  • BMW M4 DTM Champion Edition Individualized by TVW Car Design

    TVW Car Design BMW M4 DTM Champion Edition Front ViewBMW M4 DTM Champion Edition was released back in October last year. If you remember well, then you should also know that this car was released to pay tribute to the DTM Champion Marco Wittmann. The car was released in 23 units only, which number isn’t coincidental but inspired by the number 23 on Marco’s championship winning racecar.

    BMW M4 DTM Champion Edition is Tribute to Marco Wittmann

    With all of its fantastic additional elements, it is very hard for comprehension that someone could want extra equipment. Precisely, to make the perfect tribute car, the exterior shade is in Alpine White, which mimics the Ice Watch on Marco Wittmann’s BMW M4 DTM racecar.

    Just like on the racecar, the road coupe also received a bonnet, roof and boot lid finished in matt black and emblazoned with colourful stripes. There are also BMW kidney grilles outlined in orange as well as a decal set with lateral stripes, starting numbers, and flags and logos. Matt black 19-inch alloy wheels are also featured in the stock package.

    But this is not everything. Based on the M4 series, the vehicle also gets as standard M Performance collection components, including black front splitter, rocker blades, carbon-fibre front flaps, carbon-fibre door mirror caps and rear spoiler and diffuser inserts.

    Furthermore, the production model also has very impressive interior, which features carbon-fibre trim on dashboard, centre console and steering wheel. The dashboard also wears the lettering “DTM Champion Edition” and the sequential number of this Special Edition. The special sill plates, that show how exclusive this car is, also carry the signature of the 25-year-old DTM champion.

    TVW Car Design’s Work Adds More to This

    Obviously, the experts at TVW Car Design received a customer, who whished his or hers BMW M4 DTM Champion Edition to get even more distinctive appearance. Starting with the alloys, they have been substituted with BBS FI one-piece forged ones in 20-inch size. Of course, they were fitted with corresponding Michelin Pilot Super Sport UHP tires.

    The handling was also improved. The experts at TVW Car Design added KW’s Clubsport fully adjustable coil-over suspension as well as Akrapovic Evolution Line titanium exhaust system. The latter features carbon-fibre tail pipes, which are integrated into the carbon rear diffuser.

    Improved Power Output

    The stock output of this BMW is 431 hp (317 kW) and 550 Nm (406 lb-ft). M4’s 3.0-liter turbocharged straight six motor needed a little bit of boost achieved not only by the Akrapovic titanium exhaust system but also by the additional ECU increase. The result is impressive: 517 hp (380 kW and 700 Nm (517 lb-ft).

    Maybe all of the mentioned modifications won’t appeal to everyone, since this is already a substantially modified production vehicle. However, TVW Car Design’s interpretation of the DTM Champion Edition offers a little bit different meaning than the stock M4 Coupe.

  • Hamann and fostla.de Unite For a Special Mirr6r BMW M6 Project

    Hamann BMW M6 F13 Mirr6r by fostla.de Front and Side ViewHamann BMW M6 F13 Mirr6r by fostla.de is a project which involves not one but two tuning companies. This may sound a little bit flamboyant to you, but just take a look at the pictures in our gallery and you will find out how beautiful this car looks. Not to repeat that this is a BMW M6.

    Under modification was the second generation M6, which will end up sportier and better looking. Read how this was achieved.

    Extensive Tuning by Hamann

    To make a comparison later, I should first mention the stock power output of the BMW M6 F13. Its production engine, produces 560 HP (412 kW) and 680 Nm (502 lb-ft) of maximum torque.

    SEE ALSO: Hamann Offers new Styling for BMW M4 F82

    After the power optimization done solely by Hamann experts via add-on control device, the M6 received racing capabilities. As a result, the BMW pumps out 650 HP (478 kW) at 6,000 to 7,000 rpm and 850 Nm (627 lb-ft) of maximum torque at 1,500 to 5,750 rpm. Which is way better than the serial numbers, isn’t it?

