With this particular build it’s all about color. Whether you look on the outside and you notice the rather rare Imola Red shade, or you check out the interior and you admire the bright red leather seats, this BMW M760Li xDrive is quite eye catching. The color adds a little extra to the car’s already enchanting personality. No matter how you look at it, this car looks fantastic.

In order to complete the look, the folks over at 3D Design have added a couple of exterior goodies to the mix. The front bumper has been improved with a stylish front splitter. The carbon fiber mirrors fit well with the Imola Red shade. The trunk spoiler has also suffered some minor changes. Its color now matches the rest of the car’s red shade. A new set of M Performance rims wraps up the exterior look of this car. Without a doubt this particular build is well balanced. Nothing is overdone. Everything seems to fit well in its intended place.

The interior centerpiece is represented by the red leather seats. Apart from the seats, certain details around the interior have also been color matched. Yet again, nothing seems overdone. Just like in the case of the exterior there seems to be a great sense of balance when it comes to integrating the new changes in the car’s original structure. All these improvements seem to build on the existing personality of the car. The result is amazing.

When it comes to the engine performance, the BMW M760Li xDrive is surprising as is. With this said, there is no surprise in the fact that not many changes have been done to the engine. The almost 7 liter V12 monster from under the hood is capable of producing 600HP. It does 0 to 100km/h in a little under 4 seconds. Given the size and weight of this particular model, this car’s performance is outstanding. With performance and looks on its side, this unique Imola Red BMW M760Li xDrive by 3D Design is something any real BMW fan would love to have in his private collection.

For the BMW M550i xDrive the 4 liter V8 engine is improved with M Performance upgrades. The injection system improvements, as well as its turbochargers help this BMW output an incredible 456HP. The BMW M550i reaches 250km/h from 0km/h in about 4 seconds. The car’s maximum speed is electronically limited to 250km/h, leaving plenty of room for improvements in this department. The car is perfectly balanced. The M550i xDrive looks and feels great.

When it comes to looks, even though the modifications on this particular build are not hefty, this BMW M550i has its personality changed. The Bluestone Metallic paintjob fits in well with the added aftermarket parts. In fact, it gives the car a slightly aggressive look. The centerpiece of this particular build is represented by the HRE RS200M rims. Wrapped in Pirelli P-Zero tires, these rims contribute to the sporty look of the car. Interesting enough the rim size has been kept the same as in the case of the stock M550i, 19 inches.

The folks over at Wheels Boutique seem to have kept this project as simple as possible. The core BMW elements remain untouched. The BMW M550i is a classy, luxurious car. The upgrades are meant to further build on these two particular coordinates. They make the car more visible through the emphasis put on certain characteristics of this model. The performance upgrades follow the same formula. They build on the existing particularities of the car’s engine.

The BMW M550i xDrive with HRE rims by Wheels Boutique is a reminder of how simple upgrade plans can fully change the aspect and feel of a car. It is also a reminder that upgrades should not necessarily alter a vehicle’s identity, but rather build on its already existing features, bringing out the best of it. The people at Wheels Boutique have successfully completed another project by harmoniously matching aftermarket parts with one of the most well received BMW models up to this point, something that directly contributes to the increased prestige of this team of tuning specialists.

When it comes to BMW you can always rest assured that the final product is based on two aspects: performance and design aggressiveness. It’s hard to imagine how these two aspects could be further explored in the aftermarket world, however it is possible. One such example is the BMW M550d xDrive improved by the folks at G-Power. The car is more aggressive and more powerful than ever.

The first thing you notice when looking at the BMW M550d xDrive’s exterior is the glossy black paint that seems to blend well with the minor exterior modifications done by G-Power. The sheer aggressiveness is surprising, given the fact that the car was already aggressive enough in its stock form. The unmistakable kidney grills have the classic, yet stylish, metallic finish. The G-Power badges and the amazing set of black rims wrap up the exterior package and complete the car’s new look in an extravagant yet cohesive way.

The BMW M550d xDrive by G-Power is a monster waiting to be unleashed. With the car already outputting sheer performance in its stock form it seemed rather impossible for any third party aftermarket tuner to further improve what was under the M550d’s hood. G-Power somehow managed to prove everybody wrong by tuning the 3 liter, six cylinder diesel from 400PS to a staggering 460PS. Every bit of performance the engine had was squeezed and taken to the next level.

The interior has not been modified at all. In the end it seems plausible, as G-Power seems to have concentrated more on the performance aspect of the BMW M550d xDrive. The price for this tuning package offered by G-Power is priced at a breathtaking 2,318 Euros which is the equivalent of 2,700 dollars. G-Power has explained that the whole process of beefing up the engine lies in the adjustment of the ECU unit within the BMW M550d xDrive.

The BMW M550d xDrive by G-Power is the expression of perfection. It embodies the remarkable traits of the BMW brand while adding a bit of an aftermarket perspective regarding the vehicle’s look, feel and performance. The result is a very appealing G-Power style BMW M550d xDrive and quite a number of customers interested in purchasing this variant of the M550d. G-Power has proven once again that style and performance can be achieved without necessarily overdoing it.

It is only now that they’ve made the 2013 Alpina B7’s model pricing available. The model is available in four trims with rear or all wheel drive.

All versions of the car are based on the BMW 750i and come with the same 4.4-liter twin-turbocharged V8 engine that’s the base for most M powered cars these days.

In the 2013 Alpina B7 the motor has been tweaked to an output of 540 horsepower and 538 lb-ft of torque. The power figure may have gone up but the gearbox is the same.

You’ll be relying on the same eight speed ZF-sourced automatic transmission as before since it can apparently take the extra grunt just fine.

On the serious decision and choice front you’ll have to tick some boxes on the Alpina order form and find out if you want the short or long wheelbase version of the car.

The xDrive all wheel drive version is now ever more popular with luxury cars so that’s going to be a tricky decision as well.

Before all these decisions are made, you’ll have to figure out if you can manage to swing the asking price around.

Alpina will be charging $128.495 for a standard B7 and 131.495 for one with xDrive. Move up market to the stretched version and the price starts at 132.395 USD.

Finally, the top of the line long wheelbase model with the added comfort of all whee drive will set you back 135.395 USD.

They don’t mess about with the motor shows, they don’t give the styling too much attention but they do get down to making performance and handling packages.

Further more, in the case of the F10 5 Series they’re willing to demonstrate just what they do as simply and efficiently as possible.

This time, they’ve chosen to demonstrate the BMW 525d xDrive’s new power kit. Since this is a power kit, there’s no nonsense talk of body kits or wheels.

All they do is make a “before and after” video during Autobahn testing of the acceleration the diesel 5er can provide in standard and modified trim.

The standard BMW 525d xDrive develops 218 horsepower and 332 lb-ft of torque from a 2.0 liter turbocharged four cylinder engine.

That same powerplant, but with a Hartge chip, now churns out 258 horsepower and 391 lb-ft of torque which makes quite the difference.

We’re not told about the classic measure of 0 to 62 acceleration or just what sort of top speed the F10 BMW 5 Series could reach upon receiving these mods.

Instead, Hartge is once again a practical tuner and gives us a video of a real world test, acceleration between 80 and 180 km/h. That’s about 50 to 112 mph.

The result speaks for itself. The standard car completes this sprint in 20.92 seconds and the modified one manages to make quite the difference at 15.91 seconds.

5 Seconds is enormous in a quick overtaking situation at these speeds.
