  • When one 600HP BMW is not enough, you make two of them!

    G-Power BMW M3 F80 and M4 F82 front viewG-Power BMW M3 (F80) and M4 (F82) deliver 1,200 hp combined output!

    G-Power is one of the main companies out there which specialize in BMW tuning. There is no doubt that by doing so they make the enthusiasts happier than before. Adding to the excitement is the fact that the experts usually work with the M-Series… Just like in their latest project, which is an interpretation of the latest BMW M3 F80 saloon and the brand new M4 F82 Coupe.

    Basically, both cars deliver a combined output of 1,200 hp, which means that the exact force of each BMW is 600 hp. To asses this achievement at its worth, we should mention that the cars are powered by the twin-turbo 3.0-litre unit, which produces as a standard 431 hp (317 kW) and 550 Nm (406 lb-ft).

    You are now asking (probably), how the +169HP and the +190Nm were achieved. And to keep you off from the boring details, you should only know that the G-Power specialists have used their bespoke Bi-Tronik 2 V3 module. Also helping to increase the force are the larger diameter exhaust downpipes, which come without catalytic converters. The addition of the ultra-lightweight titanium exhaust system with carbon-fibre tailpipe ends also reduce the back-pressure.

    How does this dramatic increase of power affect the performances of the M3 and M4? In terms of acceleration, the benchmark 0-100 km/h sprint is slashed to just 3.7 seconds. In other words, this is 0.5 seconds faster than stock. The top speed was unleashed via recalibration and now reaches over 320 km/h.

    Chassis balance was also on the “to do list”, hence the fully adjustable GM4-RS coil-over suspension was added. The aero components couldn’t be avoided too, so here we see RS front spoiler, CS front splitter, rear diffuser and boot mounted spoiler. The latter only comes for the M4 Coupe.

    Last but not least, a set of G-Power HURRICANE RR lightweight forged alloys, sized 21-inches and shod with high performance tires, fill out the big arches and complete the menacing new appearance of both BMWs.

  • Iconic 1957 BMW 507 makes exclusive comeback at Goodwood

    1957 BMW 507 front view1957 BMW 507 sports car, which is undoubtedly one of the most exclusive rarities and collectibles out there, is going to open this year’s Goodwood Festival of Speed. The founder of the event, Lord March, will drive the one-off model up the 1.16-mile hillclimb course on June 23. As a matter of fact, BMW is Honoured Marque at Goodwood this year making it a central theme of the festival. Of course, this has to do with German manufacturer’s centenary.

    Commenting on the special participation of the brand, Lord March said that as a founder he’s delighted to celebrate the centenary of the Bavarian brand in this magnificent way. To make this even more exclusive, there will be a central feature sculpture outside Goodwood House, which will too mark BMW’s sporting success.

    Being one of the rarest and most beautiful BMWs out there, the 507 has actually a very tough history. The model from 1957 is a result of a revision of the 507 flagship, which eventually ended up in producing only 252 units and contributing for heavy losses for BMW.

    The changes that were made aimed at bringing more rear cabin space, namely the valence was reduced and the size of the fuel tank shrank from 120 to 65 liters. However, a beneficial change was the increase of output of the 3.2-litre V8-engine, which became 150 hp from 140 hp. The torque was 222 Newton meters.

    1957 BMW 507 side view

    Other minor cosmetic changes were introduced, but unfortunately the production of the model lasted only two years, resulting in 252 units and a lot of money lost for BMW. Exported in the United States, the car seemed to be too expensive for regular customers. So it is no surprise that Hollywood starts like Frank Sinatra and Elvis Presley were the chosen ones driving it.

    Another interesting fact about this car is that when it was enetering the market in 1957 it was priced at around $8,988. Given the rarity of the model means that the example Lord March will drive up the hill is estimated to be worth around more than $2 million.

    1957 BMW 507 and Lord March will enter the annual event of Goodwood, running up the 1.16-mile hillclimb at the start of the Moving Motor Show, at 9am on Thursday, June 23. So make sure to be there if you are in the vicinity.

  • BMW M2 making it to 410HP and 630 Nm thanks to EVOX upgrade

    Alpha-N Performance BMW M2 front and side viewBMW M2 will most surely make it one day to a BMW classic. It has been regarded lately as the perfect sports car that offers enjoyable and fun ride at the amount of around $50,000USD. And it is exactly what BMW stood for back in the days: making two-door models that were offering unique ride. Just remember the original M3.

    Being the newest addition to the M lineup, the BMW M2 Coupe seems to slowly become the epitaph of Bavarian company’s high performance DNA. It continues to push the limits even further – delivering a perfected formula of chassis balance, steering response, and power-to-weight ratio. In other words: everything that makes BMW the Ultimate Driving Machine.

    SEE ALSO: BMW 1 Series M Coupe has Gained an Addition of 224 HP. See the Result! 

    Another benefit of the BMW’s new M2 Coupe is that it is anything but underpowered. The 370 hp (272 kW) and 500 Nm (369 lb-ft) of torque are coming from the TwinPower Turbo 3.0-liter engine, which also helps the car sprint to 100 km/h from standstill in just 4.1 seconds.

