2010 Onyx Concept BMW M3 E92/E93

When someone hears about the Onyx Concept tuning company, Range Rover will most probably come to mind, or more recently Bentley or Porsche. But now Onyx is expected to release new styling and performance package for the BMW M3 (E92/E93).

The BMW M3 exterior changes include a new front and rear bumpers, side skirts, lip for carbon, carbon rear diffuser, carbon  hood, carbon trunk spoiler and roof top. We’re digging the modified front bumper with carbon fiber front lip that makes the M3 extra aggressive, but the rear of the car just looks way too bulky and busy, especially with the funky trunk lid going on.

On the styling front, the tuner installs modified bumpers, revised side skirts, and several carbon fiber components (front  spoiler, rear diffuser, ventilated hood, and trunk lid). Inside, customers can order “buffalo hide” leather upholstery and  carbon fiber trim which has a range of colored weaves.

Onyx offers a package that enables the 4.0-liter V8 to produce 630 PS (463 kW / 621 hp) instead of the  standard 420 PS (309 kW / 414 hp). No word on how this is accomplished, but we’re assuming it involves the usual base  modifications such as a revised ECU, a high-flow air filter, and a sport exhaust plus some form of forced induction.

The price information wasn’t released, but the packages will be launched on October 31st.
