BMW 1-Series F20 by Lumma Design

Monday, May 5, 2014

Lumma Design has recently launched a body kit for the BMW 1-Series (F20). The 1-Series is considered by many the least desirable model in BMW's lineup due to its rather awkward front fascia. Lumma Design has tried to improve the hatchback's looks by adding a front spoiler lip available for the variant without the M-Technik package. Priced at 249 EUR, the spoiler lip is easy to install and can be pre-painted upon request.
They are also providing a set of lowering springs for an additional 269 EUR which bring the 1-Series closer to the road by 35 mm. The stripe set seen in these photos costs 179 EUR and is available in a variety of colors.
Inside you can opt for anodized aluminum pedals (220 EUR) which have a non-slip surface or for velour floor mats with the tuner's logo priced at 179 EUR. As a final touch, Lumma Design can fit your 1-Series with 18-inch anthracite-polished wheels covered by 215/40 R18 tires. The wheels + tires kit costs 1,700 EUR.

BMW 1M Coupe by G-Power

Friday, October 26, 2012

The tuners at G-Power have decided to develop an upgrade program for the limited edition BMW 1M Coupe. The new exhaust system is 20 percent lighter than the standard one because it’s made from titanium, and it also comes with four carbon or titanium tailpipes. Other changes include the flow-optimized downpipes for lowering exhaust gas temperature, a bigger capacity for the boost cooling system, along with a new engine software.
Thanks to these modifications, the output of the engine has increased from the standard 340 hp (253 kW / 344 PS) to 435 hp (324 kW / 441 PS). The torque figure is also up from 368 lb-ft (500 Nm) to 435 lb-ft (590 Nm). After these upgrades the BMW 1M Coupe can do the 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) sprint in 4.5 seconds, on its way to a top speed of 186 mph (300 km/h).
The vehicle rides on 20-inch G-Power Silverstone alloys with Michelin tires, while the stopping power is provided by the G-Power Braking System with up to six brake pistons and up to 396 mm brake disc diameter.

BMW 1-series by Tuningwerk

Wednesday, October 3, 2012

Don't be fooled by the racing livery on the BMW 1-Series you see before you. This is a fully street legal car and it packs a hell of a punch. Tuningwerk who reside just around the corner from the Bavarian auto maker has upgraded the 3.0-liter engine to generate a total of 521hp (388kW / 528PS) and 614Nm (453lb-ft) of torque. We are told it will enable a top speed in excess of 300kph (186mph). The tuning modifications include a titanic exhaust system and it also incorporates an upgraded cooling system. The body is treated to a GT4 front lip, engine hood, boot lid and rear spoiler that are all made from carbon fiber. The Recaro PolePosition bucket seats are made from the same lightweight material and contribute to the extreme weight loss. The tuner also adds a set of 19-inch rims that are wrapped by Dunlop Sport Maxx tires and behind them are upgraded 370mm or 380mm carbon ceramic brake discs. The final model is said to be ready to pass FIA admission regulations with only minimal changes.

Press release:

UNCOMPROMISING 1st M RS BMW with 521 HP by TUNINGWERK
The fact that the TUNINGWERK company specializes in BMW models, has geographical grounds, as Puchheim is a catchment area of Munich and probably rather the other way round. The BMW head office is situated in Munich. On the other hand, the question was only in time for the well-acknowledged BMW models that the 1st BMW M-Version would appear. TUNINGSWERK has given it no other name than the 1st M RS.
The motor, also referred to as engine, was completely modified. The transmission of the back axis was shortened up to 3.25 transmission ratios, optionally 3.45 are also possible. As a differential locking it has a suitable for the power to weight ratio Drexler lock. The cooling system was completely modified, including the second oil cooler. The model has a titanic exhaust system. The engine clutch has unconditionally optimized stability, it is well suited for the city traffic, and herewith a racing clutch is possible. But for eventually planned racing some further small modifications for the FIA admission are needed, such as the expansion of the case. There is still much potential in further weight reduction, while the door trims and insulation material is in the original state. GT4 front lip, engine hood, boot lid and also rear spoiler and Recaro seats called PolePosition are made of carbon. It is possible to install doors out of the same material and plastic side glass, however with the full case. The 3-x club sport lorry running gear can be combined with H&R lightweight stabilizers upon request.
The important connection between the vehicle and the road in this case is provided by the forged ATS superlight 9x19 inches rims on the front and 10x19 inches rims - on the back. Additionally, the vehicle is equipped with 245/35R19 Dunlop blow-up „Sport Maxx" tyres on the front axis and 285/30R19 ones - on the rear axis. As an alternative, there are also FlowForming Crosslight ATS rims of the same size. The car has installed steel breaking system with discs 370 mm in diameter by Mov'it to take care of the perfect stop, where the 380 carbon ceramic discs are also possible.
Due to this balanced mix of tuning means, the TUNINGWERK succeeded in creating the driving dynamics of an outstanding quality. The six three-liter cylinders with 521 hp or 388 kW enable 614 Nm maximal torque from 2,800 rpm and maximal speed of 300 km/h (depending on the type of tyres!) This 1st M RS BMW by TUNINGWERK is undoubtedly a perfect compromise between the street and the race track.
The car tuning costs including vehicle: 119.000 Euro!
