Leib Engineering is a young and fresh company that specializes in performance tuning.
The 2013 Leib BMW M3 GT 500 is their first project and it definitely is one that is ready to turn heads.
You can’t go wrong with a BMW M3 coupe, which is impressive as it is. Lieb gives the M3 a new interior, a couple of exterior modifications and increased output, not that the M3 needed an engine tweak.

Performance
The real tweaks that make a difference can be found on the in-house valve exhaust system. This covers a catalyzer (100 cell HJS). Included in this tuning project is an X-pipe that has silencers with end mufflers to complement the vacuum-controlled Pierburg valves.
This gives the car a boost in performance whether the valves are opened or closed. It increases the boost of about 27.5 hp because of this special design.
Performance tuning is definitely Lieb Engineering’s forte. They played this well in their BMW M3 project. The improvements applied to the engine software allows for the dual clutch transmission system to function shorter and more efficient shifting times.
Exterior & Interior
Lieb remained cautions and kept it clean, giving their project a pleasantly sleek white paint job. The M3 already comes with carbon fiber parts on the body. This includes carbon flaps, side mirror casings, the trunk lid and in other places along the trim of the car.
Leib improved on a whole new and different sport exhaust system which is equipped with VC. It is constructed using high-grade steel and can be seen running the length from the manifold through the pipes.
The interior includes Alcantara material to match BMW’s performance seats. This project might look like any other M3 GT 500, but after Lieb’s ridiculous tweaking, you’ll know that it’s no ordinary car.
