Canadian tuner MWDesign have begun a tuning programme for the BMW M3 Coupe (E92) which they have codenamed Darth Maul, presumably from the Star Wars Episode One baddie. Currently the programme is in stage 1. For now only a few pieces of kit have been installed in Jerez Black, the colour of the exterior. For starters there is an Amuse Ericsson front bumper with custom orange highlights.

Carbon fiber side vents continue with the custom orange colour, as do the carbon fiber side mirrors. A rear diffuser made from carbon fiber rounds off the major exterior changes. The black 20-inch rims with orange-accented centre caps are wrapped in 245/30/20 front tyres and 285/25/20 rubber at the rear. Interior details are rare but we are told that Darth Maul comes with a Fox Red interior trim.

The BMW M3, of any generation, is undoubtedly one of the most tuned sports cars of our time. The current car was launched in 2007 with a 4.0-litre V8 engine replacing the old 3.2-litre straight six. Despite the 800cc gain the new engine is 15kg lighter. Maximum power was increased from 343hp (252kW) to 420hp (309kW). Stay tuned for stage 2 of Darth Maul.

"Maximum power was increased from 343hp (252kW) to 420hp (309kW)"

Isn't that the output of a normal M3?

No, at the bottom WCF are comparing it to the previous M3, which had 343bhp. Look closer next time.

it was an official BMW statement a year ago , they wont build another CSL, they said marked studies were unfavorable. then they canceled the M1 project and abandoned plans for a new Z4M.

but they went ahead and made the X5M and X6M , weird move.

Canadian? Wow... I'm so proud! This almost makes up for that embarrassing Bombardier Can-Am Spyder POS. Almost.

Why bother featuring a "tuner-shop"? Naming it the programme Stage 1 body kit... please... they just ordered it, painted it, and installed it. Shouldn't it be AMUSE who gets the full feature?

On second inspection you are absolutely right! The body kit is by Amuse which is a company based in Japan...the article made it look like it was an MW design job... I guess we're going to have some dissapointed Canadians now (Bremen****)

Any true M3 fan would look at this car's front spoiler and throw up... don't get me wrong, this is a sweet car, but the front spoiler is too exagerated and looks like it's melting off the car.. it looks Japanese and not classy at all.. let the boys at Dinan or Hamman do it...
