			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2><span style="font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal;">It appears that BMW has heard about the appearance of their aging models in the streets. The luxury car makers have given shape to two new styling packages for the 3-Series Coupe and Convertible. Get ready to make your cars updated extravagantly with the new BMW offerings.</span></h2>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-12758" title="BMW Aging Models Get a Young Touch  " src="http://www.carblog.co.za/wp-content/uploads/BMW-1.jpg" alt="BMW 1 BMW Aging Models Get a Young Touch  " width="570" height="380" /></p>

<a href='http://www.carblog.co.za/2011/07/05/bmw-aging-models-get-a-young-touch/bmw-3-2/' title='BMW (3)'><img width="150" height="150" src="http://www.carblog.co.za/wp-content/uploads/BMW-3-150x150.jpg" class="attachment-thumbnail" alt="BMW 3 150x150 BMW Aging Models Get a Young Touch  " title="BMW Aging Models Get a Young Touch  "  /></a>
<a href='http://www.carblog.co.za/2011/07/05/bmw-aging-models-get-a-young-touch/bmw-1/' title='BMW (1)'><img width="150" height="150" src="http://www.carblog.co.za/wp-content/uploads/BMW-1-150x150.jpg" class="attachment-thumbnail" alt="BMW 1 150x150 BMW Aging Models Get a Young Touch  " title="BMW Aging Models Get a Young Touch  "  /></a>

</p>
<p>The Edition Exclusive package is available for both the coupe and convertible models. It has Oxide Silver mirrors and 18-inch V-spoke Space Grey alloy wheels.</p>
<p>Interiors get distinct with features like Dakota leather seats in pearl grey or Black with contrast stitching. Unique floor mats with color-coordinated piping goes well with the leather upholstery as well as the Bamboo Grain Anthracite wood trim.</p>
<p>On the other hand, the M Sport Edition looks more sober with features like 18-inch Ferric Grey alloy wheels in double spoke design, black painted mirrors, a body shade diffuser, and an M sport suspension.</p>
<p>An exclusive shade for the car is offered in Silverstone paint finish from BMW M3. Inside, we have the same Dakota leather sport upholstery, an M steering wheel, Aluminum Glacier trim and distinctive floor mats with blue piping.</p>
<p>Both of the items will be hitting the market this fall. And we are ignorant about the price for now.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Take a look, and be charmed. The BMW 5-Series F10 has just received a new styling. Courtesy of Lumma Design Russian affiliate TOPCAR, the car has been made much more attractive with the sprucing up of the body.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-8851" title="BMW CLR 500 RS2, styled by TOPCAR Lumma, revealed" src="http://www.carblog.co.za/wp-content/uploads/Lumma-Design4.jpg" alt="Lumma Design4 BMW CLR 500 RS2, styled by TOPCAR Lumma, revealed" width="570" height="380" /></p>
<p><span id="more-8846"></span></p>
<p>Thanks to the new body styling done on the BMW 5-Series F10m, the new look comprises a redone front bumper with integrated LED side markers, rear bumper with diffuser, vented hood, front and rear wheel arch extensions, side skirts, rear spoiler, fitted quad exhaust system and M-style R20, R19 Lumma Design wheels.  What more do you want in the car?</p>
<p>The new decked up car is called the CLR 500 RS2 and comes with body components made up of vacuum formed Kevlar and carbon fiber.<br />
The stylists have also revamped the interiors throwing in Nappa leather and carbon fiber trim inserts.  The CLR 500 RS2 gets shown at the 2010 Moscow Motor Show. More pictures below:</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A supremely modified Volkswagen Golf IV R32 has been unveiled by MTE. Modifications under the hood include the German tuner specializing in turbo conversions. There are installed turbo-plus intercooler along with larger injectors, modified cylinder head, forged pistons, high performance camshafts, and an optimized ECU.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.carblog.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/MTE-Volkswagen-Golf-IV-R32-1.jpg" alt="MTE Volkswagen Golf IV R32 1 MTE’s New Offering: Volkswagen Golf IV R32 Highly Modified" title="MTE’s New Offering: Volkswagen Golf IV R32 Highly Modified" width="570" height="380" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-8472" /></p>
<p>All of this fine tweaking means that the car, with its twin-turbo 3.2-liter V6 pushing 2.2 bar of boost with a compression ratio of 7.8:1 produces 790 hp (589 kW / 801 PS) and 1200 Nm (885 lb-ft) of torque is capable of navigating the quarter mile in 10.7 seconds at 216 km/h (134 mph).</p>

<p>To handle the extra power generated, MTE added a Sachs two-disc sintered clutch in addition to a KW Coilover &#8216;Club Sport&#8217; suspension, semi-slick tires, and a high-performance braking system (with 360mm discs and six-piston Brembo calipers). Inspired by this beauty, car fans, speed fans, power rush addicts are all looking to see what MTE gives next.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The facelifted SEAT Leon Cupra has only been around for sometime and JE Design did not exactly like what it saw and hence came up with a tuning package to make it an untamable racing machine.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-5376 aligncenter" title="Styling Upgrades for the Facelifted SEAT Leon Cupra by JE Design" src="http://www.carblog.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/2009-seat-leon-cupra-by-je-design-1.jpg" alt="2009 seat leon cupra by je design 1 Styling Upgrades for the Facelifted SEAT Leon Cupra by JE Design" width="570" height="379" /></p>
<p>The kit picks up the horsepower of the car to 285 hp with 380Nm of torque and this has been achieved thanks to a revised ECU module which solely costs €1,499. Consequently, the Leon Cupra can now pelt from 0 to 100km/h in 5.9 seconds and can hit a top speed of 261km/h. With a better engine, you need better cooling and hence there is a stainless steel sports exhaust system which individually costs €899. The suspension of the Cupra has been lowered by using a coilover technology which brings down the ride height by 40mm and 19-inch gloss black multi-spoke wheels equipped with high performance tires (all costing €2,930) complete the package.</p>
