When two titans from tuning industry like Hamann and DS Automobile meet to customize the one-off F80 BMW M3, it means that hell gets loose.

And indeed, this gorgeous F80 BMW M3 has received the gentle touch of both tuning companies, which have installed an impressive power kit under the hood.

The stock F80 M3 comes fully packed with a 3.0-liter M TwinTurbo Power inline flat-six engine, with 431 horsepower and 500 Nm of torque. The power is sent to the rear wheels via a six-manual transmission, which makes the M3 sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in just 4.3 seconds.

The F80 BMW M3 can also be fitted with the optional seven-speed dual clutch, meaning that the same sprint is carried out in an astonishing 4.1 seconds, at a topping of an electronically limited 250 km/h.

But imagine what would happen with those performance figures if the M3 received a power boost underneath. And indeed, the sprint to 100 km/h is done just 4.0 seconds, with the model now developing 522 horsepower.

Besides the sheer performance, the F80 BMW M3 has also received some minor changes at the body style, including a front spoiler lip courtesy to Hamann, along with a rear diffuser, lower sports suspension and the 21-inch multi-spoke Anniversary Evo alloys. On the other side, DS Automobile contributed with the exterior white wrapping and other mechanical bits.

The new BMW M3, the F80, has finally hit the streets, and one of the very first owners is an active member of bimmerpost.

Basically, that means that we already have a lot of coverage concerning the M3, plus pictures and videos, courtesy of the user/owner.

First off, we should mention that this particular F80 BMW M3 has everything on it, and I mean all the trims and pieces, as the owner went all out on it. It sports an Alpine White paint job and the interior was done in Sakhir Orange. He did make on sacrifice to get it though.

In order to grab this full spec F80 BMW M3, the owner turned in his F13 BMW M6, but from the looks of it, he does not regret it at all. It drives like a charm, is provides plenty of torque for that adrenaline-infused acceleration, and it offers a smooth rider overall. At least that is the impression it left on him. For us, we have just the photo gallery and videos he provided, so enjoy.
