    2020 JMS tuning

    As a result of the global corona pandemic, a year with practically no tuning fairs and meetings. After the Tuning World Bodensee in Friedrichshafen and the PS Days in Hanover, also the undisputed highlight of the year of the refinement and customization industry, the Essen Motor Show, was canceled, so that the community in this extraordinary season – apart from a few smaller events – practically only could come together online. How relatively this “only” can be rated, however, was shown by the tuning specialists at JMS Fahrzeugteile by hosting a mega-tuning event on the last Saturday of November and sending it out into the world via a professional live stream from the large forging hall of Motorworld Manufaktur Metzingen.

    In front of the great backdrop of the historic industrial building, JMS Managing Director Jochen Schweiker and especially presenter William De Fensfoster from d-fens.tv presented products and project vehicles from JMS customers, suppliers and business partners to the livestream viewers – even some world premieres were unveiled.

    For example, the suspension experts from KW suspensions rolled a Lamborghini Huracán with the brand new Variant 5 coilover suspension into the colorful spotlight of the forge hall, which was also equipped with an exclusive Novitec finish: In addition to a Torado N-Largo kit, the Italian fighting bull was wearing 9×20- and 12.5×21-inch rims with tires of the dimensions 245/30R20 and 325/25R21.

    ST suspensions, also a brand of the KW universe, presented the ST XTA Plus 3 coilover kit with 3-way adjustment as a world premiere. This was already installed in a Focus ST with 19-inch Motec MCR2 ultralight wheels.

    One of the program highlights was undoubtedly the world premiere of the two new wheel designs from the Barracuda Racing Wheels brand sold by JMS: The new “Dragoon” design from the Barracuda Ultralight Series was already installed on a VW Golf, while the Nissan Silvia drift car from the Drift Team “Driftinglele ” rolled on the new Barracuda motorsport rim “Summa”. Both wheels will be available in three different colors from next spring.

    JMS Fahrzeugteile presented various tuning conversions, the focus of which was on different segments, such as chassis technology, exhaust technology, body kits, wheels and much more. Particularly impressive: vehicles created as joint projects, for example in cooperation with KW, Eisenmann, Friedrich Motorsport, Senner Tuning, TR Exclusive, cardiologie and Schwabenfolia, such as a BMW M2 Competition, a Ford Focus ST or a 360 hp Cupra Leon ST.

    The exhaust gas experts from Eisenmann Exhaust provided the audience with technical information about their exhaust systems and presented a 3-series BMW of the current generation G20 with Oxigin alloy wheels and a Z4 with gasoline particle filter as project vehicles. As a world premiere, Eisenmann had brought new tailpipe variants.

    The “Multimedia” tuning segment was not neglected either: the Gladen car hi-fi specialists presented various components, illustrated by vehicles such as the BMW X5, Tesla Model 3, Hyundai i30 N or Mercedes-AMG A 35.

    RaceChip presented an increase in performance via a chip tuning box for the new Golf 8 and provided interesting information about the product range.

  • JMS meets JM Cardesign: Lotus Esprit sports car as a joint project

    2020 Lotus JM

    A true mid-engine classic from Great Britain, which has been manufactured over a truly long period of 28 years and continuously developed during this time, is the Lotus Esprit with up to 354 hp. The team from JM Car design from Bergheim near Cologne, in cooperation with JMS Fahrzeugteile, has given a copy of this unforgettable sports car a refinement in the form of a new wheelset.

    This presents itself absolutely stylish and contemporary: It is a three-part Kerscher CS rims in a filigree Y-spoke design with silver stars and polished and stepped outer beds. The dimensions are 8×17 inches at the front and an impressive 10×18 inches at the rear, which means that the wheel arches are really perfectly filled. The mounted tires measure 225/25ZR17 and 285/35ZR18.

    The implementation of the conversion, which, thanks to a special registration with JM Car design, is of course duly approved for road use, was quite demanding: The rims are specially tailored for this use, for which the brake contour and the available space in the wheel arches were measured in advance.

  • JMS announces new exclusive body kit for VW Golf 3

    2019 JMS Volkswagen Golf 3There’s an exclusive body kit for Golf 3 by JMS team. Remaining one of the most popular machines for upgrade and tuning, the 3rd series of the notorious VW lineup still has a lot to demonstrate.

    For this particular project, JMS designers includes a front bumper that is both massive and cleaner in design and features three large air vents, a rocker panel set and a rear bumper. This rear bumper doesn’t have any pre-fabricated cutouts for the exhaust pipes and it can be individually adapted for every exhaust system. Additional goodies include a lightweight hood and an eye-catching orange body finish.

