German tuner Kelleners Sport have a new tuning kit for the F10 BMW 535i.

First off is a power upgrade for the current (2011) 535i. The technicians over at Kelleners are able to dial output on the 3.0 liter inline 6-cylinder twin-turbo to 367 PS (270 kW) and 480 Nm (354 lb-ft) of torque - up from the series' 306 PS (225 kW) and 400 Nm.

Kelleners also provides a new quad-piped stainless-steel sport exhaust system fitted with a silencer. A suspension kit lowers the 535i by 30 mm.

A body kit is also part of the tuning package which includes a new front apron with a spoiler lip, a new front spoiler with LED daytime running lights, side skirts and an apron at the back integrated with a rear diffuser.

The whole thing rides on 19-inch or 20-inch alloy wheels.

More details are sure to follow.

I was expecting more since the 335i can be tuned to around 400 hp.

a little different type of kit i was expecting for the 5 series. the front has less of the curvy look from previous gen 5 series. but those vertical fog lights or whatever they are, that's a nice litle feature. not sure if there's a function for it, but it looks nice.

I know its a completely different car, but i got to drive a 2009 bmw 535, and now i know why people love the way bmw drives. Its not the best looking car, but it just felt solid.
