The famous Vorsteiner tuning company has recently refreshed the BMW M4 Coupe, the sports car receiving a body-styling kit as well as some rumored upgrades under the hood.

If you own the new BMW M4 Coupe and want some styling touches and some upgrades under the hood, then you should head to the aftermarket specialists from the Vorsteiner tuning and let them do the job on your M Coupe model.

Your BMW M4 Coupe will be thus receiving a revised front splitter, side skirts, a fresh rear diffuser, a more prominent boot lid lip spoiler and much more.

As far as the upgrades go, concerning the unit under the hood, the Vorsteiner hasn’t announced any details yet, but we should expect some fresh output on the same 3.0-liter Twin Power Turbo inline six-cylinder.

The BMW M4 Coupe`s engine is presently juicing out 431 horsepower and 550 Nm of torque, which makes the coupe accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just 4.1 seconds, at a top electronically limited speed of 250 km/h.

BMW is caught again in the act with some leaked photos concerning the appearance of the upcoming 7-Series, using a cutting-edge technology concerning the usage of yet again carbon fiber reinforced plastic.

The next generation of the 7-Series will fall under the protective wings of the G11 chassis and will make its way into the market, somewhere in 2015.

Of course that the spied shots reveal the forthcoming 7-Series in camouflage; interestingly, the car now reveals all the production reading parts underneath. Now, the car is equipped with parts previously missing, like a production quality polished and stylized dual oval exhaust transformed into a cut clear bumper.

The G11 also features side skirts, front bumper and large kidney grills, nicely running with the hood cut line and the headlights.

The next 7-Series G1 is supposed to bear the performance of the M symbol. The engine is also said to bear the marks worthy of some M Performance and treatment. As soon as we find out more about the rumored car, we will let you know.

Feel free to express your choice, opinion or whatever remark you may find useful.

It would seem that BMW’s win at the 24 Hours of Nurburgring and their rejoining to the Le Mans calendar is bringing along quite a few business opportunities for tuner companies.

First there was G-Power and now we have the turn of the Illinois-based tuning house, GTHaus to have a go at giving your BMW M3 a GT2 racer look.

Since it is GT2 inspired you’ll find a pretty similar livery to what the Bavarians ran at Nurburgring, since they couldn’t have done Jeff Koon’s BMW Art Car livery which will be running at Le Mans.

Since the livery is nice in pleasant I’ll leave it at that, GTHaus is also offering the Aero bits gathered together to form a wide body kit for the car. The kit includes massively wide rear fenders, a unique front bumper with splitters, chunky side skirts, new rear bumper with air vents, vented hood and a rear wing the size of an aircraft carrier deck. Well, not exactly but it’s still pretty big. There’s also a very impressive looking set of wheels to match involved.

Looks fine but you’ll be thinking about what’s under the bonnet. Well, disappointingly theres nothing other than the standard BMW M3 engine and all the bits that go with it. Now I’m not going to be an idiot and say that’s not good enough but somehow I was expecting more.

That “more” may come at a later time in the form of a supercharger kit but until then you can get this kit and make your M3 look like you’re driving home from a hard day’s work at… Sebring for just $12,500.

Hamann Motorsports is a German tuning company that specializes in BMW, Land Rover and Ferrari. That first one is the one we’re interested in, obviously.

What Hamann have been involved into recently is the improvement of the GT variant of the BMW 5 Series.

In particular they’ve focused on one version that is most likely to sell due to it’s engine, the 530d and what they’ve come up with something quite un-Hamann-ish as the car is better but surprisingly discrete.

Hamann’s 5 series GT gets the following modifications: a new suspension setup across the range, functional front and rear spoilers, side skirts and then there’s a special rear apron destined to house Hamann’s new mufflers. The 530d version of Hamann’s BMW GT is also getting some reprogramming for its Motronic system in order to obtain an extra 30 horsepower and you know get 275 horsepower and an alarmingly large amount of torque numbered in at 457 lb-ft.

The discrete looks don’t really fit with the wheels as they seem to be a bit of a show off fest. It’s still a Hamann after all and there is no problem with getting something like a 550i GT.

Another interestingly discrete thing about the 5 series GT from Hamann is the press release as the German tuning company clearly states that what you get with your 5 series GT exactly what you would get with your BMW 5 series GT just that it’s a bit tuned up.

Hamann has always been a tuning company that took lary versions of BMW cars, particularly M division and gave them more.  Of everything.

Well, they’ve recently announced that their next target is the Z4M (E89) and what they have in stock for this car is nothing short of spectacular.

First things first, no tuning job is ever really there until there’s a new set that consists of a front bumper (in this here beast it features integrated LEDs), side skirts, a spoiler, and rear apron. Boring right? Well, not really, it makes the handsome Z4M look like it’s no longer sporty, more like menacing.

If however you find this is not enough, how about a very special set of wheels, 20-inch forged Edition Race Matte Black. Now you’re talking, you’re E89 Z4 is unlike any other at the lights.

However, there’s also a bit of go to match the show, Hamann have fitted a new exhaust system and did some electronic fettling with the ECU. The end result is that the engine now produces 360 horsepower, it has a peak torque of 398 lb/ft and with this sort of power needs to be shown off. So no restrictor it is, the car now has a top speed of 177 mph.

There’s a bit of retouching done to the interior, but do you really care?

Just reading a name such as Vorsteiner GTRS3 makes you feel like some sort of deadly military machine is on you tail.

In reality, this name is synonymous with a very… “evil” looking wide body kit for the BMW M3 Coupe.

Vorsteiner isn’t a tuning company that specializes in any sort of product as it’s offering mods for Porsche, Mercedes, Bentley and BMW alike. This kit particular kit that has been setup for the M3 is quite a special one, I might even dare say it’s one of the best looking the most renown small sports saloon has ever come to “wear”.

What Vorsteiner do to create the GTRS3 is take an ordinary M3 coupe body and strip it down till just the doors and roof are still in place. Then they create all the parts (front fenders, skirts, rear fenders, extensions for them, so on and so forth) from scratch and use carbon fiber while at it.

Since adding a body kit that looks this good isn’t enough, there’s also a few options, a new hood, a carbon fiber boot lid, a stainless steel exhaust and a set of very special wheels: forged V-308 Vorsteiner.

In case this sounds like an offer you’re interested in, you may want to make up your mind quickly as only 100 kits such as these will be sold world wide.
