While we have seen the magnificent F80 BMW M3 in different shades and colours, along with cool aero kits, the Sunburst Gold Metallic from BMW Individual is perhaps the most prolific, as it highlights the car`s every single design line. The last we saw it wear this exquisite colour was around a year ago, with the mods being carried out by Californian-based tuner EAS.

Our model in question and gorgeously highlighted in the media gallery below, wears the same majestic colour, while it shows its increased aggressiveness, thanks to the new and vintage-like HRE 540 wheels.

The wheels involved used to be the hottest back in the 90`s and were seen on rides like the E46 BMW M3, Porsche 996 Turbo or C5 Corvette. Now, in the 2018 iteration, the wheels are set to commemorate 40 years of the tuner`s successful existence on the market. And what better way to do that then have them wrapped on the gorgeous BMW M3.

The new edition are sized 20 x 8.5 and 20 x 10.5 front and rear, respectively, and are finished in the mind-blowing Satin Black, which perfectly complements the car`s exterior paintjob.

Powering the Sunbrust Gold Metallic F80 BMW M3 is the famous 3.0-liter M TwinPower Turbo inline six-cylinder engine with 431 horsepower and 500 Nm of torque, enough to deliver a sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in just 4.3 seconds, when hooked to a six-speed manual transmission. However, equipped with a seven-speed MDC-T, the same sprint is done in just 4.1 seconds.

More details of the F80 BMW M3 by HRE Wheels can be found in the media gallery below. Enjoy and tell us if you like the new wheels!

So we have to appreciate and enjoy any F80 BMW M3 that is presented to us in gorgeous builds. The latest one to appear online belongs to another well-known tuner in Germany, Baan Velgen, specialized in wheel manufacturing and providing plenty of high-performance solutions for different German car manufacturers.

This unique F80 BMW M3 stands out before us with a unique paintjob, exquisite BBS wheels and an Akrapovic exhaust system which normally announces a power input.

Just like any other exclusive project on the marvelous F80 M3, this particular one has received the Dove Gray body wrap which details the car`s aggressive design language. This also means that we are not dealing with heavy customizations around the body, which is a good thing.

Besides the new wrap, aftermarket specialists from Baan Velgen have also installed the high-performance and lightweight BBS FI-R alloy wheels, which measure 19 x 8.5 at the front and 19 x 10.5 on the rear. However, the wheels don’t come cheap and if you decide to have them on your own M3, then you will have to empty your pockets for $2,000.

Chip in the complete Akrapovic Titanium exhaust system with single-central muffler with valves and big link pipe tubes, with middle muffler, and we might be looking at a more potent M3. The Akrapovic carbon fiber rear diffuser also comes with quad carbon exhaust tips, all increasing the engine soundtrack of this gorgeous F80 M3. Unfortunately, we don’t have the new performance figures released yet.

In the stock form, the F80 BMW M3 still comes with same 3.0-liter M TwinPower Turbo inline six-cylinder engine with 431 horsepower and 500 Nm of torque, managing a sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in just 4.3 seconds, when hooked to a six-speed manual transmission. With the high-performance seven-speed MDC-T, the same sprint is done in just 4.1 seconds.

The technicians from UK-based Evolve Automotive have an impressive collection of BMW programs, comprising M4s, M5s, or some SUVs from the X range, like the X5 or the X6. All of them received some exceptional body style elements, along with new wheels and lowered suspension.

Our program seen in the media gallery below stands out from the crowd with the exotic Verde Mantis, which is in fact a Lamborghini colour. However, it looks impressive on our M3, increasing its overall aggressive look and stance. Besides that, this F80 BMW M3 remains pretty much a stock model.

In the engine department, this Verde Mantis F80 BMW M3 packs the same 3.0-liter M TwinPower Turbo inline six-cylinder engine with 425 horsepower and 500 Nm of torque, enough to deliver a sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in just 4.3 seconds, hooked to a six-speed manual transmission. However, equipped with a seven-speed MDC-T, the same sprint is done in just 4.1 seconds.

Besides the F80 BMW M3 wearing the Verde Mantis colour, there was also the BMW i8 to receive the exotic paintjob. It showed up at BMW i Park Lane in UK a couple of weeks ago, being on display along with other models, all part of BMW i8 Individual Program. Besides the Verde Mantis, there were also other i8s wearing the BMW Individual Rising Phoenix Metallic Chromaflair, Crystal White or Protonic Frozen Yellow Edition.

Anothe standout model is the below F80 BMW M3 coming with the exotic Austin Yellow body wrap and HRE`s high-performance wheels.

Most BMW M3/M4 owners usually resort to aftermarket customizations to make them more standout, and when it comes to fitting them with outstanding wheels, they usually turn their attention towards HRE Wheels or Vorsteiner. In this case, the former tuner clearly has a shot.

We are dealing here with the HRE RC 100 alloy wheels, each one costing around $1,300 and featuring the l-beam spoke geometry; this makes them extremely durable, strong and efficient especially on the track. Thanks to the new set of wheels, this F80 M3 would be capable of some impressive acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h.

