  • B&B Automobiltechnik Shows How to Boost Performance of BMW M4/M3

    B&B Automobiltechnik BMW M4 F82 Front ViewB&B Automobiltechnik has created a special comprehensive performance package not for one but two models of the BMW M family. We are talking about the M3 (F80) and M4 (F82), and the particular illustrated example is BMW M4 Convertible. The pack is broad and features a lot of tweaks for the engine and the handing. The main goal is to boost as much as possible the performance and driving capabilities of the car.

    How to Boost Performance?

    If you have ever wondered about the ways to boost the performance of your car, here are some ideas that might be useful to you. In terms of software, B&B is offering a three-staged program, which uplifst dramatically the power and torque of the BMW TwinPower Turbo straight-six engine. As a standard the unit produces 431 hp (317 kW) and 550 Nm (406 lb-ft) of torque.

    The intermediate Stages 1 and 2 uprate these numbers to 490 hp (360 kW) and 540 hp (397 kW), respectively, while the highest one uplifts the horses to 580 hp (426 kW) and the torque to 750 Nm (555 lb-ft). All three stages feature software adaptation for the seven-speed dual-clutch transmission and removal of the top speed limiter.

    Next, additional performance boosts were achieved with modified turbochargers, higher-flow intake tract, larger exhaust downpipes, more efficient charge air cooler, and an ECU remap with revised fuel, spark and boost parameters.

    But let me impress you with more details. In Stage 3, the M3 and M4 can go from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.5 seconds, in comparison to the standard 4.6 seconds. The 0-200-km/h time is reduced from 13.4 to 11.2 seconds, while the Vmax goes over 330 km/h.

    Something you need if you add all of this inside your M4 is B&B’s thermostatically-controlled supplementary oil cooler system. It is recommended for all three engine upgrade stages, because it lowers thermal stress on the motor by reducing oil temperatures by up to 25°C.

    Handling And More…

    Boosts in performance require optimized handling. B&B offers various ways of doing it: a threaded height adjustable sport suspension kit (lowering up to 25 mm), set of sport springs (lowering up to 30 mm) and the super cool KW coil-over suspension. The latter offers ride height and damper bounce, thus substantially enhances chassis performance.

    High performance brake system was added and it comprises of 396 mm and 380 mm vented discs. At last, rounding out this tuning are the B&B 9.0 and 11.0×20-inch alloy wheels shod with 255/30R20 and 305/25R20 tires.

  • G-POWER BMW M3 Comes with Tremendous Torque Results!

    G-Power BMW M3 Engine 2015 G-POWER BMW M3 F80 can pump out 560 horsepower and 720 Newton meters of torque. The reason for this is that the famous M3 series have received in-house developed Bi-Tronik 2 V2 remap. The difference here is that unlike generic remaps, this one is customized for the original control unit in the particular vehicle on the pictures below.

    What does this mean? The BMW M3 can now actually achieve maximum all-round performance enhancement. As a matter of fact, this is the hardest way to implement such upgrade. The reason for this is that one has to crack the factory 128-bit encryption first.

    The experts at G-POWER had obviously no hindrances in applying this method, because they have achieved great results. In addition, to prove that everything runs smoothly, they have made extensive test runs on the dyno and real world testing on the autobahns and country roads. The end effect is visible via the improved performance and outstanding drivability of the Bi-Tronik 2 V2 conversion.

    Furthermore this G-POWEER BMW M3 also received some additional tuning improvements which support the Bi-Tronik 2 V2 package and perfectly complement it. Precisely, the tuners installed downpipes that substantially reduce the exhaust back pressure.

    In fact, the in-house made titanium exhaust system features four 90-millimeter tailpipes, but future customers can opt for titanium or carbon ones. It also includes a sound flap in the rear silencer with remote control regulation. Because of the lightweight materials, car’s weight dropped by up to 7.1 kg.

    Having a reduced unsprung mass means only a need of handling improvement. Hence, G-POWER added to this BMW M3 21-inch HURRICANE RR alloys and fitted them with 245/30ZR21 and 295/25ZR21 Michelin tires.

    The wheels are actually made of ultra-light aircraft-grade aluminium. They are available in Jet Black, Gun Metal Grey and Stardust Silver, and in this case come in the aforementioned grey color.

    The output of this car is now 560 hp (412 Nm) strong at 6,500 rpm and can generate 720 Nm (531 lb-ft) of optimum torque at 4,500 rpm. This means additional 129 hp (95 kW) and 170 Nm (125 lb-ft).

    This enhancement catapults the Bavarian super car to 100km/h from a standing start in just 3.8 seconds. The Vmax have been released from its factory limitation and now reaches 310km/h.

  • 2014 BMW M3 sedan [render] – F80

    Wildspeed has released a new version of the 2014 BMW M3 F80. The sports saloon features an aggressive design influenced by the more recent offerings by the M Division – the new M5 F10 and M6.There are a lot of rumors that the new M3 will come with a twin-turbo V6, which will ruin a lot of the car’s reputation, so probably the manufacturer will keep the tradition with an in-line six-cylinder power plant. The power will be around 435HP and 550Nm of torque, which will make it the most powerful M3 model.Other rumors say that the M3 saloon will remain unchanged, but the coupe and convertible body styles will be relabeled as the M4. This is not so important, but it will be good, if BMW AG divide the models.The new M3 saloon is expected to hit the market during the next year.
