The German company Zwickenpflug decided to take a different approach from the other famous BMW tuners and instead of changing the already beautiful exterior of an M3, they put all their efforts in modifying the blend interior.
The M3 in discussion features a customer leather interior with plenty Alcantara inserts, a beautiful suede sporty steering wheel, an all-leather dashboard and sport seats. To compliment the sporty design, a new set of aluminum pedals are part of the deal.
And as any other respectable BMW tuner, Zwickenpflug belived that the engine needs a small boost. Some ECU tweaking bumped the standard 420 horsepower version to a whooping 445 ponies. The factory speed delimiter was removed and the M3 tops at 202 mph or around 325 km/h, not bad at all.
The vehicle comes also with a new set of 19 inch BBS alloy wheels and that’s pretty much the only upgrade to the exterior design.

Taking the C63 AMG as a base, Carlsson’s engineers developed a performance kit that boosts the serial output of the 6.3-litre V8 from 457HP to 565HP while the torque significantly increases from 600 to 685 Nm. The German tuner claims that the CK63 S needs a mere 3.8 sec to accelerate from 0-100 km/h (62mph) instead of the serial 4.5 sec. The sport sedan’s top speed is electronically limited to 300 km/h or 187mph.
To help put the additional power on the road in a sensible manner, Carlsson has developed a sport coil-over kit that offers step-less height adjustment and individual settings for the damping characteristics. If you’re willing to push your hand deeper into the pocket, Carlsson also offers an optional torque-sensitive multi-plate limited slip differential with mechanically variable lock-up.
Moving on to the vehicle’s styling, Carlsson’s aerodynamic kit consists of a front spoiler, the front spoiler lip and a rear spoiler which are made of high-quality PUR or optionally real carbon. The kit is complemented by a set of lightweight 19-inch alloy wheels.
