G3M Bi-Turbo is the BMW M3 Touring but with more power

In 2022, BMW presented the M3 Touring, which attracted a lot of attention from customers, so a year later the Bavarian company had to increase production. This model was the basis for a new project from Bavarian tuner G-Power called the G3M Bi-Turbo.

The G3M Bi-Turbo looks more aggressive than the M3 Touring thanks to a carbon package that includes a new hood with a large central air vent for cooling the engine compartment, a new splitter, side mirror housings, a rear diffuser, and new Hurricane RR wheels with an orange finish, which matches the orange exterior details.

The interior has also been refreshed with new M carbon bucket seats upholstered in bright orange leather that also covers the dashboard and door panels.

Under the bonnet is an upgraded 3.0-litre twin-turbo 6-cylinder engine with 800 hp and 900 Nm of torque, which is a significant increase in power compared to the Competition version with 510 hp and 660 Nm of torque. The increase in power is achieved by installing new turbochargers, an exhaust system with 200-cell high-flow catalytic converters, and remapping the ECU unit. Top speed has also been increased from 280 km/h to 300 km/h.

G-Power did not say how much the upgrade package costs.

2026 BMW M3 CS Touring

A few days ago, BMW introduced its best sports wagon, the M3 CS Touring. The car brings several improvements that promise a new level of performance.

Before working on the engine, BMW reduced the car’s weight by 15 kg thanks to carbon components that include a new hood, front splitter, front air intakes, side mirror housings and rear diffuser. There is also a new front grille, LED daytime running lights, and a new rear lip spoiler.

The M3 CS Touring also received improved electronically controlled shock absorbers, a front crossbar that increases body rigidity, an exhaust system with adaptive valves, a rear silencer made of titanium, more powerful brakes, and buyers can optionally choose carbon-ceramic discs.

When it comes to the powertrain, the M3 CS Touring is powered by a twin-turbo 3.0-L 6-cylinder engine with 550 hp and 650 Nm of torque, which means it is more powerful than the M3 Competition. The engine is mated to an 8-speed automatic transmission that sends power to all four wheels. It reaches 100 km/h in just 3.5 seconds, 200 km/h in 11.7 seconds with a top speed of 300 km/h (186 mph). The car is mounted on a new set of lightweight 19″ and 20″ wheels.

Speaking of the price, the BMW M3 CS Touring in Germany starts at 152,900 euros, which is 50,000 euros more than the M3 Touring.

German tuner Manhart is a magician for BMW cars, and one of their latest projects is the MH3 800 Touring based on the BMW M3 (G81).

The MH3 800 Touring is painted black with the standard gold Manhart decal set, is equipped with an adjustable suspension by H&R, an intercooler by Wagner Tuning, a carbon intake, a stainless steel exhaust system by REMUS with valve control, new kidney grille, a front spoiler, a two-piece apron and engine cover, side moldings on the front wings and sills, as well as side sill attachments and a carbon trunk spoiler. The factory carbon-ceramic brake system still guarantees safe stopping.

Under the hood is a 3.0-L S58 biturbo in-line six-cylinder engine with 855 hp (629 kW) and 804 lb-ft (1,090 Nm) of torque, mated to a retuned 8-speed automatic transmission that can handle 1,300 Nm of torque in Stage 2. The power increase was achieved by upgrading the hardware and remapping the ECU unit.

The car is mounted on a set of light 20 and 21-inch alloy wheels by Raffa wrapped in 285/30 ZR20 front and 305/25 ZR21 rear tires. The car will be premiered on December 8 at the Essen Modified Car Show.
