A quick search of the internet will reveal that the 1-Series M Coupe, or 1M as some people call it, is one of the most desired BMWs of the moment. Despite only having six cylinders, it's only 0.1 seconds off the pace set by the more powerful E92 M3.
However, this purist's has fans and plenty of potential, thanks to its lively chassis and focused suspension. Thus, it's the perfect car to tune into a real beast!
German tuning company Hartge has created just such a monster. Using the magic of... [...]
Joining a multitude of tuners that have worked over the BMW 1 M Coupe this past year
is Hartge. The German company's program includes both performance upgrades and styling modifications for the M version of the 1-Series Coupe.
The tweaking starts under the hood with a Hartge power kit and a sports exhaust system that improve upon the standard model's 3.0-liter turbocharged inline-six lifting output from 335hp (340PS) to 396hp (401PS) at 5,850 rpm and maximum torque from 450Nm to 530Nm (391 lb-ft) at 2,950 rpm.[...]
The Mercedes SLS AMG is one of the most attention-savvy cars out there, but that wasn't enough for some people who had the means to change it. We wouldn't exactly call the Hamann version of the supercar a subtle job, but adding a flying pegasus to the front end has made this one radical car.
The tuner offers a net set of forged alloy rims for the vehicle. Dubbed Design Edition Race Anodized, the wheels use a cross-spokes design and feature a black matte finish. The rims also come with titaniu... [...]
Among the many tuners that have pushed the limits on the original Nissan GT-R is Ohio-based Switzer Performance. And what a beast the E900 GTR is as its twin-turbocharged V6, which runs on E85 fuel, makes no less than 834-horses?at the wheels and completes the quarter mile in 9.7 seconds with an exit speed of 147mph (237km/h)!
Drive Channel's Matt Farah took a privately owned E900 GTR for a test drive and let's just say that he was impressed by the sheer power of Switzer's creation.[...]
The Porsche 911 is a car that has something special - take an example form any generation out on the street and you'll still get attention, despite the vehicle's age. This is also true for the aftermarket scene, which likes to play with 911 of all ages.
The latest tuning development based on an older 911 comes from US company Vynil Styles and targets the 996 generation of the car (this is the 911 from two generations ago).
The rear-engined coupe has revived a matte wrap, but the special th... [...]
Just imagine how life would be like if you lived in the mansion shown in the adjacent images and you'd wake up in the morning looking at your customized Ferrari F430 that's waiting for you in the pavement. This is what US aftermarket specialist Modulare Wheels is proposing, with the company releasing a special photo shoot to promote its goodies.
The F430 in the images rides on Modulare B14 forged monoblock wheels that come in a 20-inch size (20x8.5 for the front axle and 20x12 for the rear o... [...]
Listen to ten hours of dubstep, consult a manual for urban art and then tune a car. That's probably how this very interesting but thoroughly strange German-tuned Volkswagen Golf GTI came into the world.
The five-door version of the Mk VI GTI has been given a matte gray finish for most of the body except the front wings and lower grille surround, which have been wrapped using comic book imagery.
The Golf also has a bit of carbon wrap here and there and the obligatory lowered suspension and ... [...]
German tuners were never shy to experiment with strange color combinations, even though most of the times, the results are questionable, to say the least.
CFC, which is short for Car Film Components, is a German firm that specializes on vinyl wraps but it also offers complete tunes. In its latest project, CFC has reworked a Volkswagen Golf GTI.
The hatchback's body is covered in a matte grey vinyl wrap, with the roof and the exterior mirror caps finished in carbon fiber, and the passenger side front fender, the GTI logos, the fuel cap and the inner part of the lower front grille featuring a comic strip-like wrap.[...]

The new Kahn 3D mesh grille can be installed using the factory mounting points and incorporates impact resistant technology, while also allowing customers to receive a carbon fiber insert. You can have the 3D mesh grille in whatever finis... [...]
The Mercedes CLS63 AMG is a car that combines many worlds. If offers the interior space of a sedan, the power of a supercar and the shape of a coupe. Thus, the vehicle can serve as a perfect basis for a tuning project.
The latest aftermarket development for the CLS comes from ADV.1 Wheels, which fitted the car with a nice set of new shoes. We are talking about ADV5.21 SL rims, which uses a one-piece construction and a five double-spoke design that seem to match the curved lines of the CLS.
