The Vorsteiner GTRS3 is what happens when you put a lot of carbon fiber, an M3 and some Porsche tail badges in a blender with a dollop of Venom’s symbiote as your solvent. Result: a stealthy post-apocalyptic performance milkshake on wheels.

Now point your finger at the picture. Just about everything other than the doors and roof has been replaced with a wide-body version of itself in carbon fiber (front fenders, skirts, rear fender extensions, etc.).

A hood is also available, along with a stainless steel exhaust. Wheel choices from Vorsteiner include forged V-308s (18/20 inches).

Only 100 wide-body GTRS3 kits are being sold worldwide, so this time when I say “Get them while they’re around,” I mean it. This looks like pure, de-glossed evil and I want one.

Vorsteiner recently released these initial images of the tuning program for the BMW X6M that features several styling improvements. This unique aerodynamic body kit is made from resin pre-impregnated and vacuum-formed carbon fiber that makes a 30% stronger body component when compared to the wet-lay method. The all new aero kit for the BMW X6M consists of a front spoiler, vented hood, rear diffuser, rear roof spoiler, and deck lid spoiler all made of carbon fiber. Outlining the front grille is the new spoiler to increase the downforce, which enhances the handling and performance.

The new carbon fiber vented hood on the BMW X6M is 40% lighter than the stock piece, and improves the performance by cooling the engine bay more efficiently. While driving, the rear roof spoiler and deck lid spoiler create a high pressure air stream along the rear end of the SUV, and the carbon fiber diffuser adds a nice finishing touch to the exterior.

Pictured here are a new set of 23-inch One Piece Forged V-102 wheels from Vorsteiner that are shown in a Satin Brushed Aluminum, and come wrapped in high performance Michelin tires. This special body kit for the BMW X6M will be available from Vorsteiner tuning in the summer of 2010.

Here we have the new BMW X6 M released by Expression Motorsport, featuring a wide body kit to differentiate this X6 from those of a more traditional variety. This BMW SUV received a new front bumper, LED indicators, directional fog lights, lightweight side skirts, rear bumper, carbon fiber diffuser, and a F1 brake light. Expression Motorsport will also supply dual exhaust pipes for those that do not own the X6 M model. Extra car tuning to the new BMW X6M includes the custom fender flares to fit the larger wheels.

For the wheel package, Expression went with 22-inch all black 6-spoke beefy rims on the BMW X6 M. They were able to fit these with the widen stance from the fenders, and also the modified air intakes in the front and rear. Tuning details for the performance were not announced, nor planned by Expression Motorsport, however we do know that the stock BMW X6 M carries a 4.4-liter V8 with 555 horsepower.

Here we have a Lumma Design BMW M5 that was spotted in Dubai outside the Dubai Mall. You may be thinking, overkill? Sure it looks impressive from the outside, but the blinding orange paint would get old after a week or so. Well the matte black stripes look pretty decent for a start, but the new bonnet vents are not the most appealing BMW M5 pieces we’ve seen. So, what exactly makes this BMW M5 CLR 500 RS overkill? Check out the over the top interior and tell me what you think. Carbon fiber is pleasant, but there comes a point where you have to say, “that’s enough.”

The US-based tuning firm Active Autowerke released this modified BMW M3 recently, which was mistaken to be a project from the famous tuners AVUS Performance. Supposedly AVUS used Active Autowerkes pictures from their site to help sell the new ADV.1 rims, which they are a dealer of. Transforming the stylish BMW M3 E92 series are several exterior and interior customizations. Sporting a new aerodynamic body kit made of carbon fiber, the ultimate driving machine rides on the never before seen ADV.1 wheel designs. The car also received an aftermarket suspension kit, high performance exhaust system, and a few interior accents.

Both of these new wheel designs, the ADV7.1 and ADV5.1 are available in several sizes and colors including matte bronze, matte gunmetal, matte black, brushed gunmetal, and brushed aluminum. The wheels you see in the first picture of the BMW M3, are the five spoke ADV5.1 rims measuring 20×8.5 in the front, and 20×10.5 in the rear, and come wrapped in high performance tires. Once everything is cleared up between Active Autowerke and AVUS Performance using their pictures to sell newly released wheels, we’ll expect to have performance numbers on the BMW M3.