    Alpha-N Performance BMW M2 rear view

    The 370hp and 500Nm are obviously not enough fro the Alpha-N Performance tuning studio and for this reason the specialists have prepared EVOX performance upgrades for BMW M2, which unleashes the latent potential in this engine.

    There are two upgrade stages offered. The EVOX Stage 1 conversion boosts power and torque to 395 hp (290 kW) and 610 Nm (450 lb-ft) of torque; while the Stage 2 maximizes these numbers to 410 hp (301 kW) and 630 Nm (465 lb-ft). Wonder how much faster the M2 now accelerates after the Stage 2. Any suggestions? And by the way, you should also pay attention to the new wheels fitted on the here presented BMW that come in beautiful gold finish.

As mentioned there are three new petrol units developing from 184 hp (135 kW) to 326 hp (240 kW), while the five new diesel variants produce 150 hp (110 kW) and 313 hp (230 kW). All come with the classical rear-wheel drive or BMW xDrive all-wheel drive, with six-speed manual or eight-speed Steptronic automatic transmission.

    SEE ALSO: What happens when you power your BMW M2 with M4’s engine? 

    The efficiency gains have been raised and the CO2 fumes are lowered considerably, says BMW. The numbers show improvements from 4.5 per cent in the BMW 318d Gran Turismo to 13,8 per cent for the BMW 320d Gran Turismo.

    Exterior & Interior Updates

    2017 BMW 3 Series Gran Turismo front view

    The first noticeable change is that the 2017 BMW 3 Series Gran Turismo is around 200 millimetres longer than the other members of the BMW 3 Series family. It also seems that the front and the rear have been made more dynamic and sportier. The front for instance gets new standard-fitted LED headlights and foglamps, as the rear features updated LEDs too.

    The interior offers sophistication with its abundantly treated cabin, including additional chrome around the interior controls, new decorative wood elements, and more colours and leather trim variants. Inside is also more spacious, because of a wheelbase lengthened by 110 millimetres (now 2,920 millimetres). At the back, the boot offers 520 to 1,600 litres of load space.

    The latest BMW Navigation system Professional will be offered as an option here. It benefits from more intuitive menu and it is easier for operation. Added convenience is now delivered for the smartphones, which can now also be charged and connected to the car’s external aerial wirelessly via an inductive tray.

    Three Equipment Lines

    If we have already convinced you to buy the new 2017 BMW 3 Series Gran Turismo, then you should also know that there is another choice to make. And it is the trim level. You can choose between Sport Line, Luxury Line and M Sport variants. Of course the latter comes in Estoril Blue shade, exclusively (the car featured in the gallery below).

    There is a lot to be happy about the new 3 Series GT, isn’t it?

  • What happens when you power your BMW M2 with M4’s engine?

    dAHLer BMW M2 Coupe front viewHave you ever dreamt of substituting the ultimate BMW M2 Coupe’s engine with a larger one? For example with the one used by the M4 model. What would happen? Well, we can stop imagining and see the results of the specialists at the tuning studio at dÄHLer, who have made exactly this.

    The Performance Details & More …

    Basically, the skillful Swiss BMW individualization company has fitted and installed the M4-engine into the M2 Coupe, and then updated the in-line six-cylinder M TwinPowerTurbo (S55) with 2.979 cubic capacity. The result: 540 HP (397 kW) and 989 Nm (730 ft-lb) of torque reached between 2,900 and 4,900 rpm; 0-100 km/h acceleration sprint in under 4 seconds; and a top speed of 320 km/h.

    SEE ALSO: dÄHLer Releases BMW M235i Cabriolet with 390HP

    But is there anything else done here? Yes. The agility of the car has been increased even more via coil-over suspension system, which was in-house made. It serves in terms of lowering, 18th level rebound and compression stage. In addition, dÄHLer has installed their well-proven 8-pistons-high-performance-brake-system, which features massive 400 millimeter brake discs. At the very end of the car we see a brand new stainless steel exhaust system, which was also built by the tuning company.

    Anything New Around the Exterior & Interior Design?

    dAHLer BMW M2 Coupe rear view

    As you can see nothing much seems to be changed in terms of exterior appearance here. It looks like that the M2 is very close to the original series. However the aerodynamic, and in particular the contact pressure of the front axle, benefits from the modest and efficient front spoiler lip. An installation of a rear wing is optional. We have to also mention the dÄHLer CDC1 wheel, sized at 20-inches.

    It is not much, but it is still impressive, isn’t it? After all: the devil is in the details.

  • BMW shows how to make a contemporary car truly rare with the i8 Celebration Edition

    BMW i8 Celebration Edition side viewThis BMW i8 is so special that we will never see it. Unless we are among those 20, who will buy it… from Japan, because the limited anniversary model is intended only for this country. The idea behind the i8 Celebration Edition is to celebrate in the most exclusive way the 100th anniversary of the Bavarian company. Carrying exclusive paint scheme, one-off interior and produced in strictly limited numbers, this machine does not need any additional individualization. Here is why.