    To complement the extensive tuning of BMW’s engine, Hamann has also developed a special Mirr6r kit. It adds a lot of details like the front apron and two front wings for example. The face of the BMW M6 also received a new carbon aero bonnet.

    The sides on the other hand are characterized by new skirts and multi-spoke ‘Anniversary Evo’ alloys. At the rear, we see broader rear wings, a central rear bezel, the rear apron and a three-part rear wing. At last, the exhaust proudly shows-off with silver end pipe bezels.

    Styling Touches by fostla.de

    The final touches to this project have been applied by the specialists at fostla.de. To round out the work of Hamann, they have done two things. The first one is to add full wrapping in expressive blue-chrome-matt. And the second and last one is to tint all windows. And this is how the unique Hamann BMW M6 F13 Mirr6r by fostla.de was born.

    Expressive BiColor Exterior

    This 4 Series Gran Coupé was specifically produced by specialists at BMW Individual, who left a prominent impression with their work. Basically, there is “no larger contrast than black and white” and this design philosophy has been applied here.

  • Vorsteiner BMW M4 Gets EVO Aero Kit

    Vorsteiner BMW M4 EVO Aero Front ViewVorsteiner BMW M4 EVO Aero is the last one of the four Bavarians featured today. Next to the M4 Convertible, X6 and the 7-Series, this one will make the perfect cream of the joke. What is so special about it? Well, I like simplicity and the fact that it looks stylish enough. It has also has been revealed through several very good pictures, which you can view below.

    Not to mention that it is an M-Series, meaning that it has to offer 425hp coming from its twin-turbo inline six-cylinder engine. The unit is connected to a paddle-shifted seven-speed automatic that drives the rear-wheels. Furthermore, the M4 is originally made with a lot of carbon fiber infused in it, including the driveshaft, so this makes it even more attractive.

    Vorsteiner’s EVO Aero Program

    Just like mbDESIGN’s M4 Convertible, this one comes out from the factory in Mineral White metallic exterior colour. So basically, this was the starting point of the tuners at Vorsteiner, who immediately decided to add an EVO Aero Program. Oh, and there are also some black graphic elements featured on the hood.

    Vorsteiner BMW M4 EVO Aero Wheels

    The aerodynamic enhancements comprise of aero front spoiler and Evo Deck Lid spoiler. The latter comes in contrasting black, and it is also good to mention that both parts have been made from lightweight carbon fiber.

    SEE ALSO: Vorsteiner with Minor Updates for the BMW 4-Series

    There are two other additions to the package: the GTS diffuser and exhaust tip set that will make the V6 under the hood of the M4 sound uncompromising. The last touch, added by the Californian-based studio is the wheels. They are 20-inch big, multi-spoke and come in Carbon Graphite.

    How many BMWs would you like to see daily featured on our site? I know it is never enough when it comes to Bavarians but specifics would be appreciated. Stay tuned and get involved!

  • G-Power BMW 760i Breaks Standards with 610HP

    G-Power BMW 760i Front ViewG-Power BMW 760i or in other words the next BMW featured on our site today. This time, knowing that G-Power is extremely capable in boosting performance, we will focus exactly on this. Or to say it like this, you will find out how the experts have managed to add 66 hp and 120 Nm to this 7-Series.

    Precisely, the V12 bi-turbo engine in the current 760i F01 is capable of boasting 544 hp (400 kW) and 750 Nm (554 lb-ft) of torque. This is quite impressive, but when it comes to engine tuning, people always demand more.

    G-Power is Not Satisfied with Stocks 544HP

    G-Power BMW 760i Engine View

    As a result, the great looking BMW 760i received a Bi-Tronik 5 V1 performance module from G-Power. It has been installed between the factory ECU and its data bus input. In addition, the module starts working only when the driver demands full throttle.

    G-Power BMW 760i F01 adds 66HP.

    SEE ALSO: G-POWER BMW M3 Comes with Tremendous Torque Results!

