Germany’s Tuningswerk goes to town on the 1M

Tuesday, 04. 17. 2012  –  Category: Aftermarket News, Main

Ok, ok… it’s been a while since there’s been an update here. What can I say, I’ve been busy – moved from California to Europe, started a new job, life happened, etc. But… BUT – here’s a car that looks so perfectly beastly that I couldn’t refrain from a quick post to share. Rather than [...]

Ac Schnitzer, the Aachen based BMW tuner, announced some updates today on two of the cars they’re bringing to the Geneva Auto Salon: their ACS5, and the ACS 99D. Based on the 5 series Saloon launching at the same event, the ACS5 concept vehicle delivers a blistering 540HP, up from the stock 407 horses. Torque [...]

Hamann dresses up the 5-Series GT

Monday, 05. 17. 2010  –  Category: Aftermarket News, Main

I’m still on the fence about these crossover vehicles – I’ve now seen several of the new Honda Accord Crosstours on the road, and have had a distinct feeling of malaise every time. Obviously it’s not fair to have those experiences taint my impressions of BMW’s first foray into the realm of the Vandan (hey, [...]

BMW announces some awesome vintage support!

Thursday, 04. 8. 2010  –  Category: BMW News, Main

Not one, but two press releases from BMW Group today confirm the company’s commitment to its heritage. Many fans are familiar with BMW’s Mobile Tradition efforts, targeted at owners of classic Bavarian cars. The relatively recent, very public restoration of an Inka BMW 2002tii comes to mind, for example. Reading through today’s announcements these same [...]

Sweet new video: Dinan’s BMW M3 S3-R

US BMW tuning legendDinan recently uploaded a vid of their main man Steve Dinan doing a walk-around for their new S3-R. What a sweet ride, and with 200mph on tap from the 4.6L stroker V8, what a fantastic way to know what it feels like to have your organs slam into the back of your [...]

Vorsteiner double whammy – new BMW X6M body kit

Wednesday, 03. 17. 2010  –  Category: Aftermarket News, Main

Vorsteiner seems to be on a carbon fiber fueled hot streak lately! Only last week they announced a full range of body pieces for BMW’s flagship, the 7 Series. Today’s release of the first pics of their kit for BMW’s new SUHR (my new acronym for Sport Utility Hot Rod ), the X6M, clearly shows [...]

Vorsteiner makes your new 7-Series look killer!

Wednesday, 03. 10. 2010  –  Category: Aftermarket News, Main

The guys at Vorsteiner have a solid reputation for elegance and sophistication, coupled with a hefty dose of brawn.  With their newly announced VR-7 Sportiv Aero Package for the BMW F01 & F02 7 Series they focus their gaze on BMW’s current flagship model. I have to admit that, while I’m usually not a massive [...]

Absolutely rad new Z4 racer!

Monday, 03. 1. 2010  –  Category: BMW News, Main

I’ve always been a big fan of DTM and GT racing, so seeing this puppy come to life is exciting!  Daaaaaa-yum!! I’m hoping we’ll have a chance to catch this car in a racing series here on the North American continent. Doesn’t the ALMS now offer a GT3 class? It would be great to see [...]

Saturday, 01. 9. 2010  –  Category: Aftermarket News, Main

With a rep for seriously sophisticated aero parts, Vorsteiner has pulled the wraps off of their new package for the BMW E92. As always, I dig the look of these pieces.Full details available at Vorsteiner’s site, and I’m sure your friendly local tuning shop would not mind an order or two now that that dismal [...]

ATT Autotechnik announces their twin-turbo cabrio

Friday, 11. 13. 2009  –  Category: Aftermarket News, Main

There’s some interesting stuff coming out of Germany the last few days. This drop-top really gets me going because it retains a sense of modesty. Physically this ride avoids the excesses certain German tuners are known for, but under the hood they definitely pump out the ponies (up to 362HP). ATT Press Release: Let’s face [...]
