BMW M3 E92 Widebody


If only Prior Design could do for our physiques what they do for ordinary 3-series, we`d all look like meatheads for just 2,999 Euros
BMW M3 E92 Widebody: Hormonal disposition!

Once again, the designers at Prior Design have raised the bar: With the new BMW M3 lookalike body kit for the current three-series coupe model, the tuners from Kamp-Lintfort have produced an absolute masterpiece. Following the ‘tame` version, which appeared in August of this year, comes the widebody version, which suits all E92 models with the exception of the real M3, and thus transforms every coupe into a genuine M3 clone.

Virtually an M3 GT2!

The widebody version is, of course, a completely new development. The body kit comprises a new front bumper with large air intakes, and a completely new bonnet with numerous air vents similar to those on the BMW M3 GT2 from long-course motor racing. A set of side skirts make the car appear lower, while the rear receives a completely new bumper and diffuser. The width of the body kit is most striking at the mudguards. The front mudguards were built completely new, while the mudguards at the rear axle were widened by a few centimetres on each side.

The new body kit also contains a spoiler on the boot lid, as well as on the roof, which are both also available in carbon fibre. It should also be noted that the rear bumper suits the M3 exhaust system as well as all other tailpipe versions, except for the 335i. Prior Design is also offering a specially designed stainless steel exhaust system in the style of the M3 that suits the new widebody body kit, which can be purchased from EUR 1,499.00. In terms of the lowering, the tuners from Kamp-Lintfort have relied on the quality of a KW coil-over kit, which allows the individual adjustment of tension and pressure.

As usual, the components of the new M3 body kit are manufactured from Duraflex, a very flexible and extremely stable material. And, of course, there is a valid TÜV component conformity certificate for every component, for smooth registration.

Widebody body kit: from EUR 2,999.-
Bonnet: EUR 1,390.-
Rear spoiler: EUR 299.-
Roof spoiler: EUR 299.-

Nissan Ellure Concept has rakish style


It clearly has allure, we like the aerodynamic lines and glass roof too, those lounge seats are a winner and if it gets the 2.5-liter inline four-cylinder engine twinned with a 25 kW electric motor it will surely be in line with future power solutions
Nissan is making a big splash at the Los Angeles Auto Show with the unveiling of the Ellure concept.

Created to showcase the company`s commitment to sedans, the Ellure features an aerodynamic design and four-door coupe styling. Notable highlights include a steeply raked windscreen, a glass roof, reverse opening rear doors, and 21-inch five-spoke aluminum wheels.

Inside, the cabin has a tri-color design theme, lounge-like rear seats, a front passenger "forward-facing ottoman", and a floating center console.

The concept doesn`t have a powertrain, but Nissan envisions it would use a supercharged 2.5-liter inline four-cylinder engine and a 25 kW electric motor which would be paired to an Xtronic continually variable transmission (CVT). Furthermore, the Ellure would also have an independent suspension, regenerative brakes, and an advanced drive-by-wire electric/hydraulic steering system.

Kellners Sport BMW 535i gets full works


Ahead by over 60PS, neat geometric looks and a quad-piped stainless-steel sport exhaust system with silencer as well as a 30mm drop in suspension and unique 19 or 20" wheels
German tuner Kelleners Sport have a new tuning kit for the F10 BMW 535i.

First off is a power upgrade for the current (2011) 535i. The technicians over at Kelleners are able to dial output on the 3.0 liter inline 6-cylinder twin-turbo to 367 PS (270 kW) and 480 Nm (354 lb-ft) of torque - up from the series` 306 PS (225 kW) and 400 Nm.

Kelleners also provides a new quad-piped stainless-steel sport exhaust system fitted with a silencer. A suspension kit lowers the 535i by 30 mm.

A body kit is also part of the tuning package which includes a new front apron with a spoiler lip, a new front spoiler with LED daytime running lights, side skirts and an apron at the back integrated with a rear diffuser.

The whole thing rides on 19-inch or 20-inch alloy wheels.

More details are sure to follow.
