Here we have a classic on our hands, a 1999–2003 BMW Z8 roadster fixed up by the guys at Senner Tuning. The German based aftermarket company decided to give a small performance package to increase the numbers even further. Stock, the BMW Z8 holds the E39 M5 5.0-liter V8 engine that produces 400 horsepower and 500 Nm of torque. With the Senner Tuning additions of a new air filter, custom exhaust, and ECU tune to bring it all together, new figures show 450 HP and 535 Nm of torque. While these modifications weren’t really necessary, the small sports car can now hit a top speed in excess of 300 km/h or 186 mph.

While Vorsteiner released a new kit for the Bentley Continental GT last week, we now receive news of their custom alloy wheels for the Ferrari 458 Italia and BMW 5-Series. Both of the sets measure up to be 21-inches in diameter and come with a five-spoke design that looks great. For the Ferrari 458, Vorsteiner finished the rims in black, and the BMW 5-Series has a gunmetal finish.

A new package for the BMW X6 xDrive40d has been released by the German shop Senner Tuning. The sporty crossover received the works with new performance upgrades along with styling to boot. Starting at the engine bay, the straight six turbocharged diesel found in the BMW X6 received a new air filter and ECU remapping to increase the numbers. After the ECU tune, output jumped from 306 HP and 600 Nm to 336 horsepower and 665 Nm of torque.

Check out the BMW i8 concept at the 2011 LA Auto Show. In person, the car is stunning and you can see the video after the jump. This full-hybrid concept was called the Vision EfficientDynamics hybrid concept car when first announced, but now carries a much simpler BMW i8 title. This comes from the new BMW i “Born Electric” line of cars which will also include the BMW i3. We are sure that these will see the production line in a few years, and hopefully more BMW i models will be announced before this occurs.

Prior Design has been a busy tuning company recently, releasing several new packages for the BMW 3-Series cars. When compared to the performance of the BMW M3, the 3-Series models can definitely use some help. That’s when Prior Design comes to play with their new aerodynamic wide body kit designed to add some features of the M3 to the simple 3-Series. Why owners wouldn’t trade in their BMW 3-Series and spend a little extra on a real M3 beats me.
