BMW M3 E46 by G-Power

Are you one of those people who did not approve of BMW’s use of a V8 in its E92 M3? Tuner G-Power may provide the answer to your gripes as they offer a tuning kit for the E46 M3 which boosts its performance over the current V8 powered car while keeping the car's lovely straight six soundtrack.

They have achieved this 107 hp and 95 Nm (70 lb-ft) gain by adding an ASA T1-518 centrifugal supercharger. The peak power of 450 hp arrives at 7000 rpm, with its maximum torque of 460 Nm (339 lb-ft) arriving at 5500 rpm.

The boost in power allows the car to reach a top speed of 300 km/h (186 mph). To be able to stop the car from such high speeds, G-Power have fitted an improved braking system with six-piston calipers, 370 mm discs at the front and 342 mm disks for the rear.

To improve its handling characteristics, they have fitted the car with 20 inch Silverstone Diamond wheels with Michelin Pilot Sport tires.

The overall cost of all the modifications, taking into account the performance upgrades (€7.000/$9.250), the rims and tires (€4.422/$5.844) and the braking system (€5.800/$7.660 for the front and €3.860/ $5.100 euros for the rear) comes to €21.082/$27.860.
