Vogtland Suspension for BMW 3 Series

It's hard to imagine that the BMW 3 Series, the current one, needs a suspension revision. In fact it doesn't. Even Vogtland themselves admit so. However they have provided one nevertheless. It's for the hardcore fans of sideways lunacy and track day goers. I say suspension but the whole thing is just a set of springs which lower the car by 30 mm. Supposedly, one would benefit from the lower center of gravity and the better sway control. Nobody can't be quite sure if all works out, but at the

BMW 1M on 20" Vossen VVS-CV3 Concave Wheels [HD video]

Vossen Wheels equipped the BMW 1-Series ///M with enormous VVS-CV3 concave wheels in dimensions 9J x 20” at the front and 10.5J x 20” at the rear. The rims are finished in nice matte silver machined paint and according to our opinion looks SICK! Do not bother about the small 1-Series rolling those enormous wheel

BMW recalls 1 300 000 cars

Usually, we don’t report anything related to manufacturers, but this is very important and potentially dangerous. BMW AG is the world’s largest premium car manufacturer and one of the most expensive brands in the world. It is reccaling around 1.3 million cars for repair due to a possible problem with a battery cable cover in the trunk. Because of this, the car can catch fire, which is extremely dangerous and hard to cope with. This can happen with all models from 5- and 6-Series BMWs buil

The BMW E90 M3 - A Vorsteiner Project

Vorsteiner seem to be preoccupied these days with BMWs. More specifically, the M3 range. Well, this time it's not actually Vorsteiner. It's one of their dealers - Vivid Racing, based in Glibert, Arizona. They have taken a 2008 BMW M3 Sedan (E90) and have spiced it up in the name of aesthetics. At least, that's how some people see it. Power is not up, but Vivid Racing are considering it as the bar for more performance is now up. By the bar, I mean the stopping power – four new Brembo 380mm cro

SR Auto Exkalaber BMW M5 E60

New stuff from SR Auto. Well, actually it's the BMW M5, the E60 one. A project called the “Excalaber” - the strange misspelling trend continues – aims to provide a refreshing look on a generation of BMWs that is on the verge of being overshadowed by its current successor. The idea here is that, SR Auto do not provide any parts of their own, but rather mash together what they can find and see if it works out as an art piece. That's why we have here a Hamann aero kit (front lip, side skirts

A Blue BMW M3 GTRS3 by Vorsteiner

Vorsteiner's GTRS3 program for the BMW M3 Coupe is not really something that came out yesterday – it's been around for almost two years now. However, it sill is hot by today's standards and the latest proof of that is what we see here – a matte blue GTRS3 M3 having a photo shoot in Taiwan and generally gaining popularity. The program is mainly visual and consists of a widebody kit – front and rear bumpers (rear end diffuser included), flaring wheel arches and extended side skirts, all mad
