Yes, yes, we’re going to have a look at the F30 version of the BMW M3 pretty soon but before that happens, there’s going to be a new limited edition of the older generation.

As one of the last (hopefully) revivals of the E92 M3, this one is called the Lime rock Park Edition and it will be limited quite drastically.

Our favorite Bavarian brand will only build some 200 units of the E92 BMW M3 which will be painted Fire Orange and comes with a few aero tweaks.

The changes changes that make the Lime Park Edition what it is come fitted on top of BMW’s Competition package for the E92 M3.

They include an inconel-titanium exhaust muffler, carbon fiber front and rear aerodynamic spoilers and an updated rear wing.

Inside the new BMW M3 Lime Rock Park Edition we find a new steering wheel which comes with a racing like flat-bottom and re-trimmed seats.

The novelties are black and anthracite cloth seats are lined with Nappa leather. And then… well, that’s about all that changed.

All of these new updates come thanks to a collaboration between BMW and Skip Barber, owner of the infamous New England circuit.

Even though they’re pretty superficial changes, there are two key aspects of this limited edition worth noting.

Firstly, they’ll all be fitted with a six speed manual gearbox only and secondly, each of the custom units will cost some 70.995 USD.

This includes the fitting of the limited edition plaque and the deliveries should start some time in September.

Not exactly least revealing article title ever but there you have it, if you’ve got an M3 and want to make it more aerodynamic and lighter, BMW Performance have got just what you need.

The component offering is related to a couple of things, both are related to pricing and exclusivity.

With that in mind, if you haven’t managed to get your hands on a BMW Frozen Gray M3 Coupe or perhaps the 2011 BMW M3 Competition Package is a bit rich for your blood, don’t despair as you can now buy a few bits for your M3 that will make it just as cool.

In fact, the best part of it is the price appeal as you don’t have to get it all at once.

The list includes the three new parts, a new rear deck lid spoiler, mirror caps and front splitters. All of the aforementioned are constructed of ultra-rigid carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) composite material. All the parts will also match the standard CFRP roof panel of the M3 Coupe.

Keep in mind that BMW Performance accessories feature a two year and unlimited mileage warranty but if you have them fitted before taking delivery of your new M3, the BMW Performance accessories will share coverage of the 4 year or 50,000-mile New Vehicle Limited Warranty.

While BMW has a proper racing heritage the 6 Series is not one of the models that contributed much to it.

The car we have here may change things a bit as it represents the result of a project destined to prep the car for GT1 racing regulations.

The car starts out as a BMW 6 Series which then goes to specialist tuner Alpina to become the B6. Should that particular car be lucky enough, it might just end up being turned into an Alpina B6 GT3 which will see all of its life as a racer.

That is unless it ends up in the hands of the guys over at Aurora Racing Designs which will turn it into a GT1 spec racing car to comply with the new rules there. “The guys” are former McLaren engineer Nicholas Galbraith and former Alpina racing designer Andreas Puschel.

Going from GT3 to GT1 is a logical step for the car and Aurora Racing have taken over this project in an attempt not to affect Alpina’s customer GT3 racing program. The experience of the people behind Aurora Racing Designs will see the B6 GT1 going through some serious aerodynamic, structural and suspension changes in order to make it competitive.
