World famous BMW tuning house, Hartge, revealed their E92 3 Series Coupe styling package in the M5 V10 engine transplant prototype known as the H50 V10 (http://www.worldcarfans.com/tuners.cfm/tunerid/7061212.003/country/gcf/BMW/hartge-h50-v10-coupe). Minus the ventilated bonnet, the kit is essentially the same for the cabriolet model seen here. But now, you don't have to imagine it. Feast your eyes on the snappy renderings of what it will look like. Hopefully, Hartge will give our man on the scene, Nick Hall, a crack at it so we can give you the details and real life shots. For the 335i bi-turbo engine, no major engine mods have been announced other than an ECU upgrade which gives a pawltry 34hp and 37 lb-ft of torque (293 kW / 340 hp @ 5800 rpm and 450 Nm / lb-ft 332 @ 1500 rpm) extra.
The perception of ECU tuning on an aspirated engine leaves one uninspired by these numbers. But expect more dramatic engine tuning packages in the coming months as tuners devise a completely new development program for BMW's first turbo engine in 30 years.