    The result is stunning and it is 610 hp (513 kW) at 6,000rpm and 870 Nm (642 lb-ft) of maximum torque achieved at 2,600 rpm. If you wonder about the acceleration time, it is obvious that when you add more horsepower, you will also achieve much faster results. So, the 0-100 km/h sprint is now covered in just 4.3 seconds.

    However, these extra 66 hp literally demand additional sporting dimensions. First, the reliability and longevity of the V12 engine is kept intact via the built-in protection system of the module. How does it work? It does not allow the extra power to be used until the prescribed engine coolant temperature has been reached.

    More Power = Better Wheels

    G-Power BMW 760i Side View

    Next, to make it look even more monstrous and complement the additional output, the specialists at G-Power have also added 21-inch diameter HURRICANE RR forged alloys in Jet Black with a DIAMOND CUT finish. Then, they have fitted the new wheels with Michelin tires in the dimensions of 255/35ZR21 at the front and 295/30ZR21 at the rear.

    Much better than the original ones, right? So what do you think of this BMW?

  • mbDESIGN BMW M4 Convertible is Perfect For Hot Summer Days

    mbDESIGN BMW M4 Convertible front viewmbDESIGN BMW M4 Convertible is not only perfect for the summer, because it is all about an open top experience, but it is also the first of the four BMWs that are going to be featured on AutomobilesReview today. Let me tell you about what you should expect: there is another M4, a 7-Series and a huge and aggressively looking X6. Well, there is also a Lambo and an Audi. But in general the day is mostly dedicated to the Bavarian car manufacturer.

    BMW M4 Convertible or any convertible is probably the best choice for the hot summer days (sorry Aussies, I know it’s winter there). But if you don’t have a convertible you can always count on the air-conditioning. Now we are going to bring our attention more on the first case and imagine that we are actually owning and driving a BMW M4 Convertible.

    Benefits of Driving an M4 … With Some Simple Additions

    mbDESIGN BMW M4 Convertible  Rear View

    The first thing that probably many would do is contacting a customizer, so that their car could look even more individual. And in case they are not into big changes, then they will contact companies which specialize in the details. For instance, such are the experts at mbDESIGN, who are able to recognise their customer’s individuality and to respond to their wishes.

    SEE ALSO: Alpha-N Performance Gives BMW M4 Output and Aero Tweaks 

    mbDESIGN have spectacular skills in making one-off alloys. And even more: this is perfectly visible via this M4 Convertible, which rides on 21-inch version of the VENTi-R Turbine Design. They come in gloss black and feature polished rim flange.

    In other words, they perfectly contrast the 431 hp Mineral White metallic exterior of the M4 Convertible, which has been also fitted with factory Shadow Line optics. Inside, the leather seats are also special and are more in color-harmony with the alloys.

    At the front we have 9×21-inch ET25 with a flush face, while the rear received 11×21-inch ET38 with deep dished centre. To make everything look perfect, mbDESIGN added 255/30ZR21 and 295/25ZR21Continental Sport Contact 5P tyres.

    At last, we should say that there is this saying: “the bigger the wheels, the lower the right height”. So it is no surprise that the tuners decided to bring the vehicle closer to the ground with the help of 30 mm using H&R sport springs.

  • RevoZport BMW M4 Exemplifies the Best Way to Boost Your M-Series

    RevoZport BMW M4BMW M3 and M4 are probably examples of the most praised German cars around the world. And when it comes to M series, BMW enthusiasts always go crazy, don’t they? This is beneficial especially for tuning companies, because they always offer help when it comes to making the most individual, the best looking and most performance-capable car.

    The same counts for the enhancement program that just has been released by RevoZport. The experts have created a special RZ-Performance aerokit for the BMW M3 and M4 models. In the gallery below, you will find pictures of the M4 series only, which has been equipped with the special pack.

    BMW M3 has always been one of the most praised models and now it gets the most practical aerokit.

    SEE ALSO: R-Zentric is the new “Black” for Tesla Model S [VIDEO]

    Basically, the aero kit offers a little bit more aggressive interpretation of the M3 and M4. And please note, that it has been specifically created for the models equipped BMW Performance Package, meaning that they will already have an extra exhaust, intake or whatsoever. By the way, this is probably the best way to improve your Bavarian’s performance.

