Kelleners has announced its full F30 3 Series tuning program encompassing both cosmetic and performance upgrades.

On the performance side, Kelleners offers a quad exhaust system, lowering springs (30mm/1.18in Front, 25mm/0.98in Rear), or coilover suspension which allows lowering of up to 60mm / 2.36in.

Kelleners F30 3 Series

Impressive. I really like the second set of wheels in the pictures. I was trying to find prices, but their website didn't give me anything.

[gerbs]

Wow those numbers look good.. And a warranty to back it up? Hrm.. http://www.kelleners-sport.com/en/documents.php

I wonder if they'll have a plug-n-play option for easy mapping/unmapping.


Hoping Cobb will roll up soon with some toys..

[FotiosF90M5]

This all looks promising. I like the front lip and the wheels. Anyone know a vendor that sells this stuff? I'm dying to make my f30 faster and more aggressive looking.

[AWF30MSPORT]

I really like the look of the rear diffuser and quad tip exhaust.

Why so little torque on the 335i? Most N55 tunes I've seen get at around 400lb-ft at those horsepower levels? Also why does the 640i get more power and torque? Isn't it the same n55 motor aside from the factory ratings differences?

I also want to know the price. Would love to hear how the exhaust sounds for the 328i. Is the quad exhaust available for the 328i or is it only for 335i?

[NateDog07V]

Very curious to know how the springs compare to the H&R Sports.. anyone know the rating of both of these compared to stock? what's the price for the tune as well?

Probably because it starts with more.

On a side note, the 328 tune brings it up to 335 power levels. Wonder if it's more cost effective to tune or just buy the upgraded engine?

[ATX78703]

damn, sick 2nd set of wheels

The BMW N55 is underrated in the 335i, and makes around 270rwhp stock. That's closer to 320hp at the crank, yet BMW rates it at 300hp at the crank.

My gut tells me the N55 in the 640i/740i is the exact same motor without any changes to it, but that it's just a marketing ploy to make the 640i/740i owners feel better about their cars' motors.

[BenTrovato]

This looks pretty good, well done Kelleners!

[Nang Vann]

That's nice as!

[positiveions]

looks dignified to me.

[Xcution]

Sure lets tell everyone what we got, but not give them any pricing. Way to go.

Now that I finished crying about people. Need pricing to see if it might be worth getting the 328i and this ECU mod or just getting the 335i... ???

[Alan l.]

I do believe ECU tuning is done by HARTGE but being rebadged for Kelleners.

Its a piggyback tune that we can purchase here in the states through Turnermotorsport.

Alan

[kokopuffs405]

quad exhaust mmmmmmm

[NYe60chrisIU]

i like what they've done here a lot. any lip that makes the front end vertically longer will make this car look a lot better.

im still waiting on someone to make a part that would cover up the area where the headlight connects to the grille

If we go by what Alan said, the chip and it is being rebranded see link below:

http://www.turnermotorsport.com/BMW-...2005-cars.aspx

The chip cost approx $1,200

EDIT: They actually have it on sale from $1,600 to now $1,299 if you probably wait till end of year or so with other competitors or more stuff coming out for the F30 you can get this fro under 1k, imo. Lets see...

[TrueBlue12]

how much for the lip? 1k?

[f30_Vincent]

So what exactly does this piggyback do to achieve such a high increase in hp for the N20, and what's that going to do to the long term reliability of the engine?
