Right from the start, the BMW 440i Gran Coupe attracts through sheer beauty and simplicity in design. With the M Performance upgrade the car design seems to be making a step towards a more aggressive look. The BMW 440i Gran Coupe with M Performance parts builds on the classy, premium feel of its stock counterpart, adding new elements that seamlessly integrate with the rest of the car’s structure.

This particular BMW 440i Gran Coupe has been fitted with an M Performance Power Kit which adds 20HP to the original 335HP. While to some the increase in performance may seem minimal, it is enough to change the overall feeling of the vehicle’s handling. As a result, the car seems more agile and easy to maneuver. The BMW 440i Gran Coupe with M Performance parts is not about maximizing performance. This particular build is all about balance.

On the visual side, the BMW 440i Gran Coupe with M Performance parts sports a carbon fiber front lip, a carbon fiber rear diffuser and a carbon fiber spoiler. Together with the new M Performance exhaust, the BMW 440i Gran Coupe with M Performance parts certainly looks more aggressive than its stock counterpart. The addition of 21 inch rims also contributes to the aggressive side of this particular build. The changes are subtle though. The identity of the car has been kept mostly untouched.

The interior of the vehicle seems to follow the same formula as the exterior. The classy leather interior has been kept intact. Carbon fiber additions were made here and there in order to comply with the sportier look of the exterior. The car’s interior seems to perfectly fit with the exterior. Both sides seem to mix well together, thus giving the car a finished product feel.

The BMW 440i Gran Coupe with M Performance parts is a sporty reinterpretation of the original BMW 440i. With slight changes to its performance and aspect, this variant of the BMW 440i Gran Coupe may appeal to those that seek a perfect balance between classy and sporty, between fast and comfortable. This rendition of the BMW 440i has definitely attracted a lot of attention at this year’s SEMA show.

This variant of the BMW M5 F90 looked sportier and racier than its stock counterpart. The M Power stripes are the first clue towards what lies hidden under the vehicle’s hood. The 4.4 liter bi-turbo V8 engine outputs 600HP. This particular BMW M5 F90 does 0 to 100km/h in just over 3 seconds. With these specs there is no doubt about how powerful this BMW is. The BMW M5 F90 with M Performance Parts belongs more to the racetrack than to the city streets. Other performance upgrades on the BMW M5 F90 include sportier suspension and a new exhaust system.

The aspect of this particular BMW M5 F90 is also significantly altered. Front and rear bumpers have been changed with more aggressive looking ones. Carbon fiber insertions in the bumpers, side skirts and rear view mirrors contribute to making the car lighter. The iconic kidney grills have also been slightly altered in comparison with the stock version of the BMW M5 F90. Overall the changes made to the exterior contribute both at raising the performance and improving the car’s personality.

Contributing to the latter is also the alpine white paint and the specific M Power stripes. It may seem as if these lines have been used a tad too much, however, their presence only reinforces the M Power spirit that the parts together with the car itself embody. The arctic white shade of white used perfectly complements the presence of the M Power lines as well as the carbon fiber additions. This BMW M5 F90 with M Performance parts seems to harmoniously integrate all elements into its original design.

The BMW M5 F90 with M Performance parts is an improvement of the original formula with a suite of specific upgrades that seem to complete the already fantastic experience this car has to offer. The sporty feeling and the aggressive look fit in well with this particular variant of the car. Like in the case of most BMW improvements the original Bavarian spirit has been left intact. The M Performance improvements build upon this spirit and make it stand out even more.

Build for the new BMW M4, the wide body kit was previewed earlier and, as expected, is quite awesome.

Named the GTRS4 body kit, the new tuning project looks amazing, a fitting way for the aftermarket specialist Vorsteiner of celebrating 10 years of dedication to tuning BMWs. For those of you that already have seen the previewed clay moldings, not much surprise is left.

The car received very wide wheel arches, along with redesigned front and rear bumpers to go with them. Vorsteiner also fitted the BMW M4 with their GTS carbon fiber front splitter and rear diffuser. A complete new visual overhaul is accomplished by a new set of rims. And for the cherry on top is a nice ECU tune that bring the power up to a reported 550 Hp.

Basically, no self respecting tuner or manufacturer could miss out on it, which is why Vorsteiner showcased the most important piece of craftsmanship on their list.

With that in mind, it’s no surprise to see them opt for the Vorsteiner GTRS5 package they developed for the E92 BMW M3 Coupe.

It’s a widebody kit we’ve actually covered before that brings full racing car aero body work to the E92 Coupe that you use on the road.

The paint job and the oversized alloy wheels may be a tad too much for anybody to take a car like this serious as a racer but the floors or SEMA are built on stuff like this.

If we’re to really sync our talk on the alloy wheels, there are some positive points to the discussion. For starters, they’re very light units.

Aside from minimizing the un-sprung weight, the wheels are the perfect mounting space for some seriously high performance tires.

Speaking of which, Vorsteiner don’t really offer any actual mechanical improvements for the situation under the bonnet.

Since they offer a new wide body kit, there is a lot more room for such mods and we all know this website is full of possible options on that front.

The only thing that’s making me curious about this Vorsteiner GTRS5 E92 BMW M3 Coupe they’ve showcased at SEMA is why is Giovanna written on the side?

From what we’ve getting so far from the 2012 edition, none of the BMW models that have been prepped for the event are in the second category.

We’ve already seen the amazing F10 BMW M5 project from the guys at IND getting ready for the show and now we get to hear from a huge name in tuning.

Feast your eyes on the black diamond of the DUB Garage booth outside the Las Vegas show that seems to be dominating the talk of the automotive industry.

They had quite the setup to consider but bit we’re interested in is a E63 BMW 650i Coupe. This is a considerably straight forward setup.

Get a black painted car that’s already impressive looking, murder it out with smoked lights and tinted windows and then fit an ostentatious set of wheels.

I’d love to estimate the size of the new alloys (as it wasn’t officially included in the release) but I sit and ponder, what on Earth is the point.

They seem to have absolutely no take in the way the tires fit around them. We’ve seen rubber bands on pickle jars that took less of a strain.

It’ll probably be completely useless in terms of usage in the real world but who’d use them out there? A car like this is used for shows and maybe one short cruise on a completely flat boulevard.

It all seems a little too well planned however we’re almost sure that under the skin, this was a project that saw many sleepless nights under the pressure of a deadline.

Come the premiere however, I’m sure they had themselves a good drink since they deserved it. It’s all been worth it and everybody who’ll buy one of these will enjoy it every day.

The body kit is developed in collaboration with 3D Design and Challenge Engineering. It not only looks great, it manages to refine the aerodynamics of the M5 and is lighter than the standard setup.

The carbon fiber used in the roof alone saves 50 lbs whereas the new trunk cover sheds another 22 pounds. Extra weight is lost inside by replacing the normal chairs with some Recaro buckets.

The roll cage probably adds back in though. Keeping with the handling focus, the suspension gets KW ClubSport coilovers and the brakes are now coming from CarboTech.

Really, even without talking about the very light alloy wheels or the Falken high-performance tires, the IND F10 BMW M5 sounds like a wonderful car to drive.

Given what it started out in life, and in factoring a new exhaust system from Eisenmann for the S63Tu engine, it’s pretty much impossible to fault this car.

Despite this, IND are telling us they’re about to make a Stage two performance package which will bring out more grunt from the 4.4 liter twin-turbo V8.
