Video: 1988 E30 BMW M3 Is a Serious Tire Burning on the Track

The legendary E30 BMW M3 from the late ‘80s is popping up in our news again in a video which highlights the car`s impressive handling and driving capabilities, and that despite its age.

Well-known journalist and BMW connoisseur Matt Farrah, has taken the 1988 E30 BMW M3 out for a spin to demonstrate that this old lad still has what it takes to do some serious damage on the track.

And the burn out video is showing what it can do in a stock form. Well, not entirely stock, the model coming with some improvements at the driving system. Performance wise, the model remains pretty much stock.

The car`s new improvements refer to the exterior. They were necessary in order to increase its aggressive look and air flow, especially in tight corners or at high speeds. The new styling changes refer to the EVO III splitter at the front and rear, along with brake ducts.

Besides the mint condition at the exterior, the 1988 E30 BMW M3 also comes, despite its age, with just 82,000 miles onboard, meaning that the engine is still delivering some serious punch, no matter what we think about its usage on the road.

The car`s S14 engine demonstrates that the ’88 E30 BMW M3 could still keep up with today`s much more evolved and “gifted” BMW models; at least for a short period of time!

The last time we saw an E30 BMW M3 exposing its good looks was back in April, when Harry Matcalfe, the original founder of EVO auto magazine, “exposed” his gorgeous 1989 M3 Roberto Ravaglia Edition. In a video, he highlights the car`s Navaro Silver Metallic colour scheme and grey interior, as well as the history of the E30 BMW M3.

You can admire the pristine 1988 E30 BMW M3 while is out for a spin, in the video below. Enjoy and don’t forget to share your opinions with us!

For the last couple of years we have seen drag races with modded cars from the sports segment racing against supercars, or family cars taking on stock sedan or hot customized hatches. All sorts of cars can race against…all sorts of cars.

The video below presents another drag race between two modified cars: one is the notorious BMW M4, an extremely fast sports coupe, and the gorgeous Audi RS6 Avant, that perfect family car that everybody wants.

There are plenty of particularities that set both cars apart. The BMW M4 Coupe is specifically built for the track use, coming with advanced mechanical characteristics and aerodynamics, while the RS6 Avant was built for young families with plenty of kids. However, the latter one comes with plenty of power and performance figure in stock mode.

To start with the BMW M4, the model comes with a 3.0-liter inline six TwinPower Turbo engine, with 431 horsepower and 550 Nm of torque, equipped as well with DCT and Launch Control, and allowing a sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in just 4.1 seconds. However, this particular model has been customized to deliver 490 horsepower.

On the other hand, the Audi RS6 Avant packs 560 horsepower and 700 Nm of torque, with a sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in an amazing 3.7 seconds, and that despite its massive weight of 1,935 kg. In this case, our RS6 Avant packs no less than 750 horsepower.

To conclude with, we have two heavily modified cars, a coupe going against a wagon model, with the first one coming with rear-wheel drive system and the latter one packing monstrous stock power, despite its massive weight. We also have a DCT gearbox and Launch Control against a seven-speed automatic.

Well, if you are a bit confused and can`t figure it out which car wins the drag race, then just push the play button of the video below and see for yourself which one is the real winner!

This particular program stands out from the crowd with a wide range of add-ons on the car`s body style. More than that, this particular model comes with the M package, and adding new tuning components, would only make it more aggressive and appealing.

The new aero kit comprises a bespoke front lip spoiler fitted over the M Sport bumper, adding as well new side skirts attached to the M Sport side sills.

Moving to the rear end, the rear diffuser makes the G30 more aggressive, while the custom trunk lid spoiler is fitted on the car`s standard one. The roof spoiler and custom exhaust system follow the same treatment.

Video: BMW M4 by Hamann Reaches Staggering Top Speed on Track

German tuners often meet at different events to show off with their latest creations, especially if they refer to heavy BMW customizations. In fact, it is all about pushing the pedal to the metal to impress the audience with staggering power and amazing top speeds.

It is just what happened at the Papenburg high-speed oval where well-known German tuners, including Hamann, speeded-out their newly customized BMWs.