    Starting-off with the exterior, it surely makes an impression, that we have seen somewhere else this paint scheme. And we are 100% correct. The shade used for this i8 is called Protonic Red, while the accents are in Frozen Gray Metallic. The same combination was revealed back in February and debuted in Geneva a month later. See the link below if you don’t believe.

    SEE ALSO: BMW to Produce Limited Series of i8 Protonic Red Edition 

    Other charming characteristics, which this time differentiate the car from the above mentioned are the 20-inch W-spoke light-alloys in a striking bi-color combination: Aluminum matte and Orbit Grey metallic. And this is all you need to know about the exterior. After all, a BMW must stay classy.

    BMW i8 Celebration Edition interior

    Inside, the cabin features the same contrast design philosophy and includes red contrasting stitching on the seats, floor mats (which by the way come with leather piping), carbon fiber accents and ceramic details on the gearshift lever.

    Just in case you wonder (because the chances of buying it are very low), the i8 Celebration Edition is priced at ¥22,000,000 or around $197,945 USD.

  • X-Men: Apocalypse is here and so are the cars of your favorite characters! Check them out!

    Wolverine Driving 1988 Toyota Hilux The “X-Men: Apocalypse” is probably one of the most awaited superhero movies this year and we are all hoping it is not a huge disappointment like “Batman vs. Superman”. The premiere of blockbuster-to-be movie is happening now and the hype is extremely huge. This was probably the reason for the appearance of these interesting renderings, which show what car models would the superheroes of X-Men drive. We would love to know your opinion about them, so make sure you leave a comment below. Is there anything unexpected you see or would you offer a better car for any of the characters?

    Wolverine Driving the Nasty Toyota Hilux from 1988

    If you have thought that the Wolverine would go for anything smaller, you would be wrong. The 1988 Toyota Hilux seems the perfect car for him with its rugged appearance and go-anywhere capabilities. In fact, in this rendering it almost looks indestructible… just like the protagonist played by Hugh Jackman.

    SEE ALSO: Honda Jazz Type R, Ford Ka ST, Volkswagen up! GTi and the BMW M i3 are the craziest vehicles you’ll see this weekend!

    As you can see, this Hilux isn’t ordinary, but it has a few extra features to help Wolverine in his duties. These include huge and custom-made wheels and retractable blades, which give him the strength and ferocity to destroy the enemies.

    Magneto Driving a BMW M6 Coupe

    Magneto Driving a BMW M6 Coupe

    Any questions? Who would say anything else if this is the choice of the mighty Magneto. The character played by Michael Fassbender has chosen the beautiful maroon BMW M6 Coupe, which looks almost as stylish and sexy as he does. The slick high-speed car jumps to 100 km/h (62 mph) from rest in mere 3.9 seconds, so he will have no trouble escaping any hard situation.

    In this render, the body of the car is made from the same material as the helmet he wears, thus increasing his resistance to any incoming telepathy. In addition, he will sit behind a bulled prove glass (not that he needs it) and will ride his BMW on superior wheels.

    Mystique’s Blue Skinned BMW i8

    Mystique Driving BMW i8

    Jennifer Lawrence is playing Mystique, and her character has chosen the electric BMW i8. Made of carbon-fiber, she’s even faster, more agile and ready to make her enemies regret that they are alive. With blue scaly skin and flashing yellow headlights her i8 is almost as beautiful as she is.

    Charles Xavier Has Chosen the Tesla Model X

    Charles Xavier Driving Tesla Model X

    There is no other car than Tesla’s Model X that is perfect for Charles Xavier. James McAvoy’s character is science genius, who can not drive anything less than a vehicle made by a genius (like Elon Musk). He will also have no trouble accessing his spacious car, because of its double rear door entry. Sitting behind bullet proof windows he will manage the important duties and control the actions of the X-Men team.

    Apocalypse’s Mercedes-AMG 63 6×6

    Apocalypse Driving Mercedes-AMG 63 6x6

    Apocalypse is the longest survivor of all the X-Men and this is why the vehicle chosen for this character is the six-wheeled Mercedes-AMG 63 6×6. Each Armour panel of this machine is intricately designed in art from another age. With these exaggerated wheels, the X-Men are set to destroy or finally save the world!

    Cyclops Has Chosen the Shelby Mustang GT350R

    Cyclops Driving Shelby Mustang GT350R

    It is not a surprise that the Cyclops has chosen the Shelby Mustang GT350R because he has always been a fan of the Shelby American. This particular render envisions the GT350R with super speed and lightweight carbon fibre wheels, visor windscreen and automatic headlamps which double up as red optic blasts.

    Jean Grey’s Cute Volvo XC90

    Jean Grey Driving Volvo XC90

    Jean Grey is played by one of the Game of Thrones’ cast, Sophie Turner (playing Sansa Stark). We are sure that she will make a fantastic role in these series, too. Her Jean Grey character is envisioned in the renderings driving a cute Volvo XC90, which also has unexpected capabilities. Because of the traumatizing memory of her sister’s death caused by a car accident, she has chosen the safest of brands. In addition, her XC90 also sports bullet proof windows and an inbuilt cerebro in the windshield.
