What Happens When You Change BMW M3’s V8 with M5’s V10? Here’s the Answer!

Alpha-N Performance BMW M3 BT92 V10 Side View Alpha-N Performance has delivered the second tuning we are showing you today. This time under the spotlight is the adorable and favorited BMW M3. The tuners engaged in the development of carbon-fibre styling package and performance upgrade here, thus making the car with better visual characteristics and more motorsport oriented.

The BT92 Aero Kit and More

Starting with the carbon-fiber aero pack, it contributes for M3’s new and more muscular forms. To go into details, the BT92 aerodynamic kit comprises of a new front bumper, rear bumper with integrated diffuser, new front wings, and new rear quarter panels with integrated side skirts.

If you look closely you will also see that the bulges of the new bonnet speak of something very powerful below it. The new boot lid has upswept integrated spoiler lip, while wheel arch liners are bespoke carbon-fibre components. The Veritas RS-Silver paint finish complements the high-tech appearance of the most powerful BT92 of the lot.

This M3 runs on 19-inch alloys shod with 265/35R19 and 305/35R19 Dunlop Sport Maxx GT tires. There is also a fully adjustable coil-over suspension set-up, which allows for adjustable ride height.

The Engine Change

Alpha-N Performance BMW M3 BT92 V10 Front View

Originally, the M3 Coupe comes from the factory equipped with the 4.0-liter V8 unit. However, the Alpha-N Performance tuners decided to give it more sporting spirit, thus substituting the original engine with a V10 unit from the big brother M5. But the changes do not end here. The 5.0 liters engine has been boosted and optimized via ECU mapping, allowing the big V10 to produce 640hp (471 kW).

In order to be in concert with the enhanced power, Brembo brakes were a must. They feautres 6-piston callipers on 380mm vented discs clamped by six-pot callipers at the front, and 355mm vented discs with four-pot callipers at the rear.

The Interior

Alpha-N Performance BMW M3 BT92 V10 Interior

We rarely see that much effort put on a project, but this BMW M3 also has its interior enhanced. The cabin was covered in the finest leather, features Recaro sports seats, BMW Performance steering wheel, dashboard, centre console, door panels and headlining, including pillar trim pieces.

Now that’s a nice way to start the day-off, isn’t it? Looks like Alpha-N Performance will catch today’s Oscar for best and most thorough custom BMW…

P.S. Look out for AC Schnitzer’s BMW that comes up next.

B&B Automobiltechnik Shows How to Boost Performance of BMW M4/M3

B&B Automobiltechnik BMW M4 F82 Front View B&B Automobiltechnik has created a special comprehensive performance package not for one but two models of the BMW M family. We are talking about the M3 (F80) and M4 (F82), and the particular illustrated example is BMW M4 Convertible. The pack is broad and features a lot of tweaks for the engine and the handing. The main goal is to boost as much as possible the performance and driving capabilities of the car.

How to Boost Performance?

If you have ever wondered about the ways to boost the performance of your car, here are some ideas that might be useful to you. In terms of software, B&B is offering a three-staged program, which uplifst dramatically the power and torque of the BMW TwinPower Turbo straight-six engine. As a standard the unit produces 431 hp (317 kW) and 550 Nm (406 lb-ft) of torque.

The intermediate Stages 1 and 2 uprate these numbers to 490 hp (360 kW) and 540 hp (397 kW), respectively, while the highest one uplifts the horses to 580 hp (426 kW) and the torque to 750 Nm (555 lb-ft). All three stages feature software adaptation for the seven-speed dual-clutch transmission and removal of the top speed limiter.

B&B Automobiltechnik BMW M4 F82 Engine

Next, additional performance boosts were achieved with modified turbochargers, higher-flow intake tract, larger exhaust downpipes, more efficient charge air cooler, and an ECU remap with revised fuel, spark and boost parameters.

But let me impress you with more details. In Stage 3, the M3 and M4 can go from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.5 seconds, in comparison to the standard 4.6 seconds. The 0-200-km/h time is reduced from 13.4 to 11.2 seconds, while the Vmax goes over 330 km/h.