German technicians from Hamann presented their new BMW M4, the gorgeous coupe coming with a new aero kit and impressive performance. What really makes this model special is its ability of reaching amazing top speeds on short distances. Well, not that short.

The BMW M4 presented in the video below by Hamann itself was able to reach a staggering 306.4 km/h in just three kilometers, with the stock 250 km/h top speed being achieved in one kilometer. To create such amazing records, such a model has to be thoroughly customized both at the exterior as well as under the hood.

To create more downforce and achieve greater stability on the track at such incredible speeds, Hamann technicians have added a special aerodynamic package and extremely lightweight 20-inch alloy wheels wrapped in Continental tires, which are able to withstand speeds up to 340 km/h, so the aforementioned speed is just a fraction of what the car could really achieve.

The car`s performance has also been updated. We are dealing here with 517 horsepower and impressive 700 Nm of torque, quite impressive than the stock 431 horsepower and 550 Nm of torque, squeezed out from the same 3.0-liter straight-six inline engine.

Should you happen to own such an impressive ride and want to achieve absolutely amazing top speeds, then our suggestion would be going for bespoke customizations at Hamann`s shop. You can find more info in the video below released on YouTube by Hamann! Enjoy and don’t forget to share your impressions with us!

When it comes to BMW you can always rest assured that the final product is based on two aspects: performance and design aggressiveness.

BMW M550d xDrive by G-Power

The BMW M550d xDrive by G-Power is a monster waiting to be unleashed. With the car already outputting sheer performance in its stock form it seemed rather impossible for any third party aftermarket tuner to further improve what was under the M550d’s hood. G-Power somehow managed to prove everybody wrong by tuning the 3 liter, six cylinder diesel from 400PS to a staggering 460PS. Every bit of performance the engine had was squeezed and taken to the next level.

BMW M550d xDrive by G-Power

The interior has not been modified at all. In the end it seems plausible, as G-Power seems to have concentrated more on the performance aspect of the BMW M550d xDrive. The price for this tuning package offered by G-Power is priced at a breathtaking 2,318 Euros which is the equivalent of 2,700 dollars. G-Power has explained that the whole process of beefing up the engine lies in the adjustment of the ECU unit within the BMW M550d xDrive.

Alpina doesn’t seem to be interested just in the performance aspect of the 435i. As in the case of other cars upgraded by Alpina, the tuner is interested in creating a comfortable and powerful ride without any compromise. On the outside the Alpina logos and the visual modifications undoubtedly attract attention. The car’s overall sleek aspect is completed by a set of 20 inch rims. The lid spoiler gives the car a sportier look and adds to the overall aggressive aspect of the car.

BMW 435i by ALPINA

The interior of the BMW 435i is probably the most important element when it comes to Alpina’s statement of no compromise.

“Suicide Squad” BMW i8 by Rene Turrek

Undoubtedly “Suicide Squad” was one of the most anticipated movies last year. Add an artist such as Rene Turrek and a BMW i8 and you get the perfect cocktail for a truly unique vehicle, one that The Joker himself would dream about driving.

While it may be debatable as to whether or not the movie lived up to the hype, it seems that it had a strong enough impact on some to the extent that they decided to incorporate the movie into their own projects. Such is the story of Rene Turrek, an artist that decided to incorporate the movie into the automotive culture by designing a “Suicide Squad” themed BMW i8.

“Suicide Squad” BMW i8 by Rene Turrek

While it may seem less interesting as a project build because of virtually no performance modifications, the sheer amount detail the outside of the car outputs is enough to convince any skeptic. First thing that pops out is the three tone paint job. The red, toxic green and pure white blend in accordingly to form the identity of the “Suicide Squad” BMW i8. The i8’s lines seem to blend in with the vast coloring applied to the body of the vehicle.

“Suicide Squad” BMW i8 by Rene Turrek

The hood seems to be the center of the masterpiece with a crazy Joker pulling down on his hair on a toxic green background surrounded by “Ha-ha” lettering. Rene Turrek’s design of the “Suicide Squad” BMW i8 is truly a masterpiece. However, it is not just about the look of this particular BMW i8. It is also about the ingenuity surrounding the design itself.

