BMW M3 Leather Edition: a nicer interior to be in

The BMW M3 is a fantastic car to drive but I personally feel the interior is a little too bland for the fantastic machine that it is. I mean, it’s pretty much the same as the regular 3-Series except for a little more freedom with the choice of colours.

German turner Zwickenpflug clearly shares my sentiments and decided to deck the M3 out with a whole load of leather. There’s leather and Alcantara everywhere, on the dash, on the roof, the seats, the door panels, and there’s the special M blue and red stitching on a lot more places instead of it being confined to the steering wheel.

On top of that, the stock engine’s 420 horsepower has been upped slightly to 445 through some minor tweaking of the engine and the computer unit. There’s also some BBS wheels (frankly I prefer the standard ones) and aluminium pedals.

Soak yourself in the glorious leather in the photo gallery after the jump.

    i think it’s a bit overdone leh. too much of something is a bad thing.

    tone it down a little and change the colour scheme might be better.

    reminds me of the interior of the merc CLS AMG.. full of leather and alcantra. not too sure about the colour, but i certainly dont mind everything I touch in a car to be leather or alcantra.