Something you need if you add all of this inside your M4 is B&B’s thermostatically-controlled supplementary oil cooler system. It is recommended for all three engine upgrade stages, because it lowers thermal stress on the motor by reducing oil temperatures by up to 25°C.

Handling And More…

B&B Automobiltechnik BMW M4 F82 Front End

Boosts in performance require optimized handling. B&B offers various ways of doing it: a threaded height adjustable sport suspension kit (lowering up to 25 mm), set of sport springs (lowering up to 30 mm) and the super cool KW coil-over suspension. The latter offers ride height and damper bounce, thus substantially enhances chassis performance.

High performance brake system was added and it comprises of 396 mm and 380 mm vented discs. At last, rounding out this tuning are the B&B 9.0 and 11.0×20-inch alloy wheels shod with 255/30R20 and 305/25R20 tires.

G-Power Says Goodbye to 2015 with Special BMW M3 RS E9X

2015 G-Power BMW M3 RS E9X Front View G-Power has released its last project for 2015. As the year went by we witnessed some great tunings and this one here is another example of the exquisite work of the specialists. Under the attention of the masters is the BMW M3 E9X considered as the perfect base for a track day car. In combination with their SK III supercharger and the carbon-fibre aerodynamic parts, the M3 easily becomes M3 RS – a “serious player in the supercar league”.

Faster & Faster

There are two ways to make a car faster. The first one is to add power to its engine. The second: to reduce its weight by replacing some of the components with lightweight ones. But if you want to make an already faster car even faster, then you should first add the extra power and then use some carbon-fiber… or the other way around. This was basically the idea under the work of the experts at G-Power.

Carbon Manifesto

2015 G-Power BMW M3 RS E9X Rear View

Te tuning company undertook an in-house CAD development program to manifest one-off carbon-fibre aerodynamic components for the BMW M3 E9X. As you can clearly see, the largest carbon-fibre component on the car is the vented Carbon Venturi bonnet ‘RR’. It is not only the largest but also the lightest you will find on the market with weight of just 8.4 kg. This is a saving of 2.6 kg. In addition, this component was designed to dissipate the extra heat produced by the uprated engine.

G-Power ‘RS’ carbon-fibre front spoiler is available with or without air intakes and it reduces the lift over the front axle. At the rear, the ‘RS’ carbon-fibre boot lid in GTS style saves almost 5.0 kg… and due to CNC-machined aluminium struts it weighs just 1.2 kg.

Supercharged Power

2015 G-Power BMW M3 RS E9X Engine

G-Power SK III supercharger system is increasing the power output of this BMW so dramatically that it can be mistaken with some sort of rally car. Basically the horses were pumped up to 740 hp (544 kW), while the torque – to 700 Nm (517 lb-ft).

If you are familiar with the capabilities of the M3, then you have already grasped how huge the power increase is. There are 320 hp and 300 Nm in addition. The huge extra power is achieved through a displacement increase from 4.0 to 4.6-litres, followed by the installation of an ASA T1-724 supercharger with a high efficiency charge-air intercooler.

The powerplant is complemented with in-house crafted titanium exhaust, which incorporates a pair of 100-cell metal sport catalysts. The weight saving is 26 kg over the original steel system.

At last, we should mention that the M3 RS E9X runs on HURRICANE RR forged alloy wheels, sized 9.0 and 10.5×20-inches at the front and rear respectively, and coupled with 245/30ZR20 and 295/25ZR20 Michelin tires.

G-POWER M3 RS E9X Fast Facts:

740 hp / 544 kW at 8100rpm. (+ 320 hp / 235 kW)
700 Nm at 5,900 rpm. (+ 300 Nm)
Displacement increase: 4.0L to 4.6L
V-max: over 340 km/h

PP Exclusive and Liberty Walk Unite for Monstrous BMW M3-Based Tuning

PP Exclusive BMW M3 E92 Liberty Walk Front View Last time we have heard about a project by PP Exclusive was nearly 3 years ago. Now I am very glad to introduce you to their latest tuning, which is based on the BMW M3 E92 model and on top of that features Liberty Walk widebody kit. Take a look at the pictures an you’ll see how menacing this beast-like machine looks. Right? The details here aren’t many but they are definitely worthy of telling.