“Suicide Squad” BMW i8 by Rene Turrek

Rene Turrek has incorporated green LED lights on the hood design, projecting the movie’s atmosphere further into reality. The “Ha-ha” lettering was also painted with a special glow in the dark paint which makes the car seem full of surprises on one hand and quite crazy on the other. Without a doubt this looks and feels like a car that The Joker himself would probably be interested in driving were it not simultaneously a silent hybrid vehicle.

“Suicide Squad” BMW i8 by Rene Turrek

It is surprising how much of the BMW feeling has been kept in this particular vehicle. The BMW i8 by Rene Turrek is by no means an alter ego of the same vehicle. It retains the spirit and feel of the BMW while it takes on another meaning as well. The vehicle is a successful attempt at combining two aspects of two different worlds without canceling each other out.

Matte Black BMW i8 by EDC

Even with the reputation of the most beautiful car, the BMW i8 has always lacked in public opinion, a decent set of rims to complete that futuristic look it embraces so well. It seems EDC Wheels has finally come up with a remedy for that.

The BMW i8 is both a luxurious no compromise car, and an eco-friendly mean sports vehicle. With this in mind, it is no surprise that this hybrid monster reaches 100km/h in just over 4 seconds. With an electronically limited speed of 250km/h this car can compete with some of the meanest gas guzzlers at one third of the environmental cost. It is at the same time a high-tech precision machine. BMW has got us used to quite a range of driving gadgets which it includes as standard with this particular model.

When it comes to the exterior design, the BMW i8 is a cart that turns heads for sure. The futuristic look and the fine design lines make it one of the most desirable vehicles. All the criticism comes down to the rims. People feel the stock rims on the BMW i8 are not quite up to the challenge, which is why EDC has provided this particular i8 model with a set of 22 inch forged EDC Challenge rims. These particular rims give a premium look to the car while also taking the aggressiveness of the car itself one step further.

Mate Black BMW i8

While the rims complete the look, their classic, old look combines perfectly with the stylish futuristic aspect of the BMW i8 body in a harmonious mix of old and new. The bronze color complements the car’s matte black finish. One particular aspect that shows the extent of EDC’s love for perfection is the fact that the rims are the same color as the side skirt fin of the BMW i8.

Of course in order to complete the look, the BMW i8 has been lowered accordingly. The rims are wrapped in a thin layer of rubber, making the rims stand out without any question. The BMW i8 by EDC is the answer to the rim problem this particular car has been facing for quite long, now. While there might be other recipes to this particular problem, EDC seems to have solved the problem in quite a stylish manner, while also taking care not to clash with the car’s own personality.

2018 BMW X3 by Alpina

With the recent launch of the BMW X3 it was to be expected that it would not take too long before some aftermarket tuner would take interest in the new automotive appearance and try to give it an overhaul. This was exactly the case with Alpina and the new 2018 BMW X3.

The new XD3 as it was named is nothing short of fantastic. While it is still in the prototype phase there are plenty to notice just from the outside. The front side of the car has been slightly altered, while the most noticeable change is the pair of brand new rims. The car is noticeably lower than its stock counterpart, which, of course, means it looks and most likely handles more aggressive.

It is worth noting that Alpina has already tweaked a previous version X3. The XD3 concept is known territory for those over at Alpina. The new BMW X3 will most likely include a similar 3 liter double turbocharger diesel engine. As in the case of its predecessor this will probably lead to about 350hp. Will this be enough to make people look towards the new XD3? We will have to wait and see.

2018 BMW X3 by Alpina

The debut of the new 2018 BMW X3 by Alpina will probably take place at the 2018 Geneva Motor Show scheduled for March next year. Until then, we can only speculate as to what the performance – price ratio will be on this particular model. The same can be said about the current color scheme which in its gray form seems rather dull and common.

2018 BMW X3 by Alpina

There are also rumors of completion building a more powerful 2018 X3 variant. BMW M has been reconfiguring the stock X3 into something that might leave the Alpina XD3 in the dust. If the rumors are right and the 450hp X3 rumor is right, then the guys at Alpina will definitely have tough competition. One aspect might prove useful in this battle of the giants: fuel economy.

