I don’t know about you guys, but the BMW M3 has long been one of my favorite cars considering it good looking, luxurious and above all else, fast. Evidentally, Manhart Racing has decided the vehicle is not fast enough having recently announced a tuning kit for the vehicle.

Just how much of a tuning kit this is remains arguable considering Manhart Racing has actually swapped the M3’s stock engine out for the V10 engine found in the BMW M5 and M6. They coupled that beast of an engine with a 7-speed SMG transmission, DMW steering system, quad exhaust in addition to removing the speed limiter.

In conclusion, all of these advancements makes for a 550HP V10 BMW M3 capable of reaching speeds up to 208 mph and sprinting from 0-100km/h in just 3.9 seconds.

The 2011 BMW 6 Series is the next car that is up for redesign which may launch in late 2010 as a 2011 model. The sheetmetal of the new 6 Series will, much like that of the redesigned 2009 7 series, be inspired by the 2007’s Concept CS. Although European buyers will be offered diesel versions, U.S. cars will be powered by the twin-turbo V-8 currently in the 7 Series and X6. The engine will drive the rear wheels through the new ZF eight speed automatic transmission.

The new 6-series is may make its debut at the 2009 Frankfurt Motor Show in September, prior to its 2010 launch. A new M6 is expected to follow in early 2011, though its V-10 could make way for a more aggressively tuned version of the twin-turbo V-8.

A lot of features led by its overall design may be in store for people familiar with the BMW 6 series. So you may call this new installment from BMW a retro and modern consolidation of sorts. The car in focus is the Racer X Design BMW RZ-M6 which captures the stylish and aggressive looks of older generation BMWs.

The current M6 already offers a high level of performance, with upgrades for even more power available worldwide. The RZ-M6 is designed to show how a 6 series should look like to reflect that pedigree.

While aggressive, it’s not over the top, keeping the lines of the current M6 structure flowing and factory like. It’s not a boy racer’s car, but more mature, more elegant, yet not to be messed with. All this was evident in the older generation BMW’s. This is a tribute to the E24 6 series.