So how were those two tuning worlds involved in the same project? Basically, PP Excluive decided to give the car more masculine and aggressive appearance and needed the help of the experts from Japan. So they made sure to receive the widebody kit by LB Performance. The so called Liberty Walk pack features visibly bolted wings, besides the broadened appeal.

PP Exclusive BMW M3 E92 Liberty Walk Side View

In addition, the perfect appearance of the car was further accomplished via the KW Clubsport coilovers that are so cool that they can be adjusted multiple times. Next, the four tailpipes of the Akrapovič exhaust system with X-Pipe and black anodized tailpipes were added into the beamy rear diffuser.

PP Exclusive then stepped in and added their pimp-styled “Deep Concave”. The three-piece forged wheels have an anodized aluminum outer rim and five wide spokes… and are gold-plated. By the way, the rims are exclusively finished with special carbon inlays.

Regarding the size of the alloys, the front received 11×20 inches, which are rotating with tires sized 285. The rear got slightly bigger ones: 13×20 inches and run with tires sized 325. Tell us what you think!

Contrast is Everywhere. Including Vorsteiner BMW M3 E92

Vorsteiner BMW M3 E92 Front View Vorsteiner decided to make some magic to the BMW M3 E92 model. The particular car they have worked with comes in the classic Alpine White exterior color, so they had the opportunity to create a stunning contrast with a few additional details and parts. And it seems that although each of these elements individually stands out, when brought together they create a result that is just right as if it was always meant to be.

Vorsteiner Body Kit

‘Contrast’ could be a synonym to Vorsteiner’s body kit for the white M3. The opposite colors contribute for even more aggressive look of the vehicle. Precisely, it comprises of an in-house made boot lid as well as GTS7 front bumper and GTS-V rear diffuser. In this way, the sporty appearance is ensured as is the better aerodynamics.

Vorsteiner BMW M3 E92 Front and Side View

Vorsteiner is also famous for its one-off design for the wheels it produces. Of course, they also come in black (Mystic Black to be more precise) and measure 19×9.5 and 19×10.5 inches. Under the name VFF-103, they play their role wrapped in 275/30/19 and 295/30/19 tires. It seems that opposites really do attract.

Power and Torque

Unfortunately, as much as we like this E92, Vorsteiner did not enhance the power of the mighty V8 under its hood. But if you take a deep thought then you would definitely wonder why is the uprating necessary? It isn’t of course, because the high-revving 4.0 litre V8 engine produces 420 hp (309 kW) at 8300 rpm and 400 Nm (295 lb-ft) at 3900 rpm! This helps the car accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.8 seconds on its way to a top speed of 250 km/h (155 mph). Without the limiter, E92 M3 can easily go beyond the 300 km/h (186 mph).

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

RevoZport BMW M4 BMW 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.

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.

G-POWER BMW M3 Comes with Tremendous Torque Results!

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.

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

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.

G-POWER BMW M3 Performance Figures

The output of this car is now 560 hp (412 Nm) strong at 6,500 rpm and can generate 720 Nm (531 lb-ft) of optimum torque at 4,500 rpm. This means additional 129 hp (95 kW) and 170 Nm (125 lb-ft).

This enhancement catapults the Bavarian super car to 100km/h from a standing start in just 3.8 seconds. The Vmax have been released from its factory limitation and now reaches 310km/h.

BMW 3 Series Family Gets Minor Updates for 2016 Model Year

The updated BMW 3 Series cars are here. There are minor updates throughout the range, but still the emblematic car family look stunning. The 3 Series has been an icon for over 40 year and in its sixth generation it continues to set standards for design, dynamic excellence and efficiency. New for the 2016 model year are some changes in the design, the advanced technologies featured and some engine range. Available in sedan and touring forms, I must admit that the 3 Series are more attractive than ever before.

Exterior

In terms of exterior changes, the updated model range receives various improvements. At the front, we see new aprons with redesigned air intakes. As an option, the car gets the Active Cruise Control (ACC), which has sensors integrated into the central air intake. The most prominent features here are the refreshed headlights and the LED daytime driving lights, while the full-LED headlights come as an option.

