Here we have another German tuning project, this time from the company Hartge on the BMW 6-Series convertible sports car. There are many tuning companies out there that like to modify the BMW platform. The largest include names such as Hamann, AC Schnitzer, and Prior Design. But Hartge has put out some nice kits for the BMW line of cars, this time for the F12 6-Series convertible. Now this tuning package may be light, but is still aesthetically pleasing. The exterior received new emblems, dual tail pipes, and new alloys rims measuring 19-20 inches. These come wrapped in high performance tires that fit perfectly in the wheel wells, and then the tuners moved to the interior of the BMW 6-Series convertible.

The German tuning firm Lumma Design has turned to the BMW 6-Series Cabriolet for modifications. The specialists at Lumma are known for unique designs and typical German styling, like seen here with the black rear wing on this 6-Series. Included in the new kit is a front bumper, rear bumper, grill inserts, rear wing, and a new exhaust system to improve the sound. It wouldn’t be a BMW tuning project without a new set of wheels, so Lumma Design added their own rims measuring 21×9.5 up front, 21×10.5 at the rear, and come wrapped in high performance tires sized 255/30R21, and 295/25R21 respectively.
