APP Europe Builds 450-Horsepower BMW M3 Coupe

For those BMW M3 owners who would like to tune their car without going to extremes, APP Europe is now offering a new package comprising of performance and styling upgrades sourced from other tuning firms.

Starting with the M3's naturally-aspirated VG8 engine, a kit from Collaction AG bumps output by 30HP and 40Nm to 450-horsepower and 440Nm / 325 lb-ft of torque.

Stopping power is improved through a new lightweight brake system from Stoptech that includes 6-piston calipers with two-piece 380mm disks up front and 4-piston calipers with 355mm disks at the rear end.

The BMW sports coupe also gets a KW Club-Sport suspension package, a lightweight titanium exhaust system with sport catalysts from Akrapovic and new lightweight 19-inch alloy wheels from ATS weight shod in Michelin Pilot Sport 2 tires.

A neat-looking foil treatment in a matte titanium finish completes APP Europe's package.

APP Tunes up the New Nissan 370Z Coupe

Having already messed around with Nissan's 350Z and GT-R, the tuning specialists over at Advanced Performance Parts (APP Europe) are now paying their respects to the new 370Z Coupe with the release of a new sport package. APP upgrades the Japanese sports car's exterior with a new stainless steel exhaust system from MR Car Design, which offers a heartier tone, and a set of three-part 20-inch alloy wheels from Oxigin wrapped in tires 245/30 up front and 275/30 at the back.

The tuner also mounts a Stoptech High-Performance Brake system with 6-piston calipers in conjunction with 380x32 mm discs at the front and 4-piston calipers with 355x32mm discs at the rear.

The package is finished off with a KW coilover suspension that lowers the 370Z Coupe's ride height by another 30mm.
