallic black exterior color, which perfectly complements the new Anniversary Evo alloy wheels, finished in brushed silver. Other elements also include the flared arches and sports bumpers.

The DS Automobile has not left things unfinished and have also launched their cool photos with their latest Hamann BMW X5M SUV, enjoy and don’t forget to share your impressions with us!

Additionally, the SAV received the gorgeous Long Beach Blue exterior paint has received a set of new wheels, which makes it even more aggressive.
