Forthcoming BMW M3 eat your heart out cause Hartge has presented a coupe version of the E90 BMW 3 Series Sedan based, and M5 powered, H50 V10. Its called H50 V10 Coupe, and as you read on the title above, it�s based on the 2008 3 Series Coupe. Like its sedan counterpart, it uses a modified version of BMW M5�s 5.0 litre V10 powerplant producing an extra 43 Hp, thus raising output to 550 Hp and torque to 520 Nm. The 5.0 V10 is coupled to a 7-speed SMG transmission and achieves a time of 4,4 sec for the 0-100 km/h (62 mph) time while top speed is 320 km/h (200 mph).

To help the H50 V10 Coup� put the power onto the road, it is fitted with a reinforced rear axle and a special suspension system that can be adjusted not only for height but also for rebound and compression. The wheel/tyre combination consists of 20'' alloys with Continental 245/30 ZR 20 and 295/25 ZR 20 tyres. The H50 V10 Coupe also receives a redesigned hood with air-outlets and a new front apron. In the interior, besides a speedometer graduate up to 330 km/h, there�s a carbon interior trim, 3-spoke steering wheel with carbon inserts and the leather/aluminium handbrake handle.

In general though, and considering that this car�s equipped with an tuned M5 engine, its appearance is quite modest especially if you compare it with other modified bimmers. Sound nice doesn�t it? Well, that�s cause you haven�t heard the price yet: 157.600 EUROS �or- 208.400 USD in Germany �tax included of course. Call me stupid but if I lived in Germany I�d prefer to buy a Porsche 911 GT3 (108.083 EUROS) and 2008 BMW 335 Ci �yes the one with the twin turbo engine (44.317 EUROS) and save a total of 5.200 EUROS�.
