BMW M3 with 720 HP

The latest generation BMW M3 is one of the most powerful production cars, but G-Power believes that the high-performance sedan deserves and can do more. That’s why they prepared three equipment packages that raise the engine power up to 720 hp.

The car is equipped with a new carbon kit that gives the BMW a more aggressive look. This includes a new front splitter, new side skirts, a Dynamic fixed rear wing, and many other components.

The M3 is powered by a 3.0-liter twin-turbo six-cylinder engine, which in the most powerful G3M ​​Bi-Turbo equipment package has 720 hp (529 kW) and 627 lb-ft (850 Nm) of torque. All this was achieved thanks to new software, a new exhaust system, hardware improvements and an improved ECU unit. It is mounted on a set of 20 and 21 inch (Hurricane RR and Hurricane RS) rims wrapped in 285/30 R20 (front) and 295/25 R21 (rear) tires.

With the other two packages, G-Power offers power increases to 670 hp (493 kW) and 620 hp (456 kW), with the same hardware but a different ECU unit.

The interior of the base BMW M3 has been retained. There are reinforced carbon fiber seats and a 12.3-inch digital touch screen, as well as a steering wheel with buttons that allow the driver to switch to sporty driving mode.

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.

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.

2003 BMW M3 CSL is for sale

In 1999, BMW presented the M3 CSL model, and the first examples left the production line in 2003. The car was produced for only half a year, from June to December, and only 1,383 examples were produced. One of them will be sold this month at the RM Sotheby’s auction.

The BMW M3 CSL is painted in Silver Gray Metallic and is in excellent condition. Although its original destination was supposed to be Japan, the car ended up in Europe. It is equipped with headlamp washers, parking sensors, rain-sensing wipers, and Xenon headlamps. For a long time it was exhibited in the owner’s museum, so the odometer shows only 4,698 km (2,919 miles).

Unlike the standard M3 model, this M3 CSL is equipped with a number of unique components including a redesigned front fascia, rear diffuser, unique rims, an aluminum hood and a carbon roof. The interior is covered with Alcantara.

When it comes to the powertrain, the BMW M3 CSL is powered by a 3.2L S54B32 inline 6 engine with 355 hp (261 kW) and 273 lb-ft (370 Nm) of torque. It reaches 60 mph in 4.9 seconds with a top speed of 165 mph (266 kph). The engine is paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission.

It is offered for sale without registration papers, and the auction will be held on November 26.
