European Auto Source California-based tuner is returning to our attention with another standout tuning program, carried out on this F80 BM M3, all wrapped in the gorgeous Sakhir Orange.

The program involves the fitting of the Macht Schnell Sport Competition Springs, meant to add the M3 a more aggressive look on the road.

The new lowering kit lowers the car`s ride height, improving its stability and handling, the kit being also compatible with the Standard or the M-Adaptine Suspension system.

The lowering suspension kit involves the Macht Schnell Sport Competition Springs, including the bronze-anodized height spacers, providing the model with a greater stance.

From what we know, things remained unchanged under the hood, this Sakhir Orange F80 BMW M4 retaining the same 3.0-liter TwinPower Turbo inline flat-six engine, developing 431 horsepower and 500 Nm of torque.

Mated with a conventional six-speed manual, the coupe is capable of sprinting from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.3 seconds, but with the M-DCT gearbox, it can run the same distance in 4.1 seconds, at an electronically limited speed of 250 km/h.

Please take a look at the photo gallery released by EAS, which shows the installation process of the Macht Schnell Sport Competition lowering kit.

The BMW M6 Gran Coupe is one mean machine with an aggressive face that can run over a lot of other fast cars whenever engaging in some track drag races. And the latest modified one can be seen on the streets of London, while showing off with the impressive Akrapovic exhaust system.

This BMW M6 Gran Coupe goes even faster than the stock model, thanks to the power kit provided by the aftermarket specialists from the Manhart Performance tuning company.

The tuned up BMW M6 Grab Coupe has now received a remapped ECU, the new Akrapovic exhaust system as well as some other cool Manhart parts that raises the power to an impressive 734 horsepower and 939 Nm of torque, in comparison to the stock 560 horsepower and 677 Nm of torque.

This means that the BMW M6 Gran Coupe is darn pretty fast, managing just 4.3 seconds from 0 to 100 km/h. The full acceleration is also possible thanks to the Launch Control mode.

I would now take this customized BMW M6 Gran Coupe on the track and race it in some drag sessions against other fast cars, and then you can all place your bets on the German car! Meanwhile, don’t forget to watch the video with the one-off model revving its engine on Sloane Street in London!

European Auto Source have recently made wonders with two BMW M3 models, both the F80 and the E92 receiving some minor changes at the body, along with the fitting of a lowering kit, which provides a spectacular look. Surely, that the Black Sapphire exterior finish complements the entire body work.

Concerning the performance under the hood, there have been no mods carried out, as the new generation F80 and E92 BMW M3 are already coming with some increase in throttle and performance. Both BMW M3 models are now fitted with the BMW TwinPower Turbo engine, and the results are visibly as opposed to the previous generation.

Both models are still making use of the 3.0-liter engine, now fitted with BMW TwinPower Turbo configuration, which develops 420 horsepower, thanks to which it now reaches 100 kmph in 4.1 seconds, at a topping of 250 km/h, and that in the F80 BMW M3.

On the other hand, the E92 BMW M3 still uses the naturally aspirated V8 unit, which can accelerate up to 8,300 rpm. This is why the S65 V8 has received the International Engine of the Year 2008-2012 award. And according to some auto publications, this particular model is faster than the F82, records showing 3.9 seconds from 0 to 100 km/h, with the DCT. After the slight modifications, the guys from the EAS tuning division have also made a short photo session with the two BMW M3s.

G-Power tuning division is already famous worldwide for transforming potent stock BMW models into real beasts under the hood, providing them with a unique body styling as well. It is also the case of this BMW M6 Coupe, which has received the “gentle” touch of the aftermarket shop.

The most important upgrades carried out on this BMW M6 Coupe are under the hood, where the sports car has received astonishing power, which would make it compete against top predators from the auto industry. We are talking about an upgraded 5.0-liter V10 engine.

The aftermarket specialist from the G-Power tuner have been able to fit a twin supercharged system, as well as a titanium exhaust system, according to which the sports car now produces an additional 494 horsepower and 380 Nm of torque. And if we are adding up the figures, we are reaching an astonishing 1,001 horsepower and 900 Nm of torque. This is perfect for reaching 100 km/g in just 4.3 seconds, at a topping of 370 km/h.

But the guys from G-Power have not settled with the power alone, the BMW M6 Coupe also receiving other performance upgrades, like the coilover suspension with the Nurburgring setup, ceramic brakes with the 400 mm discs, the 21-inch Hurricane RR forged alloy wheels and more. The cabin also received ultra-light race seats, Alcantara wrapping, new speedometer and a few more. Enjoy the photo gallery with the BMW M6 Coupe by G-Power!

