The S58 3.0 liter twin-turbo inline-six continues to be used in the MH3 GTR. The output is increased to 641 horsepower (478 kilowatts) and 590 pound-feet of torque using Manhart’s MHtronik auxiliary control unit. This is a significant improvement over the factory-specified 503 horsepower (375 kW) and 479 lb-ft of torque (650 Nm).

Additionally, Manhart provides many exhaust enhancements. The typical configuration consists of four 3.9-inch (100-millimeter) diameter tips, four stainless steel pipes with valves to control sound, and stainless steel pipes. The outlets can alternatively be had with a ceramic or carbon coating.

The tuner offers a racing setup sans cats, sports downpipes with 300-cell catalytic converters, and an Otto particulate filter deletion with 200-cell catalytic converters. However, Manhart sells the components for export despite the fact that they lack TÜV approval for usage on German roads. .

The MH3 GTR should be able to handle the road slightly better than the already outstanding M3 Competition. The purchaser has a choice between a lowering kit with H&R springs and the Manhart Variant 4 Coilover configuration using KW components.

Manhart doesn’t change the brakes. However, the tuner is happy to make those modifications if the buyer of the MH3 GTR requests them.

The firm adds a few minor aesthetic changes to the M3 Competition. The hood, back deck, and trunk lid of the MH3 GTR are all lighter gray with a dark gray body. The body receives carbon components for the diffuser, side skirts, rear lip spoiler, and aero flicks at the front corners.

The car is supported by six-spoke wheels that are 9×20 inches in the front and 10.5×20 inches in the back. In these pictures, they have a satin black finish, but Manhart can produce them in any color the customer wishes.

Recaro Podium front seats with a complete carbon-fiber shell are the only interior upgrade. Under the headrest, there is an embossed Manhart logo.

Manhart’s announcement is mum on the cost of the MH3 GTR. For comparison, a 2023 M3 Competition costs $77,695 with rear-wheel drive and $81,795 with all-wheel drive (after the $995 destination fee).

The blue is meant to symbolize the “vastness of space” and how the 8 Series is a “globally available product,” according to BMW and Koons. The comic-style stickers on the sides “symbolize the vehicle’s power and speed,” according to Koons, while the dashed lines refer to a 2010 E92 M3 GT2 Art Car also created by him.

The stickers also go well with the interior’s bold red and blue leather, which was ostensibly inspired by superheroes. BMW did not mention if Koons is a fan of Spider-Man or Superman. BMW did point out that it takes 11 phases to complete the car’s paint, and it will only be completing two vehicles each week.

There will only be 99 Koons 8 Series pieces available globally. It will only be offered in the M850i xDrive version in the United States, where it will cost $350,995, more than three times as much as a base M850i xDrive. Christie’s will hold an auction for one of the examples that will be on exhibit from April 1–4 at Rockefeller Plaza. Undoubtedly, the price will increase, but all the money raised will be donated to the International Center for Missing & Exploited Children.

The current BMW M5 CS facelift is the most powerful, lightest and most expensive M5 ever. But the German tuning company G-Power has found a new way to push the limits of the Bavarian sedan even further: with a series of performance packages, of course.

The basic package is called GP-700 and increases the power of the twin-turbo V8 engine, 4.4 liters, to 700 horsepower and 850 Nm, thanks to software improvements. Then comes the GP-740 with 740 hp and 900 Nm, and the GP-780 increases with another 40 hp and 50 Nm.

In addition to the software changes, the GP-820 version also offers some hardware, which is why the power rises to 820 hp and 1,000 Nm. The top version, the GP-900, is by far the most impressive.

It includes, among other things, new turbines and a four-millimeter four-end exhaust system. These make the V8 engine develop 900 horsepower and 1,050 Nm.

Aesthetically, G-Power offers forged wheels up to 21 inches in diameter, a carbon hood and a discreet aileron.

The price of the new performance packages varies between 2,495 and 23,640 euros.

To turn the BMW M8 Competition into a true supercar, the Manhart tuner brought the power of the 4.4-liter V8 twin-turbo engine to 823 hp. The maximum torque is also high at 1,050 Nm. The increase in power translates into a 0-100 km / h sprint in 2.6 seconds.

Thus doped, the Manhart MH8 800 model, as it was named, is as fast as a Porsche 911 Turbo S. To accelerate from 0 to 200 km / h, the M8 modified by Manhart needs only 5.7 seconds.

In addition to the engine modifications, Manhart also applied a number of customizations to the body including a number of not very subtle gold accents. The 21-inch wheels have a special design, and the suspension has been modified, the ground clearance being 30 mm lower.

The exhaust system is also passed through the tuner’s hand, and the sound has been amplified. The final discharges are made of carbon fiber.