    This is why RevoZport’s M aerokit steps on the BMW Performance products and adds a list of additional enhancements.

    RZ-Performance Aerokit for BMW M3 & M4

    RevoZport BMW M4 Rear View

    As you can see, the front of this M4 is characterized by add-on lip extension and side fender spoiler. And if you wonder how these extras affect the car, well they give it more aggressive look and also improve its down force.

    Furthermore, the brakes here received cooling duct, which comes with high temperature hose, air ducts and brakets. This helps in cooling the temperature of the front brakes, thus improving stopping performance.

    Some people say that the “devil is in the details”, and this is why we have probably missed the new side skirts at first glance. However, what helps in our “discovery” is the RevoZport-made BMW front fender spoiler. Combined with the new rear fender spoiler, this makes a harmonious finish to the overall design of the car.

    Cool new GT wing is visible within an instance.

    At last, rounding out the new visual effect is a special treatment to the rear end. Unlike the details, the GT wing is clearly visible within an instance. It is complemented by a two-element rear diffuser featuring a bumper skirts.

    Although RevoZport offers only an aero kit, and no improvement to the exhaust or engine’s performance, I believe that most BMW enthusiasts will be very keen on this project here. Basically, the pack has boosted the looks, aerodynamics and braking performance of the M4, and this makes it one of the most practical aerokits currently on the market.

First it is an M4 series, and as we all know, the most favorited among all M specifications are the M3s. The other reason is that the car has been customized by BMW Individual, which is Bavarian company’s official customization division. And we must say it looks fantastic and stands out with its own uniqueness.

  • G-POWER BMW M3 Comes with Tremendous Torque Results!

    G-Power BMW M3 Engine 2015 G-POWER BMW M3 F80 can pump out 560 horsepower and 720 Newton meters of torque. The reason for this is that the famous M3 series have received in-house developed Bi-Tronik 2 V2 remap. The difference here is that unlike generic remaps, this one is customized for the original control unit in the particular vehicle on the pictures below.

    Bi-Tronik 2 V2 Package for the G-POWER BMW M3

    What does this mean? The BMW M3 can now actually achieve maximum all-round performance enhancement. As a matter of fact, this is the hardest way to implement such upgrade. The reason for this is that one has to crack the factory 128-bit encryption first.

    SEE ALSO: G-Power Releases the Ultimate BMW M6 Capable of 1001 Horses! 

    The experts at G-POWER had obviously no hindrances in applying this method, because they have achieved great results. In addition, to prove that everything runs smoothly, they have made extensive test runs on the dyno and real world testing on the autobahns and country roads. The end effect is visible via the improved performance and outstanding drivability of the Bi-Tronik 2 V2 conversion.

    G-POWER BMW M3 Exterior Tuning

    G-Power BMW M3 Exterior

    Furthermore this G-POWEER BMW M3 also received some additional tuning improvements which support the Bi-Tronik 2 V2 package and perfectly complement it. Precisely, the tuners installed downpipes that substantially reduce the exhaust back pressure.

    In fact, the in-house made titanium exhaust system features four 90-millimeter tailpipes, but future customers can opt for titanium or carbon ones. It also includes a sound flap in the rear silencer with remote control regulation. Because of the lightweight materials, car’s weight dropped by up to 7.1 kg.

    Having a reduced unsprung mass means only a need of handling improvement. Hence, G-POWER added to this BMW M3 21-inch HURRICANE RR alloys and fitted them with 245/30ZR21 and 295/25ZR21 Michelin tires.

    The wheels are actually made of ultra-light aircraft-grade aluminium. They are available in Jet Black, Gun Metal Grey and Stardust Silver, and in this case come in the aforementioned grey color.

The Bavarian company has just introduced the Alpine White car and we immediately fell in love. I assume that the same thing will happen with you too.

Making it even more attractive is the fact that it will be strictly limited edition, with production of only ten units.