BMW is on a constant move, building, customizing and perfecting its entire model lineup. And this summer, the German based carmaker has also announced some important changes for some of its latest models.

This means some makeovers under the hood, where BMW has perfected the performance art by developing the newly three- or the four-cylinder engines, which promise to deliver increase torque and improved fuel-efficiency.

Starting with July 2015, the carmaker will start offering the new BMW M235i xDrive Convertible model with the four-wheel drive configuration, the model being the first open-top model to fit such a drive configuration.

Moving further, BMW will also set some new standards in terms of technology inside, by providing the latest innovation in the Professional navigation system, while car safety features will also include the Parking Assistant, available on the BMW 3-Series and the BMW 4-Series.

On the other hand, the BMW 2-Series Gran Tourer will tweak the Multi-Collision Braking system as well as the Alertness Assistant, while the BMW 4-Series, BMW M4 Coupe, the M4 Convertible, the BMW 5-Series or the BMW Z4 will come with new exterior colors.

The F10 BMW 5-Series has received a carbon fiber aero kit, the structure being reinforced with the Autoclaved Pre-Preg carbon fiber. Other elements include the fitting of the lip spoiler, rear diffuser, trunk spoiler, all of them from carbon fiber materials, providing this one off 5-Series with a body stiffness and perfect stance on the road.

But the work is still not complete. The aftermarket specialists from the European Auto Source tuning company have also installed what they like to do best: a customized set of V-FF 102 wheels, from the one and only Vorsteiner tuning division. Sized 20×9.5 and 20×10.5 front and rear, the V-FF wheels provide the model with a unique look.

The aftermarket specialists from the famous tuning company Manhart, have put some special features on the already sporty and high-performance BMW M235i.

The tuning company Manhart has upgraded the BMW M235i both at the exterior, as well as under the hood, as the model in question received some upgraded performance. The inside of the M235 is also revised.

Thus, the M235i comes with a special customized yellow paint job, along with the famous 19-inch alloy wheels, carbon fiber at the front and at the rear splitters and the Michelin Pilot tires.

Since the M235i was mainly perfected for the tracks, Manhart has also put on the sportscar an adjustable coilover suspension which keeps the M235i balanced in tight corners.

Inside the sporty M235i, Manhart has reshaped the cabin, putting some sport pedals, Recaro seats, a roll cage and some interesting gauges.

Under the hood of the M235i, Manhart has also upgraded the 3.0liter TwinTurbo unit, which now outputs a total of 430 horsepower and 592 Nm of torque.

All that performance is backed up by some modifications at the engines, meaning an optimized ECU, revised turbo boost and a much larger intercooler.

Ever considered the Paris Motor Show as an occasion for glamorous event, one that you’d love to attend in hoping you’d see some great cars?

That used to be the case but this year it was rather poor. BMW’s presence there didn’t really help the situation, as they don’t seem to have made too big an effort.

The Bavarians turned up with the four wheel drive version of the 1 Series, the FWD version and this, the more enthusiast friendly M Performance toys for the 3 Series.

The F30 BMW 335i showcased at the French motor show gets all the goodies M Performance can throw at you, be them functional or just for looks.

See those 20 inch light alloy wheels? Apart from being stunning, they hide a big brake kit and are connected to an upgraded suspension package.

Redesigned lines, minor decals and improved aerodynamics make themselves felt in the tweaked looks of the F30 and they help out the engine and handling as much as possible.

On a slightly unusual note, it’s the engine that comes a little short here. M Performance showcased the 335i but it’s actually the 2.0 liter diesel 320d that gets the attention.

That powerplant would normally develop 184 horsepower and 280 lb-ft of torque but M Performance takes it up to an even 200 hp and 310 lb-ft.

This change is going to make a difference of nearly one second in acceleration. The same M Performance tweaked 2.0 liter will be available on the 1 and 5 Series models.

Interestingly, the Bavarians promise that this won’t make a difference in terms of fuel economy. The oil burner will be as efficient as ever.

The people from BMW have a good news and a bad news. The good part is that the new BMW Performance seats have finally appeared. The bad part is that they won’t be available in the United States. However, everyone else can enjoy them.

The seats even have airbags. Unfortunately, there are many aspects that need to be solved if the people from BMW want to introduces these models to US buyers. There are still a few tests that need to be made, but some vague signs show us that this is a viable option. Maybe the people from BMW are just waiting to see how the European market will react to the BMW Performance seats and they will take their decision after the results.

The design looks great, it truly makes you feel like you drive a sports car.
