  | Zwickenpflug reveals 445hp BMW M3 'Leather Edition'    Though BMW's latest 3-series treatment is something of a love-it-or-hate-it design, the gang at Zwickenpflug are decidedly in the 'love it' camp, leaving their customized car's exterior almost completely untouched. Inside, there's a score of changes, and the engine even gets some tweaks to boost output to 445hp (332kW). Exactly what was done to the 4.2L V8 inside the M3 isn't clear, but the ECU has been tweaked to yield a gain of almost 6%, likely from adjusting fuel ratios and ignition timing. The power gain takes the car's top speed up to a frightening 202mph (325km/h). The only exterior tweak is a set of 19in BBS alloy wheels. More:motorauthority

| Re: Zwickenpflug reveals 445hp BMW M3 'Leather Edition' I always get a bit suspicious when there is a German leather edition...

| Re: Zwickenpflug reveals 445hp BMW M3 'Leather Edition' I quite like it. Not to sure on the dash trim though.
