A new tuning kit for the BMW 1-Series M has been released by the guys at RevoZport called the 1M Raze. The main focus was creating a super lightweight carbon fiber body kit that was also designed to be as aerodynamic as possible. It consists of a new front bumper, front splitter, splitter brake duct kit, side skirts, new trunk, trunk lip spoiler, roof spoiler, rear diffuser, and mirrors covers to round it out. A total reduction of 60 kilograms was achieved with the installation of this body kit. It is now stronger because of all the carbon fiber, and RevoZport moved inside the BMW 1-Series M to give it some performance tuning.

German car tuning company Edo Competition is well known for exotic car projects, however this time they stuck with a more practical budget customizing the BMW M5 Touring model. Calling it the BMW M5 Dark Edition, performance tuning for the 5.0-liter V10 engine consists of a reprogrammed ECU, new air filters, catalytic converters, and a high performance sport exhaust system. This results in a power increase from the factory 500 HP and 521 Nm of torque to 555 horsepower and 560 Nm of torque. On the race track it is capable of a 0 to 100 km/h acceleration in just 4.2 seconds while reaching a top speed of 305 km/h.

The German tuning firm TechTec has released several upgrades for the BMW 1-Series M coupe. At the highest stage, the car can produce up to 450 PS, however the tuners started off with the intial package boosting it 40 horsepower for €1,500. This results in 380 PS and 580 Nm of torque. If you want to hand over some more money, then for €2,500 the BMW 1-Series will produce 400 PS, but if your going that far you should just have the car maxed out. With an additional €800, TechTec adds a new air cooler and fine tunes the ECU to produce 450 PS and 630 Nm of torque.

The tuning company from Latvia called Vipon has wrapped the BMW 318i in crocodile leather and offers this wrap for all cars. About a year ago we saw the snake skin wrapped Bentley Continental GT and the real whale penis leather Prombron from the Dartz tuners. The guys from Vipon did not say if this crocodile leather is real or not, but it is definitely a unique look for the BMW 3-series sedan. If you can’t tell already, the car received a facelift with a new body kit consisting of a front lip spoiler, side skirts, and rear apron. Rounding out the BMW kit is what appear to be AC Schnitzer rims on all fours, and final touches include the LED lights placed in the grille and underneath the front bumper of the car.
