For the E90 BMW 3-Series sedan, Japanese tuning company, Wald International, has released another new body kit which follows the same hard edged look with louvered styling elements previously seen in the recent Bentley Conti GT Black Bisson Edition and Mercedes C-Class Black Bisson Edition. Despite the resemblance, Wald has decided not to give this 3-Series a Black Bisson Edition designation but instead a simpler WALD E90 Sports Line name.

Whatever you want to call it, the body kit includes front bumper fascia with dual fog lamp projectors, side skirts, rear bumper fascia, luggage lid spoiler and exhaust system. Also seen are WALD’s latest wheel set, MAHORA M11C, 19 x 8.5J in the front with Face dish 1 and 19 x 9.5 for the rear with Face dish 3.

Wald International has fired a barrage of new body kit packages recently, such as the E90 3-Series, BMW M5 and Mercedes C-Class. And now their latest release, is possibly one of their most important. Wald, in our humble opinion, can be hot and cold with their designs, but it seems they’ve got a winner with their GT-R Sports Line kit.

Perhaps not as radical as the purpose built GT-R GT500 race car for the Japanese Super GT race series, but Wald’s initial design, which is still in development, shows a menacing track-prepped look particularly with the rear wheel arch flairs, rivet clips included. Also in the kit are front bumper fascia, lower rear bumper fascia with integrated diffuser, side skirts, upper rear wing extension and lower lip spoiler on the deck lid - both in carbon fiber.

The front and rear bumper fascias at first glance appear over-styled with excessive air ducts and prominent non-functional rear diffuser, but still somehow manage to compliment the GT-R with just enough restraint without going too far.

Japan’s premiere tuner of European and Japanese premium marques, Wald International, is no stranger to the Continental GT. Back in October 2007 they sent us some tasty images of their styling package for the W12 coupe, and now, have worked their photoshop magic to create a slightly more daring kit.

Under Wald’s aggressive Black Bisson Edition, the Conti GT receives a restyled body kit which is hard edged with louvered styling elements. As a quick preview by Wald, no firm information has been released yet, but they provided a series of images which include Wald’s 21-inch Portofino, Aufzhalen and Mahora wheel ranges.

In contrast to the recent Wald BMW M5 kit, that was described as “tastefully crafted” and not “too extreme”, Wald has taken the W204 Mercedes C-Class and crafted an aero kit which clearly expresses their bipolar tendencies.

With flagrant usage of vent or louver design in just about every lower body component, Wald has taken their Black Bisson Edition to a level that will either be loved or loathed the world over.

Despite the picnic table rear wing and vented fender panels, the only redeeming aspect is the rear bumper fascia design (excluding side louvers) with its integrated twin tapered oval exhaust tips.

If you think that current BMW M5 is not sporty enough, then you may consider installing the new body kit from Japanese elite tuning company Wald International. In contrast with aggressive-looking body kits of European origin, Wald’s package makes the M5 look more elegant and, well, somewhat ready, if you know what I mean.

The kit, Wald International says in its press release, includes new front apron with integrated carbon fiber parts, side skirts, restyled rear bumper fascia with integrated carbon fiber air diffuser and carbon fiber deck lid spoiler. The car sits on Wald’s Portofino forged black-painted wheels.

The Japanese company still says nothing about the kit’s price and availability in Europe and North America.

The Lexus IS F was recently launched in Europe and the States following the successful introduction to its native Japan last year where it is going head to head with the likes of the BMW M3 and Mercedes C63 AMG. Despite a pretty formidable package under the hood where you will find the 417bhp 5.0-litre V8 engine mated to an eight-speed paddleshift transmission, the exterior styling does not show the aggression to match.
