Prior Design BMW M5 on Savini Wheels

Prior Design BMW M5 Savini 0 600x336 at Prior Design BMW M5 on Savini Wheels
If you own a wide body Prior Design BMW M5, chances are you would like it to have a very brash exterior color so as to accentuate the body kit and make it pop. The owner of this widened M5, however, has had it with brash colors and decided to wrap it in a more sober color. The result is one of the most unique M5s in the world.
They sent the Prior Design BMW M5 to Impressive Wrap for a change of skin to gold metallic white – we’re guessing from blue. As usual, iW has done a spectacular job and the finished product looks like it has had a complete respray. The white wrap is complemented with gloss black grilles and clear taillights, plus a set of very high-end wheels.
Those wheels are a set of Savini rims with concave design in a unique matte bronze finish. So the owner didn’t want to let go of the showiness completely, after all. That said, the wheels make a very nice contrast with the white body and do not look particularly in-your-face. They just help the car look a little bit cooler.
As for the styling kit on this Prior Design BMW M5, the package consists of custom front and rear bumpers with a lip spoiler up front and a diffuser out back, unique PD front wings with flared arches and side vents, custom side skirts, rear wing, and rear wide fenders complete with door panels.

PP Exclusive Goes Wide with a Liberty Walk BMW M3

Quite the setting to showcase a new wheel model.
When a company wants to introduce a new line of wheels, it’s best to do it on a vehicle that will draw all sorts of attention. That’s exactly what PP Exclusive did with their Liberty Walk E92 BMW M3. While the new PP Exclusive “Deep Concave” wheels are the main feature, the widebody looks helps grab even more attention.

The two-door E92 BMW M3 was the perfect platform to put the new wheels on display thanks to its reputation for having unrivaled driving performance. The new PP Exclusive Deep Concave forged wheels with their three-piece construction feature an anodized aluminum outer rim with thin, five-spoke design. Special carbon inlays add a unique touch to the deep-dish, concave wheels. Up front, the M3 wears the Deep Concave wheels in an 11.0 x 20 fitment while the rear comes in at a massive 13.0 x 20 setup.

The other aspect of the fitment required the BMW M3 to be equipped with new KW Clubsport coilovers. The adjustable suspension allows for a variety of heights, bound, and rebound settings to prevent any rubbing or damage.
Complementing the new PP Exclusive Deep Concave wheels is a Liberty Walk widebody kit. The front and rear fenders have all been generously extended and connected via exposed bolts. A large carbon fiber front spoiler, extended side skirts, and a protruding rear trunk lip add a more dynamic touch for the German sports car.

The final part of the conversion was a new Akrapvic exhaust system. The 4.0-liter V-8 engine can open up its high-revving vocal chords thanks to the new exhaust with X-pipe and quad black anodized tailpipes.
The new PP Exclusive Deep Concave wheels featured on this E92 BMW M3 are currently available in a variety of finishes alongside the brand’s Crownjewel and Majestic wheels.

Loewenstein Mercedes CLA “SAPHIR”

Loewenstein Mercedes CLA 0 600x365 at Loewenstein Mercedes CLA “SAPHIR”
When you hear the name Loewenstein, you probably think it’s a Jewish tuner who is in the business of lowering cars. And that is somewhat true. But there is more to what they do, as shown here with this brilliant Loewenstein Mercedes CLA 45 AMG dubbed Saphir (Sapphire).
Being based on a CLA 45 AMG, Loewenstein Mercedes CLA starts out with 360 horsepower and 450 Nm of torque. The AMG four-cylinder turbo engine used in this model is undoubtedly one of the engineering marvels of our time. Still, with only one hour work and installing a plug&play power module, Loewenstein Manufaktur can boosts that output to 410 horsepower and 530 Nm.
Those who want still more can opt for a sport catalytic converter with a carbon fiber hood featuring an integrated air intake system complete with sport air filters. These changes will result in a total output of 425 horsepower and 540Nm – not a significant gain given the number of mods and their cost.
You are better off getting the 410 hp kit and spend the rest of your money on the wide body kit exclusively designed for Loewenstein Mercedes CLA. Consisting of an RS front spoiler and rear diffuser and a 3-piece rear wing, the carbon fiber kit adds 20mm to the girth of the little CLA at the front and 40mm at the back. Lowered suspension and a set of 20” concave wheels complement the kit.
Last but not least, Loewenstein offers a seres of interior upgrades for the CLA Saphir, including sport steering wheel, new upholstery, door and dashboard trims, and floor mats.

Fairy Design Mercedes CLA Wide Body

Fairy Design Mercedes CLA 0 600x353 at Fairy Design Mercedes CLA Wide Body
Japanese tuner Fairy Design has come up with a new wide body kit for the Mercedes CLA which gives the little four-door coupe the girth, and attitude, of a muscle car. Fairy Design Mercedes CLA is the most insane version of the car you can buy today… if you live in Japan.
The thing is, the CLA is a cute and cuddly little Benz one would imagine is appealing most to young college kids and, you know, ladies. Neither of those demographics are that into wide body kits, especially such extreme body kits. Fairy Design Mercedes CLA kind of looks like a small man who has taken an inordinate amount of steroid and sort of grown out of his own body!
The styling package on this Fairy CLA consists of front and rear over fenders – which have something of a Liberty Walk design about them – front lip spoiler, rear diffuser, and a cool ducktail rear boot lid spoiler. If you want the full effect you have to also get a set of large and wide wheels and also sport lowered suspension.
The cost of Fairy Design Mercedes CLA is 600,000 Yen in Japan. There is no talk of a performance upgrade, but if you go for the CLA 45 AMG model you won’t need one anyway. 

Own this classy BMW 750i E38 by Vilner for $25,000

We’ve just stumbled upon a rather lovely BMW 750i (E38) currently being sold by Vilner for $25,000 (€23,000).
If you are a fan of older Bimmers, now is your chance to own a mint 7-Series of the E38 generation with full service history and driven for 90,098 miles (145,000 km). The vehicle was first registered back in July 2001, so this is one of the last E38 units ever made taking into account production ended the same year.
Its V12 5.4-liter engine produces a healthy 321 hp (240 kW) and 363 lb-ft (490 Nm) of torque. It's enough muscle to grant the full-size premium sedan with a 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) run in 6.6 seconds and a 155 mph (250 km/h) electronically-restricted top speed.
The 750i E38 tips the scales at 4,398 lb (1,995 kg) and features a five-speed automatic transmission sending the engine’s power to those 19-inch Z-Performance wheels. Vilner has also incorporated daytime running lights in the halogen headlights and mounted a subtle spoiler lip on the trunk. More importantly, the car’s engine, brakes, differential, and AC have all been rebuilt, while the belts and filters are brand new.
As for the interior, this is where the aftermarket specialists worked their magic to freshen up the 7-Series. Grey leather was used to cover the dashboard, along with decorative stitching for the seats and door panels. Moreover, there are black piano varnish accents on the dash, center console, gear shift lever, steering wheel, door strips, and on the back of the front seats.
The car comes with numerous other goodies, including an adjustable suspension, side blinds, sports pedals, navigation, electric seats, built-in phone, and more.