    Furthermore, this exclusive upgrade comes with Hella clear glass headlights and lowered body height due to the addition of KW Variant 1 coilover suspension system. Unfortunately, the mounted three-part 8×17-inch Zender rims are no longer unavailable.

    However, as an optional equipment, JMS studio offers sporty exhaust systems and manifolds.

    The high-quality JMS products can be purchased at car dealerships, well-stocked specialist retailers and of course, directly from JMS Fahrzeugteile.

    Piecha Design takes part in the tuning as well

    Cor.Speed is responsible for the overall tuning here, but it actually involves many other good customization specialists. The car under attention is the Mercedes-Benz E-Class W207 Cabriolet, which with it its innate stunning appearance has been further refined. So, basically, the Mercedes on display carries new ARROWS wheels, coilovers and is also fitted with Piecha Design’s aero styling.

    It has been said that Cor.Speed Performance Wheels have always been special. They are distinguished by their unique designs characteristics, mostly because they are far-far away from the “run-of-the-mill” aftermarket alloys.

    So basically, this Mercedes is the finest example of how these more-than-hot wheels transform the looks of a regular car (not that the W207 is such). To go into the details, the Mercedes-Benz E-Class Cabriolet shown here is fitted with the distinctive 20-inch, 10-spoke Cor.Speed ARROWS design in Higloss Black Polished Finish with Inox Lips.

    The offset is attractive and adds to the perception of depth, making the car look wider and more purposeful. This new stance is further bolstered by 10 mm spacers at the rear. The alloys are fitted with low profiles measuring 245/30R20 and 275/25R20.

    Cor.Speed also installed an H&R coilover suspension system that is fully adjustable for ride height as well as damper bounce and rebound values. The suspension kit can lower the car up to 45 mm at the front and 40 mm at the rear.

    This appearance package is rounded out by discreet Piecha Design front spoiler lip. It has been developed with the aim to fit directly and effortlessly to the front valence of the factory AMG body styling kit.

    Well, everything has ended up as a nice ride, hasn’t it?

  • JMS offers distinctive ways for BMW M1 improvement

    JMS BMW 1 Series M Coupe E82 side viewJMS BMW M1 run on brand new alloys and features upgraded suspension

    BMW 1 Series M Coupe is not the typical Bavarian model that the fans would rather go for. In fact, exactly this variant, which was introduced back in 2011, is one of the least seen on the streets. Not only because of the fact that it is 1 Series M, but also because is it the coupe variant. It seems that we are also most likely used to associate the 1 Series with the hatchback variant.

    But all of the aforementioned reasons aren’t good enough to say that the life of the little brother of the M3 is meaningless. Instead, many tuning companies are undertaking the task of making the M1 even better and more capable, thus highlighting its core strength. Such example is the tuning company JMS, which did some chassis upgrades for the E82.

    SEE ALSO: JMS experts make things cool with the BMW X5 Racelook Exclusive Line 

    They haven’t worked alone, but with the help of experts like KW Automotive. The cooperation of both resulted in better suspension, due to the addition of KW Variant 3 ‘Inox-line’ adjustable coilovers. This “little” extra actually gives great results. Precisely – it lowers the ride height by 30 mm at the front, and 20 mm at the rear.

    The lowered ride height requires almost always new alloys. Not because it is a necessity, but just because it highlights the applied change. So, JMS added Barracuda Shoxx alloys in Matte Bronze finish and in 20-inch size. The wheels were complemented by 245/30ZR20 and 295/25ZR20 rubbers. In addition, a set of 15 mm spacers bring these wheels right to the edge of the big wheel arches, and combined with the new front spoiler lip, the whole picture is more purposeful look and improved stability.

    Sometimes small changes account for better taste, don’t they?

  • JMS experts make things cool with the BMW X5 Racelook Exclusive Line

     JMS BMW X5 F15 front viewIt is a well-known fact that the X5 is one of the most desired vehicles nowadays. Because of its huge proportions and wide stance it evokes that feeling of on-road safety, exclusivity and luxury. However, it is somehow missing the racing feeling despite being an inherent BMW. Who could argue with this?

    Well, not for a long time, because the experts at the German studio JMS Fahrzeugteile have created a one-off new sports-inspired look for the machine and the result is breath-taking. The styling kit carries the name Racelook Exclusive Line and it has been specifically created for the X5 F15 of the third generation.

    SEE ALSO: JMS Releases Styling Package for Ford Focus ST

    The visual upgrade has been intended for those who do not own the M version, but still want a racy-look. So here are the details.

