Thumbs up Vorsteiner Release New Body Kit for BMW E90 M3 Sedan

California-based Vorsteiner prefers working on the German brands BMW, Mercedes-Benz and Porsche. Having already provided kit for the BMW E92 M3 (coupe) Vorsteiner has now released a new lightweight aero kit for the E90 M3 (sedan).

The package is made up of parts like a carbon-fiber add-on spoiler, a carbon fiber rear diffuser with three integrated fins and a carbon fiber boot lid with a lip spoiler. The latter acts to enhance down force and weighs over 35 percent less than the stock unit which is made of steel.

Thanks to these components the lighter-than-average Vorsteiner M3 sedan should be better placed to exploit BMW's factory 4.0-litre V8 with its 414 bhp (309 kW; 420 PS) and 400Nm of torque.

Looks awesome the kit looks great on both cars....but hasn't his stuff been out for awhile now?

Anyway its funny how they focus on weight loss here. The trunk is the only savings in shedding weight, the diffusers being added in just add some weight that was lost

i think that's dmerk's car before the paint job... they will be releasing new pictures due to the release of the hood.

I believe they are planning to debut it @ MFEST

Car looks great !

But what are they talking about here ? Which " THESE " components will shave off weight your car ? Just the trunk ?

Looks clean, but the rear arch of the trunk just doesn't seems to flow with the existing lines of the rear end.

It looks the same as the E92/E93 kit??? The CSL trunk is played out and doesn't go with this car...I love Vorsteiner but it really isn't different.

I was thinking that too, but I think the big hype over this is the CSL style trunk, which so many E90 M owners have been waiting for ??

I agree with you guys...what's new here? Everything in the pics has already been fitted to some of the members M3's here. I.E. Nate's Mel Red E90 at IND did all the parts pictured, including the carbon & poly lip, and both rear diffusers.

At first glance I thought this was Long's, but he has carbon mirrors.

Maybe a hood and skirts are coming...and this was a tease...I just like the photos!!

Edit: Meant to say Mike's E90 from IND.