Together with AutoTopNL, Manhart also released a video in which the brutal acceleration from 0 to 311 km/h can be seen on a stretch of motorway without a speed limit in Germany:

The BMW X5M and X6M are a well-known basis for tuning. This is due to the 4.4-liter twin-turbo V8 engine, which has proven to have a lot of potential. The Bavarian V8 develops 625 horsepower and 750 Nm in its most powerful version (available on Competition models).

Dähler, a Swiss tuning company, said the cars were not fast enough. As a result, they offer the possibility to increase engine performance to 700 horsepower and 840 Nm of torque. Optionally, you can also choose to raise the maximum speed to 302 km / h. All these are available for a price of 3,986 euros.

A second level of tuning is under development and promises 740 horsepower and 880 Nm.

The changes don’t just stop in the engine management area. For 5,780 euros, Dähler also offers a 116 mm stainless steel exhaust system. Also, a set of sports springs is available for 1,375 euros, and to complete the exterior, the Swiss also provide a set of 23-inch forged rims.

The rims, called CDC1, can be ordered in different colors and are priced at 13,382 euros. Last but not least, Dähler claims that they are 35% lighter than conventional ones.

The tuning company has not forgotten the owners of the BMW X5 M50i for which it has prepared a tuning package that can raise the power from 530 to 630 horsepower, and the torque will be identical to that of the X5M: 840 Nm (improved from 750 Nm). A 101 mm four-outlet stainless steel exhaust can also be ordered.

The HRE wheels look extremely cool on this BMW M4 Coupe, the model now getting a more aggressive attitude and increase stance. The entire installation has been carried out by the technicians from Wheels Boutique.

The high-performance HRE Wheels are sized 20 x 9.5 up front and 20 x 10.5 at the rear, and come with Gloss Black finish and the OEM BMW logo. The wheels have also been wrapped in Michelin Pilot Super Sport rubbers, measuring 265/30/20 and 295/30/20 front and rear, respectively.

As for new body elements, the aftermarket specialists from Wheels Boutique didn’t want to spoil the car`s stock yet exquisite design and decided to leave it be. After all, it`s the new wheels that makes this particular model so exceptional.

As for the car`s performance, no word for now of a power package. So this one remains stock with the 3.0-liter inline six-cylinder TwinPower Turbo engine, with 431 horsepower and 500 Nm of torque. As we already know, it delivers a sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.3 seconds, when hooked to a six-speed manual. With the seven-speed M-DCT, the same straight line is done in 4.1 seconds. The top speed is electronically limited at 250 km/h.

F10 BMW M5 was presented yesterday at the Geneva Motor Show with a new look, more nervous than the stock one, but unfortunately the price wasn’t revealed.

Among the first things added by Hamann to the F10 BMW M5 include a wide body-kit which added 30mm on both sides, a modified front bumper that covers half the lights giving it a touch nervous that added a great new look considering it’s BMW, a brand that summarizes the sporty, so everything was done to look like “bad boy”.

Other changes to this Mi5Sion BMW M5 are carbon fiber components which were added to the doors, new side skirts, an integrated diffuser to the rear bumper, a roof spoiler and many more that you can see here in the pictures.

Also, under the hood is the stock BMW M5’s V8 engine with 4.4-liter with its output of 560hp which delivers 680Nm of torque so here wasn’t added any tuning to this Mi5sion F10 BMW M5.

Speaking of wheels, as Hamann shows us, the tires’ manufacturer is Vredenstein, Ultrac Vorti R model along with 21″ forged wheels. The sizes of tires are 305mm rear and 265mm at the front that changed the stability in a better one.

The package is available from 640i to the M6.

LUMMA relied heavily on weight reduction mainly due to its carbon hood. That hood is composed of full carbon and some air intakes that help ventilate the engine and also all below it.

BMW CLR 6 M comes with 325/25/21 rear wheels and 275/30/21 front wheels, all with 21 inch rims Lumma.

Also on the aerodynamics, besides hood which was designed specifically for this purpose there is the rear difuser added to the rear bumper along with 4 tail pipes which are inox made.

The tuning was especially done inside these beautiful BMW models, but not only. At the outside a white matte foil was applied along with some new beautiful rims. Vilner added new spoilers to the rear hoods, and the rear lights were also given a make-up.

You know that the cars without any tuning on them are looking like stunning, but what to say when you see that they were improved? They received a gorgeus look now.

Let’s firstly talk about the tuning for the F10 BMW 5 Series. The interior comes with a black and white theme with red accents.

The Board is white leather made, door fronts and seats are black alcantara made with inserts of red to the seatbelts, seats and the armrest between the front seats.

Regarding the tuning for F12 BMW 6 Series, the latest generation of the Bavarian coupe boasts a more classic combination of only two colors, combining black and white leather inserts on the dashboard, the door panels and seats with alcantara accents of black color fully present in the ceiling, or only partially in the three-spoke steering wheel design and sport front seats.