    The JMS Racelook Exclusive Line Body Styling Kit

    The pack comprises of a brand new front spoiler and a couple of rear diffusers. There is also a ten-part wide wheel arch extension kit which features air outlets on the trailing edges of the arches, thus making the car looking wider at its sides. Filling out the extra-wide wheel-arches are the 22-inch Cor.Speed Deville alloy wheels that were shod with 295/30R22 tyres.

    The conversion is completed off with a four oval exhaust tailpipe kit. At last, for sportier driving experience the tuners have added a KW Variant 3 coilover suspension, which lowers the ride height by 55 mm and 45 mm, at the front and rear respectively.

  • JMS Releases Styling Package for Ford Focus ST

     JMS Ford Focus ST3 Front and Side ViewJMS is a tuning company which offers wide variety of modification options for almost any model. However, under the attention of the specialists fell the 2016 Ford Focus ST, with its classy styling, small proportions and sports performance character. So if you are looking to boost the qualities (external and in terms of power) of your Focus, maybe JMS is a good option. Let’s see at first what they have done with the Focus ST depicted in the gallery below.

    We should also mention that the brand new JMS body kit for the Ford Focus ST3 was developed in cooperation with Stoffler. There are a lot of elements in the new styling kit, but the most important are these: the new front spoiler and the side skirts for the original ST sills that give the Focus more aggressive appearance; then come the rear apron for Turnier & Hatchback versions, with central exhaust outlets as well as the discreet roof spoiler. The latter also serves in terms of reducing the lift.

    Next, the added Stoffler exhaust system, which features 120 x 80 mm central tailpipes, serves in terms of power enhancement as well as to produce a throaty soundtrack. In order to fill out the wheelarches, JMS has added Barracuda Shoxx Racing alloys, measuring 19-inch and coupled with 235/35R19 tyres.

    At last, to strengthen the aggressive on road and sporty character of the car, the tuners added KW coil-over suspension, which lowers its ride height by 50 mm at the front and 40 mm at the rear. Other cools stuff that were featured in this project, but sadly weren’t detailed are the engine upgrades, high performance exhaust systems, sport suspension, suspension strut braces, wheel spacers, velour floor mats, wind blockers, stainless steel bumper protection bars, and the alarm system.

    What has happened to this Passat 3C B8? As you can see, it has received a brand new wheels (not one but even two types) and suspension set that has lowered it substantially. For a sportier appeal, JMS added front spoiler lip. This lip also serves as a means of lowering, bringing the vehicle with 30 mm closer to the ground.

    Furthermore, the KW Variant 3 coil-over suspension also minimizes the ride height of the VW with 50 mm at the front and 40 mm lower at the rear.

    Wheels & Tires

    Necessary for the perfect look of this Volkswagen is the combination of wheels and tires. The alloys here are the black Barracuda Racing Challenge wheels or the crosspoke wheel Barracuda inferno in racing silver, both coming in the dimensions of 19-inches. They are fitted with appropriate tires.

    Other accessories like the JMS accelerator “Speedpedal”, performance upgrades and the in-house made sport-exhaust systems are also included in the JMS program.

  • Simple but Charming: Meet JMS BMW 5-Series Facelift

    JMS Fahrzeugteile BMW 5-Series Front ViewJMS Fahrzeugteile BMW 5-Series Facelift is an example how sometimes tiny changes can make a “big deal”. Not everybody, including me, like pompous tunings or modifications. In fact, if there are people who think like I do, then they will find that some conversions are even equal to unnecessary spent money. But it depends on the taste and of course, we shouldn’t generalize all tunings out there.

    So, this 5-Series have received new stance just by three simple steps. Here they are:

    STEP 1

    JMS tuning specialists have used the meaning lowering very well. This BMW features Racelook Exclusiv Line front spoiler lip with integrated splitter not only for an addition of sportier touch, but also for 28 mm lowering. The spoiler lip also makes the perfect visual transition to the standard side sills.

    STEP 2

    JMS Fahrzeugteile BMW 5-Series Grille

    Changing the handling and road-holding was achieved with the help of KW Variant 3 coil-over suspension. This has resulted in 55 mm lowering at the front and 45 mm lowering at the rear, contributing to the more purposeful and aggressive stance of this 5-Series.

    STEP 3

    The last step that JMS tuners did is to replace the standard alloys with Oxigin 18 Concave Wheel in 9.0×20 and 10.5×20-inch sizes at the front and rear, shod with 245/35R20 and 275/30R20 tires.

    Accessories such as the JMS Tuning accelerator “Speedpedal”, performance upgrades and sport exhaust systems care also an option here as they come with a special JMS program. What do you think about this project? Does these changes seem enough to you?
