BMW’s performance pair gets serious.
The BMW M3 and M4 might have two different names, but are very similar visually and beneath their skin. That’s why the team at G-Power was able to develop two almost identical tuning packages for both sports cars that make them into a 1,200-horsepower pair.
G-Power started with the twin-turbocharged 3.0-lliter inline-six cylinders in the BMW M3 and M4. Here, the force-fed motor was equipped with larger and lighter turbine wheels and larger compressor wheels that improve throttle response, and are sitting inside CNC-machined flow-optimized housings. The exhaust gas flow is further optimized on the German sports cars thanks to bigger downpipes without catalytic converters (export only), paired with a lightweight titanium exhaust with carbon fiber encased tailpipes.
G-Power then gave the BMW M3 and M4 their Bi-Tronik 2 V3 module with customized control parameters that pushes output to 600 horsepower at 6,500 RPM and 576 lb-ft. of torque from 4,000 to 5,500 RPM. That’s enough to send it to 62 mph from rest in just 3.7 seconds and reach a top speed over 199 mph.
While the two wünder twins are hunting super cars at triple-digit speeds, G-Power’s chassis upgrades are securing them to the asphalt. The in-house GM4-RS coilover suspension gives drivers the ability to adjust bound, rebound, and ride height for the perfect setup for any given situation. Leaving their mark on the pavement are 245/30 R21 and 295/25 R21 high-performance tires on black-finished G-Power Hurricane RR lightweight forged wheels that measure 9.0 x 21 up front and 10.5 x 21 at the rear.
A custom, motorsport-inspired carbon fiber aerodynamic kit also gives the BMW M3 and M4 some serious downforce. The front fascia is dominated by a new RS spoiler and CS splitter that reduces lift and improves cooling. At the rear, new G-Power CS diffusers are installed and integrate the new titanium exhaust while the BMW M4 can be outfitted with a CS spoiler to keep that butt planted on the road.
Both G-Power upgrade programs are currently available for both the F80 BMW M3 and F82 BMW M4 as a complete package or individual accessories.
