Their take on this legendary vehicle is bold, yet very interesting. The inspiration for this project was the M3 GT E36, an exclusive car model available only for the European market. It was the M3-GT’s iconic status that has brought such an interest in reinventing it. The BMW M3-GT F80 is in fact a reminder of the glory that this particular model holds behind.

The BMW M3-GT F80 has been upgraded in various ways. Starting with the engine clocked at a staggering 520hp, the BMW M3-GT F80 by Laptime-Performance is built around the idea of maximum power. The DKR chip upgrade, as well as, the Remus exhaust system, completes the performance aspect of the vehicle in a beefy, powerful package. The suspension has also been considerably lowered to allow the car to look and feel sportier. In addition, lower clearance also means a bump in the BMW M3-GT F80’s aerodynamic factor.

On the exterior, the BMW M3-GT F80 by Laptime-Performance retains some of the features of its stock counterpart. The paint of the M3-GT F80 immediately attracts attention. The English green shade is nothing short of amazing mixed with the HRE 20 inch rims that are wrapped in Michelin thin tires. The exterior upgrades also include small changes to the car’s body. A notable change is the addition of carbon fiber accents around the car, specifically on the trunk lid spoiler.

The interior also seems to abide by the same overall concept Laptime-Perfofrmance has been trying to integrate in their project. The custom leather Recaro seats complete the look and feel of the already classy designed interior of the M3-GT F80. The sport steering wheel, with the classical M Power stripes reminds you that this is no ordinary BMW. The BMW M3-GT F80 by Laptime-Performance is in fact one of the few BMWs that incorporate both the performance and comfort in one sleek package.

The BMW M3-GT F80 by Laptime-Performance is a true power holder. It represents the fine line between comfort and performance. The number of customers asking for this particular model shows in fact the extent to which the reinventing of the BMW M3-GT F80 has been successful. Laptime-Performance has managed to surprise the automotive industry once again with a fresh new take on one of BMW’s most iconic cars.

The latest project to involve an M2 Coupe is this gorgeous lad seen here in the media gallery below, the model getting an exquisite design courtesy of technicians from Laptime-Performance tuner.

It is what they called the “Black Beauty” the hot lad being equipped a full M Performance treatment, including standout elements like the new “GTS” front lip spoiler, full carbon bonnet, CSL-like trunk lid, adding as well the new set of 19-inch HRE R101 alloy wheels, which makes it perfect with the rest of the M Performance livery.

The M2 Coupe here is also highlighted by upgraded mechanics, such as the LB19xx Little Box battery, Clubsport three-way adjustable KW coil-over suspension system, Akrapovic Evolution exhaust system, as well as the Mcchip-DKR`s ECU software.

The aforementioned upgrades automatically lead to a power boost under the hood, but unfortunately the carmaker wouldn’t reveal the details at the moment. In the stock version, the 2016 BMW M2 Coupe pacls a 3.0-liter M TwinPower Turbo inline flat-six engine, churning out 370 horsepower and 465 Nm of torque. This is enough to sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.3 seconds with a DCT and 4.5 seconds with the manual.

There were also some slight changes inside the cabin as well, the interior packing Recaro Pole Positions sports seats, Awron data display, and a few more.

The german team started from a stock M2 and added some style elements, performance parts and aero components.

For the beginning, let’s remember the stock model’s numbers. It boasts 370 hp @ 6500 rpm and a maximum 465 Nm of torque (500 with overboost). It shares the same 3 liter, 6 cylinder engine with its cheaper brother, M 235i, but adds extra 44 hp.

Using the M DCT gearbox and with the Launch Control function activated, the M2 accelerates to 100 km/h in just 4.3 seconds, and reaches 250 km/h, or even 270 km/h, when equipped with M Driver pack.

The german tuner near Munchen added extra 50 hp, thanks to the modified software and the all-new exhaust system. It may not look much, but the engine was already doped up with its 123 hp/liter. The maximum torque reaches 580Nm, which shows a more impressive raise than the power.

There are no official numbers about the acceleration and the top speed and, if you think that the performance improvement is rather symbolic, the germans announce that this is only the beginning. In the future, it will probably available a Stage 2 tuning, replacing the downpipes and, why not, a Stage 3, with a turbo upgrade.

The M2’s looks is either sensational or horrible. It depends on each one’s taste. I mean…the front lip is HUGE! And the rear wing is anything but a good match with the body style. However, on the track, the two elements are a good help for the driver. But on the road, they look exaggerated.

On the other hand, the rims integrate absolutely perfect in the car’s line. And the KW Clubsport coilovers should be a real improvement in the car’s stability. In front, there are black grilles, while the 2002 turbo stripes are an homage to the historical model. Do they look ok? It’s, again, your choice.
