  1. F22/F23: A 4-cylinder 2 liter engine would have to be...

    A 4-cylinder 2 liter engine would have to be fully forged (including pistons) to be M-reliable at 300+ hp, like the CLA 45 AMG engine which is forged (there was an article a few weeks back). So it...
  2. F22/F23: This is my new favorite contemporary design from...

    This is my new favorite contemporary design from BMW, short of the M6 and M6 Gran Coupe. It looks great, better than the F30 and I suspect better than the new 4-series coupe too (because that shares...
  3. F12/F13: M-Sport does not have aything to do with the M...

    M-Sport does not have aything to do with the M brand, and never had...all the cars in BMW lineup have the option of M-Sport package. This particular offering adds an exclusive optional paint to the...

    Where is the video ? and was the C63 stock ? It would mean the C63 AMG would beat a 545hp Nissan GTR pretty bad...which I am not sure is the case.

    I suppose we are starting to see this kind of videos every day...until people get used to the fact that the new M5/M6's are no joke...:)

    The 560hp engine from the F10/F13 seems to be underrated, like the dynos show. It was about time for BMW M to also be fast in a straight line and not only in corners :)
  7. BMW deserves the criticism for their heavy cars....

    BMW deserves the criticism for their heavy cars. However, the M6 cabrio is hardly a car to judge BMW M against. It's heavier because it's way larger, look at the rear seat space ratings, all the...

    30k+ is their set price, not the true value of the kit. The true value is probably 10 times lower.
  9. S54: I think that the theft was only part of the...

    I think that the theft was only part of the problem. From what I noticed over time reading about them, they basically failed to innovate on the new platforms and the e46 M3 platform was declining as...

    And yet the F10 M5 is 1 second faster on the Nurburgring than the Panamera Turbo with AWD, 15 seconds faster than the E63 AMG Performance Package, is 10 second faster on the Nurburgring than the e92...
  11. This is great news to me. It means that the...

    This is great news to me. It means that the production engines are so good that they are worthy of an M designation (after a few tweaks). The S65 was a torque-less, old technology, faint-sounding,...

    I would say this is a godsend for BMS as well. Their customers will not need to shell out almost double the price of the JB4 in order to be able to install their backend flash.

    But of course,...

    Wow, finally a BMW V8 that sounds like a proper V8 :)

    Unfortunately, Vargas adopted the same misleading tactics with their latest stretched 725whp dynos. As much as I don't like piggybacks I have to admit that Vishnu is one of the most copied tuners...:)

    He didn't mention your product as the one from which they took some inspiration, maybe they used other tools like Dimsport, who knows.

    My hope is that via this open source project someday we will...
  16. California: Nitto NT05R (285/40/18) and NT555R (285/35/18 and...

    Nitto NT05R (285/40/18) and NT555R (285/35/18 and 285/40/18) are very good drag tires, especially the NT05R.
  17. F22/F23: Because the M235i is a 235i with M-Sport package...

    Because the M235i is a 235i with M-Sport package and a 15hp Power Kit. Not a real M. Probably for marketing reasons they decided to put a larger gap between the regular 2-series and the "M" 2-series,...

    Isn't it obvious that tuning solutions with unlimited flow (for the power range) turbos will dyno the same numbers ? This race will probably end up in breaking some rods. I'm sad to see that no one...

    He's just trying to downplay the greatness of the N54 engine...don't worry, it's not personal, it's for anyone trying to compare the N54 with the best stock engines out there :)

    Look at the M3 driver's eyes during the movie...he is like "wtf ?" :)

    When you will see low 10s all day long at the track, then the N54 will get the attention :)
  22. Well, not really. There is this equation: ...

    Well, not really. There is this equation:

    Power (hp) = (Torque(Nm) x RPM) / 5252

    So you can't keep the torque low at all RPMs and make big power.

    I have RBs and tuned the boost control myself with ATR, it was not hard at all. Here is a sample of the precision I obtained, which you can't ever get with JB4 or Procede:

    Because the torque is very low. At lower RPMs it's laughable. If you put your foot down at 2000RPM you will wait forever to pick up speed. I put the DCT in Sport and ran a short circuit. After a...
