The new kit is called the BMW 1M Coupe GTS-V package, something pretty much typical with the tuner’s branding habits.

That’s not all that’s typical for Vorsteiner, the contents of the package seems to be the same as their other products with the GTS-V name.

Minor aerodynamic changes are spotted, some make considerable differences whereas others barely make any.

Either way, Vorsteiner uses carbon fiber on all the parts that go on the BMW 1 Series M Coupe. Even if there are some new additions, they weigh next to nothing.

With the parts that are replaced, boot lid, front lip and all the ducting that implies to cool the brakes, that’s a different story as weight is lost.

Along side the improved aero and reduced girth, the Vorsteiner BMW 1 Series M Coupe also gets a wee bit more power thanks to a new sports exhaust system.

To be precise, that’s 15 horsepower and 5 lb-ft of torque courtesy of a titanium setup. Everything is enjoyable and even this bit of the story saves some weight.

About that, guess what performance figure is aided by the brand new 19 or 20 inch BBS light alloy wheels. All of the components Vorsteiner has in store are bolt-on bits.

More importantly, because they can be fitted onto the standard bolting points, they’ll also be easily reversible and backwards compatible.

The BMW M3 used to be a car you could lose in the parking lot but once the American tuner has had a go at it that’s no longer the case.

Stickers, obvious wheels and racing stripes are now at home on the BMW M3 and while they do fit together pretty nicely, it’s not a clean and pleasant presence.

Happily though, they did spend some time working with the performance levels of the sports sedan so you can actually escape the shame quite quickly.

The performance mods come in two flavors for the Vorsteiner GTS-V package; there’s those we know about and those that are kind of shady.

Those that are kind of shady are found under the bonnet. Vorsteiner promises the 4.0 liter V8 a Macht Schnell Stage 2 Intake Charge Kit but we don’t know exactly what difference it makes.

Most of those we know about are aimed at the chassis and handling of the BMW M3. No disrespect intended but we always thought the E92 was rather brilliant at this in standard form.

Regardless of our opinions, Vorsteiner offers a KW Adjustable Spring Sleeve Kit suspension setup, 18 inch Volk Racing TE37 wheels, Hankook RS-3 tires and Brembo brakes.

Individually, all of these accessories are pretty impressive so mixing them with a BMW M3 might be quite impressive.

Pricing wasn’t really mentioned but since the changes aren’t really that dramatic we don’t expect it to be anything very surprising.
