Two previous generation â€šÃ„Ã²Mâ€šÃ„Ã´ sports cars, the M3 E46 and the Z4M, get a revamp in a package thatâ€š somewhat weird than what the German company is famous for. This tuning program includes a large ASA TM I 20 centrifugal supercharger that enhances the M3 and Z4M 3.2-liter straight-six engine's output from 343 hp and 365 Nm to 450 hp and 450 Nm or 331.9 lb-ft of torque. The 107 horsepower boost helps improve acceleration from standstill to 200km/h or 124 mph from the standard M3 E46 Coupe's 18,1 seconds to 14,7 seconds. The boost makes it significantly faster than the current 420 hp M3 V8 that needs 15.8 seconds for the same sprint. Road handling is improved for both the M3 E46 and Z4M with a continuously height-adjustable G-Power coil-over suspension RS with nine selectable settings each for bound and rebound. The M division sports cars are equipped with lightweight 20-inch alloy wheels shod in Michelin Pilot Sport tires (245/30 ZR 20 at the front and 285/25 ZR 20 at the back), allowing a top speed exceeding 300km/h or 187mph. Not included in the basic package is a sports rear muffler! Photo gallery after the jump! G-Power Bmw M3 E46
