However, a special edition was revealed at the SEMA Show last year. It involves the M3 30 Years American Edition, which is now up for grabs at Century West BMW, in Hollywood, US. The price is set at $130,000, which is almost double the one of a standard M3.

You may say it is way too expensive for an M3, even if it comes with a couple of enhancements here and there. However, a real M3 lover will definitely appreciate what it wears, particularly inside the cabin which is probably the main highlight.

Visually, the BMW M3 30 Years American Edition stands out from the crowd with M Performance parts and some carbon fiber elements.

The eye-catching model features Frozen Red II Metallic body wrap along with 19-inch and 20-inch front and rear, respectively; the wheels are wrapped with M Performance alloy wheels with golden hue finish. The grip and stability are also given by high-performance Michelin Pilot Sport Cup tires.

There is also the M Performance exhaust with titanium silencers, adjustable suspension system and carbon fiber rear wing, which enhances its aerodynamics and downforce.

Inside, the cabin welcomes you with a cozy and luxury feel, thanks to the red, white and blue leather upholstery, which cover the seats, door panels and parts of the dashboard.

As the car comes fitted with the Competition Package, it means that the power under the hood is also enhanced. The model is coming with the same 3.0-liter M TwinPower Turbo inline six-cylinder engine, but with increased power compared to the stock M3. This time, we are looking here at 450 horsepower and 550 Nm of torque, allowing an acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in less than 4.0 seconds.

BMW purists have no the chance of taking a look at this 1989 325i Convertible, his owner putting a selling ad on Craigslist and asking “just” $19,999.

For this money, you get a sort of kitschy ride with different tuning parts taken from Lamborghini and Ferrari.
Taking a closer look at the car, one can depict the scissor doors from Lamborghini or the side strakes from the Ferrari Testarossa, adding a prominent front bottom from Koeniggsegg, deeper rear rims and vintage-style LCD screens in the headrests.

Also, the ad states that the model is in “excellent” condition, coming as well with just 80,000 miles on board and perfectly working E36 M3 straight-six engine underneath the skin.

In case you are really interested in buying this strange car, then you should addressed directly to the owner, who also posted the bellow announcement:

“No offers without seeing the car, it’s worth every red cent, you’ll obviously never see anything like this again. The body kit doesn’t exist in the US, this is a strictly German wide-body kit.”

Is it worth buying this inciting yet repulsing kind of E30 model? From where I stand, if you really want to add flavor to your BMW collection, then I guess this is the perfect kind of car! Enjoy the impressive media gallery released below!

With so much to pick from and so many people competing to be different, it’s not wonder to hear about some of them screw up big time on these ideas.

This tends to happen quite often when it comes to styling yet we’ve seen plenty of mistakes for the technical side as well.

We love the technical side as BMW fans, especially when it’s done right and you end up with a pig-like handling machine with the beloved badge.

If you want to get handling done right, there’s just a few names out there that you can call upon. If you don’t like the sound of KW Suspension, you’ll be calling upon H&R Springs.

Their new package is showcased on the F30 335i, the more powerful of the 3 Series current lineup and sports a price of $1.680.

For that kind of money you get an adjustable kit which can range in drop between 1.5 and 2.6 inches for the front and 1.3 to 2.3 for the rear.

With the new bits, H&R Springs decided to go for a new set of brakes, a set of 20 inch O.Z. Ultraleggera HLT wheels and a new set of tires.

All that extra sporty feeling will make great use of the Michelin Super Sport tires that offer so much more grip than the standard setup.

The company is renown for using superchargers to obtain more power from their cars while still maintaining a nice beautiful delivery.

If its smoothness you’re interested in, it has to be a BMW you’re looking at and there’s a good chance at the aging M3 is the likely candidate.

As everybody waits for the F30 to amaze us, there’s a lot of people interested in getting more more and torque out of the E92’s engine.

VF offer a variety of kits but the one they’re announcing today is the VF540 Streetsport package. This is the reasonable price option, the one that provides more power but doesn’t force any major work on the car.

You do get an ECU remap and there’s even some work being done to the throttle but overall we’re looking at a bolt on type of upgrade.

It may be in an unpleasant category but the final result takes the power of the M3 up from 420 horsepower and 295 lb/ft of torque to 540 horsepower and 370 lb/ft of torque.

More than a reasonable gain that obviously come with a loss of some fuel economy levels. At the same time you’re watching that, there’s a loss of $8.295 from your account to get the thing in the first place.

Money well spent, it’s likely given you a car that has more performance in a straight line than the upcoming M3.

In some cases that’s true and it seems that things are getting worse. That direction seems to have spun off with tuner cars built around the same idea…

Senner Tuning have a package for the BMW X6 diesel, the xDrive40d version that seems to be in a very narrow market spot.

Here’s the outset, you want a faster version of the BMW X6 but you still want the inherent fuel economy of a diesel you can always buy the X6 M Performance.

Trouble is, that new tri-turbo seemingly too complicated engine isn’t really cheap. In fact, it’s so expensive it’s only marginally cheaper than the BMW X6M.

Senner Tuning provides a 10 percent increase in the performance of the 3.0 liter straight six cylinder engine without too much damage to the fuel economy.

Having 336 horsepower and 490 lb-ft of torque under the bonnet will certainly make a difference. Just like the new design kit will.

Essentially, Senner Tuning provides a rip-off BMW X6 M lower body kit, a couple of subtle rear spoilers and a set of awesome 22 inch multi-spoke alloys from Hamann.

Really, it’s hard to fault the package, especially when you consider only costs some 35.000 dollars. It’s definitely not cheap but it’s certainly not as expensive as the M Performance version.

Also, since most of the parts are off-the-shelf BMW ones, maintenance and repairs shouldn’t put a dent in the budget either.
