Here we have a BMW M3 MH3 V8R Biturbo that has been completely transformed by Manhart Racing for the 2012 Essen Motor Show. The tuners took a 4.4-liter V8 out of a BMW X6 M and fit it under the hood of this M3. The amazing swap along with some ECU tuning resulted in a power output of 655 horsepower and 719 lb-ft of torque. With the removal of the electronic speed limiter, the sports car can now reach a top speed in excess of 199 mph or 320 km/h.

The tuners at Alpha-N Performance have released some styling and performance upgrades for the BMW M3 E92 models. Under the hood, the V8 powerplant has received a boost of 30 horsepower to bring the total power to 450 HP.

Cam Shaft BMW M3 Coupe Wrapped Up
The German car tuners at Cam Shaft have completed a new project based on the BMW M3 Coupe. Since the company specializes in car wraps, they spread a new matte space-gray metallic foil over the sports car. Pricing for this modification is €1,785 or US$2,230 for the body and an additional €715 or US$890 to wrap other visible sections such as the door and cabin area. However, before the wrapping took place, Cam Shaft hooked up the BMW M3 with several aftermarket parts.
Vorsteiner BMW M3 GTRS5 Tuning Kit
Even though we haven’t seen an official announcement for the retiring of the BMW M3 E92 model, Vorsteiner has released this kit with a hint. They stated that this BMW M3 GTRS5 program will be “commemorating the retiring” of the famous coupe. The car tuning firm plans to continue the GTRS widebody series with the new BMW model, however it’s going to be hard to not like this M3 kit.
G-Power BMW M3
We have a new G-Power tuning kit for all the BMW enthusiasts looking to increase their M3 performance figures. This brand new package from the notorious BMW tuners G-Power, consists of a supercharger to boost the factory 3.2-liter six-cylinder powerplant to 450 PS and 460 Nm of torque.

At the track, the modified BMW M3 can now sprint from 0 to 200 km/h in just 14.7 seconds while reaching a top speed of 300 km/h!
ATT-TEC Tuned BMW M3 With G-Power Parts
This is one of the first projects we’ve covered from the lesser known tuning company ATT-TEC who have done a good job with this BMW M3 convertible. By giving it an increase of power with a G-Power tuning kit, the stock performance numbers have seen a jump from 420 PS to 520 PS or 513 horsepower. This is a significant boost for the price of only €11,430 or US $15,000. Installation from the ATT-TEC tuners will run €1,310 or US $1,720. These prices do not include the new coilovers, wheels or exterior styling parts which we’ll get into next.
Prior Design BMW 3-Series receives M3 Styling
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.