The wheels also measure 20 x 8.5 and 20 x 10.5 front and rear, respectively, and are finished in Brushed Clear, which perfectly complement the car`s exterior Austin Yellow.

The latest BMW M3 to receive an exquisite treatment is the one seen below and wrapped in Nardo Grey exterior colour. It sits extremely low and wears the Vossen`s special forged wheels. Of course, this isn’t a ride to be driven on dangerous road conditions, so you`d better stick to the wheels alone, without the new air suspension.

We are dealing here with the Vossen`s LC-106T forged wheels, coming with an exquisite directional spoke design which adds the “moving while still” impression. They are also measuring 20 x 10.5 at the front and 20 x 11.5 at the rear, and are finished in Brushed Polish, providing the perfect blend with the car`s body wrap.

As aforementioned, this hot-looking Nardo Grey BMW M3 has been also fitted with a new air-ride suspension which lowers the car`s ride height until it reaches the ground. Other features at the exterior that enhance the aggressive look refer to carbon fiber front spoiler, side skirts, rear diffuser or rear decklid spoiler.

Underneath the skin, the Nardo Grey F80 BMW M3 is packing the stock 3.0-liter inline six-cylinder engine, with 431 horsepower and 500 Nm of torque on board, and a 4.1 second sprint from 0 to 100 km/h. The top speed is electronically adjusted at 250 km/h.

The body wrap is complemented with the plethora of M Performance Parts, such as the M Performance carbon fiber front splitters, M Performance side blade attachments, gloss black kidney grilles as well as gloss black side markers, all contributing to a new look.

The post Nardo Gray F80 BMW M3 Looks Smashing with New Aero Package, Installation by EAS appeared first on BMW Car Tuning BLOG - BMW Car Modifications and Customization.

Recently, we have had the pleasure of seeing the below F80 BMW M3 wearing the tuner`s alloy wheels, which perfectly blend in with the exterior wrapping, the Champagne Quarts Metallic, which is pretty rare seen on BMW models.

So here we are with the Vossen X Work VWS-2 alloy wheels with two-piece welding process, which measure 20 x 8.5 and 20 x 11 front and rear, and featuring as well polished lips. The alloys look extremely hot and provide the F80 M3 with a more aggressive look and increase stance.

Besides the new wheels from Vossen, this gorgeous specimen has also received some carbon fiber styling bits, including carbon fiber front spoiler and carbon fiber mirrors, adding as well blacked-out kidney grille and a few more.

Sadly, the entire aero kit and new Vossen wheels would have been perfect with a power upgrade under the hood, but unfortunately from what we know so far, there weren’t any performance figures added.

This means that the F80 BMW M3 remains pretty much stock with its high-performance 3.0-liter inline six-cylinder TwinPower Turbo engine, with 431 horsepower and 500 Nm of torque.

Until further news and performance details, please take a look at the video with Vossen`s F80 BMW M3 wrapped in Champagne Quarts Metallic!

We would have expected a power boost as well, but unfortunately for now, we have to stick to the stock yet high-performance 3.0-liter TwinPower Turbo inline six-cylinder engine, developing a good 431 horsepower and 500 Nm of torque, which is enough to deliver a sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in just 4.3 seconds, and that with a six-speed transmission. However, with the M Driver`s Package, which includes a seven-speed M-DCT transmission, the same straight line is made in 4.1 seconds, at a topping of 250 km/h.

On the other hand, our F80 BMW M3 seen in the media gallery below looks smahing with the new carbon fiber aero kit, with the main highlights on the car`s carbon fiber front spoiler, rear diffuser and rear decklid, side sills and a few more.

The tuning project could not be complete without the new wheels courtesy of Velos tuner. We are looking here at the Velos D5 Direction, measuring 21×11 up front and 20×10 at the rear, and coming with a splendid Hand Brushed/Double Dark Tint/Gloss Clear finish.

With the new wheels, carbon fiber aero elements and the gorgeous Fire Orange body wrap, this F80 BMW M3 seen here is a real eye-catcher and extremely appealing. You can admire it in its full plenitute in the media gallery below.

As we can depict from the pictures below, the model looks smashing and extremely hot with the rare Sakhir Orange color, the technicians also increasing its aggressive attitude by adding bespoke body parts.

We are looking here at a new aero kit consisting of gloss black kidney grille inserts, matte black air intake spoilers, black side gills, carbon front spoiler, decklid spoiler and bespoke rear diffuser.

The entire aero kit comes handy with the new HRE R101 alloy wheels, finished in Brushed Aluminum and measuring 20×8.5 and 20×10.5 front and rear. The engineers have also added the new lowering springs, which lower the car`s ride height and increase its stance and aggressive look.

We are not sure if the engineers have also added some fine modifications under the hood, but we tend to believe they didn’t.

This means that this F80 BMW M3 still comes with same 3.0-liter M TwinPower Turbo inline six-cylinder engine with 431 horsepower and 500 Nm of torque, managing a sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in just 4.3 seconds, when hooked to a six-speed manual transmission. With the high-performance seven-speed MDC-T, the same sprint is done in just 4.1 seconds.
