BMW is soon to shift out the current M3 with a new one, but we've grown quite fond of the V8 rumple. German Tuner Leib Engineering has tried to make the E92 M3 Coupe even better by putting it on a diet and workout routine.
Firstly, they took the stock V8 from 420 HP to 470 HP, using 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.

To make sure it stops a little bit better, they also fitted massive Brembo disk brakes, sized 380 x 32mm for the front and fitted with four-piston calipers, and 320 x 28mm discs at the back with two-piston calipers.

Every little bit helps in the performance industry, so they chose to equip this M3 with a number of carbon fiber aero parts, like a new front spoiler, mirror casings and a boot lid spoiler. The result is clean and simple, just like the Germans like them.

Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s. He also loves local car culture from all over the world, so don't be surprised to see him getting excited about weird Japanese imports, low-rider VWs out of Germany, replicas from Russia or LS swaps down in Florida.
