MH3 650 Touring based on the BMW M3 Touring

Four months ago, BMW unveiled the M3 Touring as a response to similar models offered by Audi and Mercedes. A powerful car and a good basis for tuners like Manhart who took the opportunity to show why it is considered one of the best tuners of BMW cars in the world. The result is the MH3 650 Touring.

MH3 650 Touring wears Manhart black body design with a golden decal set on both sides of the car as well as the entire length of the body. It is equipped with a carbon kit that includes a front splitter, carbon side skirts, carbon aero flicks, a rear spoiler, a new diffuser, a new exhaust system with valve control, an optional sports downpipe with or without a catalyst and an OPF filter.

Under the hood is a turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six engine with 641 hp (471 kW) and 590 lb-ft (800 Nm) of torque. That’s a significant increase in power compared to the standard M3 Touring with 510 hp (375 kW) and 479 lb-ft (650 Nm) of torque. Power is transmitted to both axles via an 8-speed automatic transmission. It’s mounted on a set of 21-inch Manhart Concave One rims in matte black, but other colors are also available.

The price of the modification can be obtained on request.

BMW E30 M3 with V10 engine

There are many BMW models that are considered legendary, especially those from the M3 Series such as the E30. One of them was equipped by the Renner company with a V10 engine.

Renner modified the suspension and strengthened the chassis. New shock absorbers, coilovers and stabilizer were installed, safety and handling were increased, and the tuner promised that every car will have power steering, air conditioning and much more. The car is painted in Blue Silver Metallic, and in order to keep it as original as possible, Renner did not even add the recognizable front splitter. There’s also a set of 18-inch oversize wheels wrapped in Yokohama tires.

The original exterior was retained, but there were changes to the interior such as a new cluster and sound system, without too much modern technology. The seats are upholstered in black leather that covers the steering wheel, as well as most of the interior.

The BMW E30 M3 is powered by an improved 5.0-liter naturally aspirated S85 V10 engine from the 2008 BMW M5 model that now delivers 625 hp (460 kW), which is almost four times more power than the original M3. The engine has a carbon fiber cover.

Watch the video:

The car was exhibited at the SEMA Show and attracted the attention of many, including potential buyers. When asked how much the car costs, Renner representative Ronald Norat said they would sell it for $350,000.

Rolls-Royce Dawn upgraded by Mansory

We can say that the owners of Rolls-Royce cars have good and refined taste, but there are also those who want to stand out. For them, Mansory prepared the modified Rolls-Royce Dawn as a perfect solution.

The car looks slightly more aggressive, at least if we look at the front, and if Rolls-Royce ever decides to produce a high-performance convertible version, it should look similar. The redesigned bumper, splitter, air intakes and carbon components attract the most attention at first glance. The side of the car has been modified, which includes extended sills and new carbon details. At the rear, there is a small lip spoiler on the trunk lid, a redesigned diffuser and a new bumper.

Inside, the interior is upholstered in orange leather with orange seat belts, as well as Mansory badges and black accents.

When it comes to the powertrain, Mansory has not announced any changes. Rolls-Royce Dawn is powered by a twin-turbocharged 6.6-liter V-12 with 563 hp (414 kW) and 575 lb-ft (1,026 Nm) of torque. Power is transmitted to the rear wheels via an eight-speed automatic transmission. It reaches 60 mph in 4.3 seconds with a top speed of 155 mph (250 kph).

Mansory has not announced the price of the upgrade, but it is known that the base price of the car starts at $360,000.