At the back, the new thing is the design of the rear apron, which features Line-specific trim element. Just like at the front, the car gets standard LED rear lights, further highlighting the sporting nature of the 3 Series.

Interior

The interior is updated via chrome highlights for the controls, air vents and central control panel. In fact, the centre console is entirely new and features sliding cover for the cupholders. Of course, BMW is offering a wide range of options, which can make the car as individual as one wishes.

Engine Range

There are exactly four petrol and seven diesel units available. They develop range from 116 hp (85 kW) to 326 hp (240 kW) and can be coupled with a six-speed manual gearbox and an eight-speed Steptronic transmission. The latter comes as a standard on the BMW 330d, BMW 335d and BMW 340i Touring. In addition, the customer can choose whether to drive a rear-wheel drive or xDrive intelligent all-wheel drive BMW.

Precisely, the three-, four- and six-cylinder petrol engines are now sourced from the BMW EfficientDynamics engine family. The four-cylinder diesel engines include revised turbochargers, while the three-cylinder petrol engine is an entirely new option for the 3 Series.

The four-cylinder petrol engine makes a debut in the BMW 320i Sedan and 320i Touring, offering a combined fuel consumption starting at 5.3 liters per 100 km and emitting CO2 as little as 124 g/kg.

Another premiere is making the four-cylinder unit in the BMW 330i Sedan and 330i Touring with a fuel consumption of 5.5 l/100 km and CO2 emissions of 129 g/km, as well as the six-cylinder petrol unit in the BMW 340i Sedan and 340i Touring. The latter has a combined fuel consumption rating, starting at 6.5 l/100 km and CO2 emissions beginning at 152 g/km.

Impressive are the figures of the 320d EfficientDynamics Edition Sedan, which has a fuel consumption of 3.8 l/100 km and CO2 emissions of 99 g/km, and which develops 163 hp (120 kW).

Technology

Navigation system Professional and LTE mobile technology are the features that are entirely new for the 3 Series. The full-color BMW Head-Up Display shows all information in the driver’s field of vision. In addition, the new BMW 3 Series is the first model to support the fastest current mobile technology standard (LTE). What is more, Parking Assistant feature will help drivers to make automatic parallel parking.

BMW 3 Series family includes the Sedan, M Sport Sedan, M3, 320d Touring and its EfficientDynamics Edition. The models will go on sale in July, while pricing will be announced at a later date.

G-Power BMW M3 Gains More Horses

G-Power specialists are mostly known for their exceptional BMW tunings and it is not a secret that they prefer to work on the M series. But who wouldn’t? The buzz around them is that they have revised their supercharger program for the V8-powered M3 model, thus making it gain 20 horses. But there is more to that. This new program also counts those who have already added a supercharger system. The benefits for them are the biggest, since they can enhance the power output of their BMW to 630 hp.

The additional power is delivered via new software for the electronic engine control. As a matter of fact, the tuners developed it from the beginning and created an entirely new set of maps for the fuelling, ignition, variable-valve-timing and boost control. Due to the new configurations they also had to mind the fuel efficiency and emissions.

The complete development process for the software took about one year to be completed. But this did not include only in-house testing, but also many kilometers on the racetrack in real driving.

The result is a powerful and dynamic engine, which puts emphasis on supreme performance. Precisely, we must take into account that the standard M3 produces only 420 horsepower (309 kW) and 400 Nm of torque. The G-Power conversion system makes the 630 horses (463 kW) and the 590 Nm of torque a reality, as well as the spectacular 4.0 seconds 0-100 km/h sprint. The top speed is up to 330 km/h.

The new 20 hp can not go without new alloys. More power just needs new wheels to run on. In this case, the BMW is fitted with Diamond-Cut double spoke Hurricane RR forged alloys that are 20 inches of size. They are shod with 245/30ZR20 and 295/25ZR20 Michelins at the front and rear, respectively.

Every BMW fan would agree that if there is so much horsepower, there should be appropriate ride height modifications. The case here is no different and we have received an M3 which is 30 mm lower to the ground. The ceramic brake system is responsible for the stopping power of the car. It has 396 mm vented discs with six-pot calipers on the front axle, and 380 mm vented discs with four-pot calipers brake at the rear. Good job guys!
