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 [...]

More Hartge goodies, 1 Series this time

Wednesday, 06. 17. 2009  –  Category: Aftermarket News, Main

Hartge seems to be on a heavy product announcement schedule lately, with word leaking out regarding their new products for the current BMW 1 Series ( E82 and E88 with M Aerodynamic package).

I admit it, with Hartge’s help I’m warming up to the X6. It took a while, but damn if this set of body modifications from one of Germany’s uber-tuners doesn’t look absolutely FIERCE!
Hartge just announced details on their new product line for the BMW SAV, which include some pretty aggressively sculpted pieces. It’s a complete [...]

As you might know, we’re currently enjoying an extended trip through Europe which included a stop in Munich to visit the BMW Museum, BMW Welt, and the Munich BMW Plant (more on that later).

For those wishing to increase the performance of an already stellar platform, RDSport offers the RS35 Biturbo.

More pics of the D1GP BMW E92

Monday, 04. 13. 2009  –  Category: Aftermarket News, Main

Ueno’s BMW has been spotted on the D1GP circuit recently, and Jon Sibal has some cool new shots. For traditional BMW fans this is no doubt sacrilege, but I’m sure there are valid reasons: this E92 Coupe has a Toyota powerplant under the hood. The Vertice Design D1 BMW TE382 sports a seriously wicked-looking widebody [...]

German tuner Lumma Design recently announced the release of their latest piece of body kit goodness, a rear deck/trunk/hatch lid for the BMW E60 5-Series, including the M5. Developed entirely in-house, Lumma claims the design generates additional downforce due to the resculpted spoiler lip. This piece is available in two versions:
- Full carbon surface skin [...]

Japan BMW tuner goodness Ericsson is known for their high quality, highly polished products (see this previous post about their titanium exhaust). Not only do they offer exceedingly good looks, but there is a true weight gain to be had as well through the prolific use of titanium and dry CF. Comparing the current product [...]

Bimmerfile just posted a fantastic intro to their experience with the BMW 135i with a slew of BMW Performance add-ons. This rather comprehensive tuning program appears to be targeted at BMW fans who prefer relatively easy bolt on improvements vs. doing deeper development work, but all in all it sounds like a sweet little uptick [...]
