G-POWER showcases yet another M2 project

2018 G-POWER BMW M2 F87 Recently, BMW has showcased the latest M2 machine with a total of 410hp and additional features that move it closer to its bigger sibling, the M4. However, the bad news is that people have to wait more until the vehicle can be ordered. But the good news is that the nice people at G-POWER in Aresing, Upper Bavaria have already come up with an alternative. Let’s check it out!

2018 G-POWER BMW M2 F87

The well-known tuner has always aimed to make the M2 lineup even more appealing and for the 35 years we must admit that the studio has been showing some of the most advanced and fine projects we have ever seen. For this particular machine, G-POWER team has decided to take a closer look at the turbocharged N55 inline six-cylinder power unit and add some kick to the overall output. This results on a total of 370hp and 500Nm in the overboost mode. Furthermore, the team has geared the M2 with exclusive software and hardware mechanics that aid the exhaust conduction downpipe and the intercooler.

Also, to go along with all these goodies, engineers have added a titanium G-POWER exhaust with dual mode valve system and four carbon-fiber tailpipes, each measured at 90 millimeters in diameter. These, in combination with exclusive G-POWER G2M RS coilovers make not only an aggressive sound, but also contribute to more dynamic and precise handling. Enjoy!

MANHART team presents the MH4 550: a thunder in red and white!

2018 MANHART BMW MH550 MANHART Performance has finally made a step forward. As you might remember, the tuning team has already revealed an impressive MH4 550, based on the BMW M4 F82 and now the time is right to showcase its latest project: MH4 550. Taking technology and refinement even further, we do witnes a rather incredible machine.

2018 MANHART BMW MH550

We will get straightforward to the drivetrain system. To be honest, the power unit is not that different from the predecessor model: a 3.0-liter S55 Biturbo with additional 119hp and comprehensive software remapping. This means that the MH4 produces the massive 550hp and 82Nm of torue. Sweet, right?

2018 MANHART BMW MH550

Furthermore, MH4 benefits from new and exclusive exhaust system with catless downpipe, new MANHART muffler and a KW variant 3 coilover suspension. This system allows the vehicle to be lowered as possible and at the same time ensures stability and confidence even in the most challenging turns and track curves.

In terms of exterior styling, MANHART has also scored points. The white body is elegantly enhanced by familiar bright red stripes and red M-Performance wheels. Also, both front spoiler and rear diffuser are made of glossy carbon and resemble the new carbon-fiber mirror caps. Furthermore, MANHART has included a massive carbon-fiber rear spoiler and super-cool read side blades. Neat!

2018 MANHART BMW MH550

Of course, in MANHART manner, the interior won’t let anyone down either. The red roll cage is placed where the rear seats once were and resemble the exterior color scheme. Of course, there is no clue form the original front seats – they are replaced by Recaro bucket seats and wrapped in red leather. There is also a special M-Performance alcantara steering wheel with shift indicators and carbon covers. Sweet, isn’t it?

Wetterauer showcases a fine-tuned M4 machine. Check it out!

2018 Wetterauer BMW M4 Wetterauer and BMW have a lot in common. Throughout the course of time both brands have crossed paths and have presented us unique projects. And now we are eager to showcase the last one revealed: the WP620. The original M4, a favorite to the tuners since its launch, has undergone impressive visual and technical upgrades and demonstrate how there can be a rather impressive symbiosis between tuner and a stock machine.

2018 Wetterauer BMW M4

As far drivetrain system is what makes the entire M4 lineup stand out is the plenty of power (quite obviously) and the capability of making us feel just awesome in such a vehicle. The particular M4 that has undergone tuning surgery delivers a total of 431hp and 550Nm of torque. However, with the aid of Wetterauer team the sporty beauty has managed to expand its capabilities to a total of 620hp and 760Nm of torque. Massive, isn’t it? These number contribute to a rather fast and menacing sprint: the vehicle nails the 0-100km/h run in mere 3,6 seconds and chases a top speed of 330km/h. Also, further upgrades include exclusive Akrapovic titanium exhaust system and Wetteraurer high-performance gearbox software. Sweet.

Of course, M4 vehicles are known for one more prominent thing: looks. And more precisely, sexy looks. However, it appears that the stock design is not appealing enough for Wetterauer team. What the team has done to enhance the looks of the lucky M4 is adding a fixed rear spoiler, covering the body in neat yellow/black body paint and adding neat (and large!) 20-inch OZ Ultraeggera rims. Sweet.

2018 DTE Tuning BMW 540i With its eight-million models already sold, the 5 Series remains BMW’s most popular and most wanted vehicle in the segment. And one of the latest offspring, the 540i with its six-cylinder three-liter power engine remains one of the sexiest machines at the moment.

However, DTE Systems team has decided to make the 540i even more powerful and agile. The engineers have installed a so-called tuning box PowerControl X that connects to the central sensors of the engine management and adds a neat kick of additional 57hp and 80Nm of torque. Sweet, isn’t it?

Now let’s talk about the performance rates, shall we? The 540i reaches 100km/h in about 5 seconds and with the AWD system engaged – 4.8 seconds. Not bad, if you ask us. Furthermore, the installed PedalBox reduces the throttle response with up to 10 per cent and contributes to this unmistakable and ferocious scream.

Z-Performance showcases its own idea of a Batmobile. Check it out!

2018 Z-Performance BMW X5 It is a sort of expected that Z-Performance team has decided to take a closer look at the X5 M SUV. After all we have already seen some neat tuning projects that include a large premium vehicle and tons of beautiful changes.

2018 Z-Performance BMW X5

This time the tuning studio focuses on aesthetics. And it has done some pretty good job. First of all, the revised machine catches the eye with neat ZP.FORGED 12 deep-lip multi-piece wheels with matte black and glossy black finish. These are wrapped by large 10.5×22 Pirelli Scorpion Zero 285/30R22 tires. Starts good, right? Just let us continue reviewing.

2018 Z-Performance BMW X5

As it seems, Z-Performance team wants to make a sort of a Batmobile out of the X5 monster, and believe us, they are pretty close to achieving such a goal. The body is covered in deep black Avery wrapping film that does not contrast in any kind with the front carbon-fiber front spoiler lip, nor with the rear carbon diffuser that is especially delivered by RKP Composite studio. There are also carbon side mirror covers, glossy black front grille and tinted lights.

When you think about it, BMW vehicles are almost perfect for creating a Batmobile. They are aggressively looking, bold in style and do not lack drivetrain power or engineering technology of any kind. And talking about mechanics, we should also mention that the revised X5 SUV features an upgraded engine that is capable of delivering a total of 750hp and the titanic 1000Nm of torque! How incredible is that! Further goodies include carbon-fiber tailpipe tri and valve control, exclusively created by FI Exhaust.

The second thing that people would instantly recognize is the wide carbon-fiber wide body kit.

There is a full rollover cage, sound insulation material and of course all these well-known features: sporty seats, dedicated dashboard and special wheel. In fact, the most interesting part about the interior is that it is entirely dominated by special Alcantara leather. It is literally everywhere: on the roof, dashboard, steering wheel. Nice, isn’t it?

Drivetrain system

2017 G-POWER BMW M3 GT2 S HURRICANE

Now we are talking! The heart of the beast is a mighty V8 engine that was further heavily revised. In fact, it was completely disassembled and enforced with lightwegit forged components that not only reduce the overall wegith, but also contribute to even more power and better performance ratings. It generates a total of 720hp (529kW) and 650Nm of torque. Or, in other words, this machine is capable of finishing a 0-200km/h sprint in mere 9.8 seconds and develop a top speed of 330km/h. Neat!
