Take Canadian tuner RestyleIT for example. We’ve hardly heard of them when they made a custom exterior wrap for the BMW 1 Series M Coupe which had some interesting interior details.

It isn’t really a fully comprehensive sort of deal since the makeover doesn’t require much of an effort to conjure up. With this new one however, things are a little different.

The car they set to start with for the project is somewhat more serious since it’s the E92 M3, the bigger brother in the BMW lineup.

What they do with the conversion, is a little less serious however. Make that a lot less serious, since they wrap it up for a color change and it’s not the most M3 associated shade out there.

The new exterior finish chosen is pink. It’s the matte variety which is said to make things cooler these days but it’s pink nevertheless. Even with some matte black accents, the mood of the car is a bit on the girly side.

Masculine insecurity is not something that can be hidden when you’re driving around in a rumbling high performance V8 powered machine painted the same shade as a 14 year old girl’s bracelet.

As if to make sure they’re aware of what they’re doing, the BMW badge gets its blue replaced by pink as well. How uncool is that?

This must be how a Lithuanian driver justifies his attempt at tweaking his E70 BMW X5 in order to live with owning it without the typical shame.

Either that, or he just wanted to get a certain cool air about his car and I’m misjudging him too nicely in how he made up his mind.

He got help from a company called Re-Styling who wrapped the exterior of his Bavarian SUV in the ever more popular vinyl wrap.

The color choice in question is not that much similar to the ever more popular wraps and paint schemes. The matte black effect has been used before, but not like this.

The idea of calling the car stealthy has a bit of a point since the Lithuanian… tuner didn’t stop with the body panels of the E70 BMW X5.

We’re looking at the alloy wheels, the plastic bumpers, the door handles and just about any place they could find. Factor in the black tinted windows and the desired effect is achieved.

There’s just now way one can see this car at night and, during the day, there’s just now way somebody can see you in it.

It seems then that the overkill wrapping from Re-Styling may have payed off in my fantasy world and still works decently in the world.

E30 BMW M3 was one of the most popular models from BMW M Division and that’s why BMW became the most powerful brand in the world producing luxury and sports cars.

Our subject is about the 1988 BMW M3 E30 Matte DTM Race Car created by the folks at Precision Sport Industries using the 1:18 and 1:43 scale models as guides. This car is the replica of Kurt Thiim 1988 Race Car.

The people from PSI (Precision Sport Industries) have brought to reality this car and reaching one of the most beautiful E30 M3 ever modified. From the list of modifications we can include: S52 Swap w/ OBD 1 Conversion, a new custom full exhaust with RHD RD Sport Headers, Euro 3.5 injectors, 3M Matte Black for the whole exterior and 3M Yellow Striping, Custom AA tuning, Hartge rims, a new racing suspension kit and Recaro Pole Position Seat.

Thanks Garrett Wade and Justin Morrison for these beautiful images.

A creation of SR Auto Group, It’s called the Shadow Walker package and was developed for the F12 BMW 650i. It fits the grand tourer greatly.

The package can probably be applied to the whole of the current BMW range without too much fuss since it seems to meet some core brand feats of the Bavarian car maker.

We’re looking at a simply flowing design, a discrete presence and an imposing image.

Some would even go as far as to say it’s an austere look. I’m not in agreement but even if it were true, we couldn’t really complain.

None of the BMW 650i’s features or body panels were changed, with the most important substantial difference here being the new wheels.

The F12 now uses 20 inch Circuit T03 rollers which are finished in black. Speaking of which, the entire car is now painted black.

It’s one of those matte black situations that I must admit I am not very fond of. Therefore my saying that I appreciate the look of the F12 Shadow Walker even in these conditions should weigh more.

The slightly glossy finish of the wheels and the one of the roof seem to highlight the F12 BMW 650i’s sleek profile.

My only request to SR Auto Group upon creating this vehicle is that if they don’t spread the love to other BMW creations, at least the F12 M6 should be getting a Shadow Walker package.