Lumma Design has released these images of the BMW X6 CLR X650 M that will be displayed at the Geneva Motor Show next month. Based off the BMW X6 M, the new CLR X650 features a full body kit with new front and rear bumpers, black grille, side skirts, large rear spoiler, rear diffuser, and extended fender flares. Underneath the so-called wide body kit are huge 23-inch wheels from Lumma Design. In the engine bay the tuning company performed some customizations to the BMW X6 CLR X650 M.

Powered by a 4.4-liter V8 engine, the guys from Lumma upgraded the twin turbo to produce 650 hp and 830 Nm of torque. This is a boost of 95 horsepower, and 150 Nm of torque from the stock BMW X6 M SUV. From these numbers the car is able to sprint from 0-100 km/h in just 4.5 seconds, while reaching a top speed of 312 km/h. Extra details should be available once Lumma Design launches this impressive tuning project at the Geneva Motor Show in March.

The tuners from JFactory have released this stunning body kit and performance package to completely transform the new BMW Z4. This particular model pictured was built to participate in the Fuji Speedway 7 hour endurance race series in Japan. The JFactory BMW Z4 features an aero kit consisting of a new front bumper, front splitter add-on, side skirts, and rear bumper. A full carbon fiber vented hood allows cooler air into the engine bay, and it was much needed for the performance parts found underneath.

The tuning company installed a complete supercharged system from Dixis Redhot to increase performance on the track. All the new power is transferred to extremely lightweight BBS RE-Mg 19-inch wheels made from strong and lightweight magnesium. To participate at the Fuji Speedway, a new suspension setup was required which lowers the BMW Z4. Topping it off is a huge GT-style carbon fiber rear wing that was custom designed by Varis for this model.

The world renowned tuning company Hamann, have released this impressive package for the powerful BMW X6M. The strong M version of the X6 BMW SUV comes with an upgraded style along with performance increases. The guys from Hamann modified the factory engine to produce amazing power numbers at 670 hp and 850 Nm of torque. This was accomplished with the addition of sport catalysts, a mid-pipe with x-venturi, and the standard ECU tuning. With the speed limiter removed, the custom BMW X6M was able to reach a new top speed of 300 km/h.

Now for the exterior, the Bimmers styling was swapped with a new kit that redesigns the front and rear bumpers, side skirts, and adds a small rear wing. Giving it a sports car look, Hamann hooked it up with an aftermarket suspension system to drop the car 40 mm. They were still able to fit huge 23-inch rims into the wheel wells, and wrapped them in high performance tires to complete the wheel package. Interior customizations to the BMW X6M include a new steering wheel, aluminum pedals, and several carbon fiber accents.

This week, BMW held a press event for its 2011MY 5-Series saloon in Lisbon, Portugal giving journalists their first taste of the all-new premium sedan before it goes on sale in Europe this March and shortly after in other key markets around the world.

BMW claims that the 530d returns a combined fuel economy in the EU cycle of 6.3lt/100km or 37.3 mpg US.

The new 535i gets a new 3.0-liter straight-six with a single, twin-scroll turbocharger pushing out 306HP and 400Nm (295 lb-ft) of torque for a zero to 100km/h (62mph) sprint time of 6.0 seconds and an electronically-limited top speed of 250 km/h or 155mph.

The petrol model returns a combined fuel economy of 8.5lt/100km or 27.7mpg US.

In Europe, the new 5-Series will also be available with two more diesels, a 184HP 2.0-liter four-cylinder unit (520d) and a 204HP 3.0-liter inline six (525d) as well as three more petrol engines, a naturally aspirated 3.0-liter straight six with 204HP (523i) and 258HP (528i) and a twin-turbocharged 4.4-liter V8 with 407HP (550i)>
