Hamann Tweaks BMW 3 Series Coupe

LAUPHEIM, Germany — The BMW 3 Series coupe E92 by Hamann features an aerodynamics kit, power boosts, new wheel rims and a sportier interior.

If that isn't enough, the German tuner says it also is preparing a power boost to 380 horsepower for the BMW 335i.

Hamann said it boosts the power in the BMW coupe by recalibrating the standard ECU. The six-cylinder gas engines in the 325i and the 330i get a boost of 13 hp and 17 hp, respectively, and about 18 pound-feet of torque. The top speed goes up to 155 and 165 mph, respectively. The standard top speed in the 325i is 152 mph, while the standard top speed in the 330i is 155 mph.

The tuner is offering four 18-20-inch wheel designs for the 3 Series, as well as a lowered suspension. Interior upgrades include sport gearshift knobs in aluminum or leather/aluminum, and aluminum pedals, handbrake lever and footrest.
Multimedia upgrades include a DVD player, TV reception and a Sony PlayStation game console.
