The BMW M3 is widely acknowledged as one of the best sports cars in the world, but the interior is only so-so. To correct this German turner Zwickenpflug created a special version called the M3 Leather Edition.

The standard M3 interior is replaced with a luxurious custom leather interior that features Alcantara inserts on the door panels, steering wheel, dashboard and the sport seats.

The interior isn't the only place where Zwickenpflug went to work as the company also tweaked the engine and ECU in order to produce an extra 25 hp for a total of 445 hp. Thanks to the removal of the speed limiter the M3 Leather Edition can run to a top speed of 202 mph (325 km/h). Other changes to the car include a new set of 19-inch BBS alloy wheels for improved handling and a new aluminum pedals.

Nice job with the dashboard. Its a bit pathetic that BMW fills even an M3 with cheap plastic...

Oh come on now Lamborghini, there's no 3 series BMW with cheap plastics. The interior design may be not really likable but the quality of materials is good except for one area - the air con part. The Merc C class is the car of the three german cars with cheap plastics - even the steering wheel is japanesish plastic.

The car above is however plush - much better than the factory fitted interior.

Yeah, that is acres of leather. I'm most impressed by the attention to detail though. I mean, leather on the lower door-sill? Thats plush!
