2012 Alpha-N BMW M3. Performance-oriented drivers are in safe hands with the specialists of Alpha-N, whose factory halls are located in Bad Neuenahr-Ahrweiler – a stone-throw from the legendary Nürburgring-Nordschleife. A high-performance sporting device emerged on the basis of the M3 which is not only suitable for the racing pitch alone but can also be comfortably and thankfully moved around in daily routine. We all agree on the engine capacity: No thud will ever be this sufficient. Yet, it was sufficient to boost performance capacity by approximately 30 Horse Power during reconstruction, which was generated through the classical optimization of the engine software, the construction of a carbon air-box system for the improved respiration of the eight-cylinder driving gear and a titanic sports exhaust system from the specialists of Akrapovic. In summary, this produced a capacity of approximately 450 Horse Power.

To ensure that this power can be translated into propulsion without any meaningful loss of driving force particularly during the hard conditions of race-circuit application, a high-end competition chassis frame from KW joined the bodywork with individual alignment, combined with an ultra-light set of OZ Superforgiata rims, all in the format 10×19 inches with the Michelin Pilot Sport Cup tires in 265/35R19. The Alpha-N boys endowed the bodywork with a carbon front spoiler in the racing version with brake ventilation shaft, a carbon rear diffuser as well as an impressive carbon rear wing soaring above the rear cover all for an optimized aerodynamic as well as of course, a non-insignificant amount of weight-saving. The last visible modification on M3 is a set of exclusive Recaro Pro Racer Hans seats which ensure a perfect sitting position for the driver and the passenger.

In the next stage, the owner of this routinely applicable racing instrument is planning to install a roll cage, a set of carbon doors, a carbon engine hood and a carbon rear cover and a MAC fully carbonated air-box system.
