The new Brabham BT 92 based on the new BMW M3 Coupe has relaunched Brabham Racing – the only problem is that this is not the real “Brabham Racing.”

While the BT 92 may be every bit of hotness that one tuner can offer the BMW M3 Coupe, this isn’t the Brabham Racing company. Apparently Sir Jack Brabham has come out vocally strong showing his anger for the use of his family name on a range of accessories from whoever it is at 2008 Essen Motor Show displaying the car. The 82-year old said that he will be taking legal action over the use of his name. He said he recently found out that someone had registered the names Brabham and Brabham Racing in Germany.

“The Brabham family is a big family,” Sir Jack told Global Coast. “There are some Brabhams still racing and we want to protect our name. I am extremely upset about this.”

Appearance wise the BMW M3 Coupe by Zwickenpflug (yeah we’re having a hard time pronouncing it too) may not look pretty aggressive and wild but performance wise its a whole different story. On the outside, Zwickenpflug throws on a set of 19-inch BBS alloy wheels and that’s about it. Inside the car gets upgraded leather with suede trim and aluminum pedals.

Performance wise Zwickenpflug tweaked the engine and ECU to extract an additional 26-hp for a total of 440-hp from the 4.2L V8. That allows for a little boost in the 0 to 60 mph time and a top speed of 202 mph.

Zwickenpflug is only offering its version of the M3 Coupe in Europe. Pricing and availability details have yet to be announced.

So we’re pretty disappointed that BMW has canceled plans to build an E92 M3 CSL. Well its seems like so was a California based tuner Vorsteiner, who decided to do their own version of the E92 M3 CSL by adding a couple of weight-saving features.

Vorsteiner added a new body kit to the 414-hp M3 that consists of a carbon fiber front spoiler, rear diffuser and 3 integrated aero fins along with a new replacement carbon fiber boot lid with a built in lip spoiler. The tuner also added a new titanium performance exhaust system that weighs only 17.3 lbs as compared to the factory version that weighs 56.3 lbs. Inside, Vorsteiner added a full carbon fiber interior kit.

Vorsteiner is also offering 20-inch 5-spoke aluminum wheels.