2018 BMW X3 by Alpina

While it may seem ridiculous, Alpina has also been working on fuel economy strategies to implement in this late 2018 X3 project. As we’ve come to expect, Alpina’s goal is to create a harmony between all aspects of automotive culture within the vehicle itself. If this is also the case, and it most likely is, then the XD3 will probably be oriented towards a public that wants more than just raw power from a beefed up ride.

BMW 5 Series E28 “Rusty Slammington”

“Rusty Slammington” the BMW 5 Series E28 is the result of one man’s love for his car. Mike Burroughs decided to put his rusty old car to good use, so what better way than to turn it into a speed monster. This BMW E28 is about looks as much as it is about performance.

The main thing about this car as the name may suggest is that it is a heap of rust. Of course this heap actually is a controlled one and is more powerful than your neighbor’s brand new 2017 stock BMW. In fact the look of the car seems rather menacing and not old or decrepit.

BMW 5 Series E28 “Rusty Slammington”

Still you can see right from the start that this particular E28 keeps the BMW spirit alive through the classic elements that have defined BMW for decades, now. The kidney grills, the older round headlamps the stop lights are without a doubt the BMW heritage that the manufacturer has left for each and every model it produces.

BMW 5 Series E28 “Rusty Slammington”

The BMW 5 Series E28 “Rusty Slammington” is in fact a rat-rod version of the same classic BMW. With a rear diffuser, side exhaust, huge wheel arches and a boxy wide body kit, “Rusty Slammington” is unmistakably a beast. The look of this E28 is wrapped by a set of BBS E57 rims wrapped in a set of thin tires. The rims complement the rest of the car through the brand new look and deep dish aspect. Mike Burroughs has even had time to add a WW2 bomber inspired decal which further gives this particular E28 style and personality.

BMW 5 Series E28 “Rusty Slammington”

The interior has been fitted only with basics. Apart from the roll cage and the racing seats there seems to be custom made light paneling for the interior of the car as well as various custom sensors and gadgets that help determine the car’s health at any given moment. The racing steering wheel seems right at home in this particular setup.

BMW 5 Series E28 “Rusty Slammington”

“Rusty Slammington” is powered by a modified 3.7 liter E34 BMW M5 engine that outputs no less than 500HP. The car’s stunning performance is also helped by the fitted next gen H&R suspension kit. Without a doubt the car sounds and feels amazing. The sheer power fitted into this one single vehicle is unbelievable. It is without a doubt one of the few race capable BMWs that incorporate both style and performance in one tiny but uniquely crafted package.

BMW M5 F90 MotoGP Safety Car

Just like in the case of its predecessors the M2 and M4, the BMW M5 F90 MotoGP Safety Car is far from a stock BMW with just a cool livery. It is in fact another example of BMW performance taken to the next limit.

Apart from the interesting livery applied to the vehicle the BMW M5 F90 MotoGP Safety Car features a suite of exterior modifications. One such immediately noticeable addition is the front carbon fiber addition to the bumper. The iconic kidney grills are also made out of carbon fiber on this particular variant of the BMW M5 F90, giving it an overall sporty and aggressive look.

The rims complete the package by further adding to the overall sharp aspect of the car. According to BMW this particular safety car is modeled after the M8 GTE, one of BMW’s next year debut vehicles. The addition of flashing lights as normal as it seems, complements the car’s design by making it look official, as if it was a police vehicle.

BMW M5 F90 MotoGP Safety Car

Another interesting fact is that this particular BMW M5 F90 is the first safety car provided by the manufacturer to feature the all new M xDrive technology, the main idea here being that the driver can send all the engine’s power to the rear wheels at a simple push of a button. How the car will benefit from this, in the line of work it is made to operate, is something we will all have to see.

BMW M5 F90 MotoGP Safety Car

The engine has also suffered several upgrades. With its 4.4 liter bi-turbo V8 engine, this car packs more than a punch. In fact, it seems powerful enough to race on the MotoGP track. It’s a shame this car is destined to be used as a safety car, actually. One thing that should be noted is that the BMW F90 M5 MotoGP Safety Car’s hood has been fitted with latches. This alone is an indicator of just how powerful the engine in this vehicle is.

