German Tuner Leib Engineering is determined to make a name for itself and picked the best car for its endeavor: the E92 M3. Their first creation is interesting, to say the least.
Coming out of the assembly line dressed in a most common Alpine White paint job, the M3 was first put through a series of aerodynamic changes using a set of high-grade carbon fibre bits and pieces like: flaps for the front spoiler, caps for the rearview mirrors and a boot lid spoiler.

However, it would be a total waste of carbon if the car's power output wouldn't have been meddled with. From the stock 420 HP of any stock M3, the S65 engine is now delivering 470 HP due to a custom ECU remap, a new stainless steel exhaust system with 100-cell HJS catalyzer, X-pipe with middle silencers and an end muffler with vacuum-controlled Pierburg valves.

Having so much power at its disposal, the brakes had to be upgraded so they picked the best in the business: Brembo. The weapon of choice was a GT braking system with six-piston calipers and 380 x 32mm discs on the front axle and four-piston calipers with 320 x 28mm discs at the back. Those babies are now visible behind the Matte Black 19" BMW M220 forged alloys.

Inside, Alcantara leather wraps up almost everything, from the BMW Performance seats (with custom Leib Engineering logos) up to the steering wheel, for an exquisite and comfortable feel.
