Post G-Power Package For E46 BMW M3 Brings The Power

G-Power E46 M3
The guys over at Germany-based tuning house G-Power must work 24/7, because they've announced yet another tuning package for BMW vehicles. They've already come up with tuning packages for the current generation M3, M5, M6, and Z4. Now they're looking backwards to the previous generation E46 M3, which was in production from 2000 to 2006. At the time it was introduced, the 3.2-liter I6 engine in the E46 had the highest specific power output of any naturally aspirated BMW had ever produced, with 343 horsepower and 273 lb-ft of torque. So, when G-Power decided to bolt an ASA supercharger (from the company which provided the superchargers for the the above mentioned models and who also supply superchargers to Alpina), you know you can expect big things.

G-Power E46 M3
The power has been boosted to 450 horsepower and 332 lb-ft of torque. G-Power's acceleration tests list a 0-220 km/h (124 mph) time of only 14.7 seconds, coming in a full second ahead of the current stock E92 M3. Top speed is listed at 300 km/h (187 mph). G-Power's adjustable coil-over suspension also makes an appearance in the package, as do their 20-inch Silverstone Diamond wheels, skinned with high-performance Michelin Pilot Sport tires. No pricing has been announced yet.

G-Power packages seem to be a bit standardized at this point. Add a supercharger, some adjustable coil-over suspension, new wheels and tires, and maybe some body panels or exhaust pipes. But, considering how good they are at making those packages, you can't really blame them. You can check out a full, high-resolution gallery of the E46 G-Power M3 in the M3 Gallery (they start on page 5 of the gallery).
