LIGHTWEIGHT – Automobiles Review

Lightweight team showcases one more BMW M2 project

2018 Lightweight BMW M2 LW Lightweight studio showcases new product for its 2018 portfolio. We do like these guys for their devotion in small details and making upgrades that do not change the original concept, but just built on it. After the success of the LW M2 CSR, geared with M4 GTS components, its successor comes with solely M2 technique – LW M2 comes with more stylish approach and more technological features. Let’s find out more!

Visually it resembles 100 per cent an original BMW vehicle, however there are some neat additions. For example, it is named Hillary and features neat sporty exterior design. There are numerous carbon-fiber components, like the two-part front spoiler, diffuser and twin-kidney radiator grille. Other goodies include some handy solutions – there is new Blistein clubsport chassis, large 20-inch and 21-inch wheels, ABS alignment, sporty steering wheel with perforated Alcantara leather and more.

In terms of drivetrain system there is a six-cylinder power units that was further revised and features lightweight titanium construction, muffler with carbon-fiber and Lightweight 300 cell down-pipe. Sweet. It produces a total of 428hp and the massive 600Nm of torque and is paired to a 7-speed DKG gearbox. This combination allows a top speed of 300km/h and pretty confident road behavior. We like it!

Furthermore, the LW-titanium tailpipes with valve throttle control system and a 300-cell-turbo-downpipe, along with sweet GT-brake system by Brembo with 380mm discs for the front and rear wheels. Sweet.

In terms of interior styling, we can sum up all with a short sentence: simple and aggressive. Defintely appealing, the concept is straightforward: remove the unneeded and enhance the needed. The cabin is clean, functional and entirely driver-oriented. There are carbon performance seats in Alcantara fabric, LW-velour floor mats, LW-aluminum pedal set, a special display system and many carbon-fiber components.

LIGHTWEIGHT BMW X4 is Dressed to Impress

2015 LIGHTWEIGHT BMW X4

LIGHTWEIGHT tuner has set its eyes on BMW X4. Thanks to the professional team, the crossover-SUV is “dressed to impress”. The car has gained optimized and more exciting look and can now demonstrate stronger driving dynamics.

The performance improvements are done with the help of an extra control unit that guarantees 365 HP (268 kW) with a peak torque of 690 Nm. Another way is through field boost which delivers even more horses, precisely 375 HP (276 kW). Torque rates are increased to 700 Nm. Finally there is a Vmax-increase up to 280 km/h.

When we observe the tweaked BMW X4 from the outside, it looks more powerful than ever. The dark frozen gray finish makes the car look sleek, stylish and ready to rock n’ roll. In order to ensure optimal protection of this Bavarian beast, the tuning company has wrapped the car in ceramic two-component solid filling. It is applied on the discs too. The exterior is complimented by LIGHTWEIGHT-carbon fiber mirror covers, spoiler and rear apron insert. Black gloss or carbon fiber front spoiler is also part of the highlights on the outside. There is a Hartge-Classic 2-wheelset in 9.5×21. It comes with Michelin PilotSuperSport in 245/35-21 at the FA and in 10.5×21 with 265/30-21 at the RA. The wheelset is protected with four component permanent sealing. 30 mm lowering is available too thanks to the in-house suspension with Bilstein-parts.