The interior of the car while not as interesting has its own hidden gems. The M4 looking bucket seats are exactly that. Seen from outside, the seats make this BMW seem, once again, like a race car rather than a safety car used in MotoGP tournaments. It is clear that in this case BMW attempted to create more than just a simple safety car, but rather a beefy and sporty ride to showcase at such events.

BMW M3 GT2 S Hurricane by G-Power

0

The guys at G-Power have gotten us used to their high performance reinterpretations of the BMW car range. This time they propose a reinterpretation of the classic M3 E90, which in the end becomes the beefy GT2 S Hurricane, an orange mean looking powerhouse.

Modifications on the exterior include a wide body kit, carbon fiber additions, a GT type spoiler and a mean looking hood. The matte black rims on this particular build fit in well with the orange body of the car. The BMW M3 GT2 S Hurricane barely seems street legal. In fact, the overall aspect of the car seems to resemble those on the circuit. G-Power has successfully tried to balance style and performance with this car. The matte black decal on the side, the additional badges and the tinted windows contribute to the aggressive look of the car, without necessarily contributing to the improvement of overall performance.

BMW M3 GT2 S Hurricane

The interior with its bucket seats doesn’t seem out of context. The orange insertions on the overall dark gray interior are both stylish and discreet. They fit well with the car’s exterior, making the design look and feel overall cohesive. Something worth noting is that the interior does not compromise in any way comfort. The balance between comfort and performance seems to be just about right with the BMW M3 GT2 S Hurricane. The G-Power logo is quite neatly inserted in different parts of the interior, reminding you that what you are driving is no ordinary, stock BMW.

BMW M3 GT2 S Hurricane

The engine on this vehicle is a breathing monster, as expected. With 710HP under the hood, this car’s top speed is way over the legal speed limit. The BMW M3 GT2 S Hurricane does 0 to 200km/h in just under 10 seconds, which theoretically means it does 0 to 100 in half that time. The figures sound crazy, but you can tell by the performance parts installed on this car that these are no lie.

BMW M3 GT2 S Hurricane

The thin, wide type tires provide massive amounts of grip while the adjustable suspension is the guarantee to a smooth ride. The somewhat lower suspension also helps improve the aerodynamic aspect of the BMW M3 GT2 S Hurricane. Regardless of how you look at this vehicle, G-Power has managed to perfect it in every aspect imaginable. This particular project is the guarantee of a lifetime thrill that will not disappoint, no matter what expectations one has.

The BMW M2 is probably one of the best choices amongst the models offered by this particular manufacturer. With a personality of its own, the M2 is easy to fall in love with. The perfect balance between performance and comfort, offered by the BMW M2, can hardly be matched by any other car make or model. Starting with its stylish look and continuing with the premium feel this vehicle offers, it seems pointless for most, to attempt to further perfect this balanced mix. The guys over at 3D Design thought otherwise.

BMW M2 by 3D Design

The BMW M2 was painted in a shade of blue called Long Beach Blue, a color that immediately attracts attention. Sporty, aggressive looking front and rear bumpers were added. Along with these 3D Design also fitted matching side skirts. The spoiler is entirely made of carbon fiber. The same material was also used for certain details on the bumpers and side skirts. The rims, wrapped in thin tires complete the sleek, sporty look of this particular BMW M2.

BMW M2 by 3D Design

Under the hood, the BMW M2 has a slightly modified version of the N55 engine. Coupled to it is a custom made 3D Design exhaust system. Apart from the performance gain, the exhaust system also looks stunning on this particular BMW M2 build. It fits with the car’s identity very well. The BMW M2 by 3D Design is a true powerhouse. It is fast and nimble. The guys at 3D Design have kept the core structure and spirit of the BMW M2.

BMW M2 by 3D Design

With the BMW M2, 3D Design made a clear point. While the car was already balanced in terms of look and feel, improvements, even though not necessary, could be made. Modifications were not made to change the identity of the BMW M2, but to rather bring out the particularities of this specific model. The result was a more aggressive and sporty looking BMW M2, a variant that many will probably line up to purchase. This BMW M2 is another success story for the guys over at 3D Design, a garage that takes pride in all of its project builds.
