The current BMW M5 CS facelift is the most powerful, lightest and most expensive M5 ever. But the German tuning company G-Power has found a new way to push the limits of the Bavarian sedan even further: with a series of performance packages, of course.

The basic package is called GP-700 and increases the power of the twin-turbo V8 engine, 4.4 liters, to 700 horsepower and 850 Nm, thanks to software improvements. Then comes the GP-740 with 740 hp and 900 Nm, and the GP-780 increases with another 40 hp and 50 Nm.

In addition to the software changes, the GP-820 version also offers some hardware, which is why the power rises to 820 hp and 1,000 Nm. The top version, the GP-900, is by far the most impressive.

It includes, among other things, new turbines and a four-millimeter four-end exhaust system. These make the V8 engine develop 900 horsepower and 1,050 Nm.

Aesthetically, G-Power offers forged wheels up to 21 inches in diameter, a carbon hood and a discreet aileron.

The price of the new performance packages varies between 2,495 and 23,640 euros.

For those who don’t like how it looks, there are always solutions, and that is resorting to aftermarket shops that know the model by heart. One of them is Dinan tuner, specialized in visual and power upgrades and which is willing to change the way it looks for ever.

One such fine example is the below BMW X6 M, also customized by Dinan and wearing the magnificent Ferrar FR4 wheels. There are also some slight customizations made at the exterior – new front and rear bumpers, updated side sills, along with DInan`s special power kit under the hood.

However, the SUV`s main highlight is the new set of wheels. We are dealing here with Ferrada FR4 deep concave ten-spoke wheels which perfectly match the car`s wheel arches. They are also extremely wide, measuring 22 x 10.5 front and rear.

Under the hood, Dinan worked its magic with the M P1 Power Package, which raises the car`s power by 82 horsepower and 72 lb-ft of torque, for an overall of 716 horsepower and 720 lb-ft of torque. However, Dinan actually measured around 647 horsepower and 633 lb-ft of torque when tested the SUV. This means that the P1 Power Package shows in reality an increase of 149 horsepower and 112 lb-ft of torque.

To make a comparison, the BMW X6 M comes standard with 567 horsepower, all squeezed from a 4.4-liter BMW TwinPower Turbo engine, enabling a sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in a staggering 4.0 seconds. you can find out more details about the tuner`s new program in the impressive video and media gallery below. Enjoy!

The head-to-head video below is not an ordinary one, as it refers to the participation of two interesting vehicles: the BMW 7-Series in the M760Li guise against the new Ducati Panigale V4. At a first glimpse, it may not be a fair race, but who knows what could happen in a straight line race? We`ll find out!

Even if the odds may not favour the BMW saloon, which puts emphasis particularly on high-class luxury and not on speed, its performance is quite impressive and makes it quite a candidate for such a race.

The BMW M670Li in question uses a V12 twin-turbo engine with no less than 610 horsepower and 800 Nm of torque. The whole power is sent to all wheels via an xDrive all-wheel drive system.

The top is electronically-limited at 250 km/h, managing a sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in a staggering 3.9 seconds, and that despite its massive size.

On the other hand, the Ducati Panigale V4 is an extremely light built, weighing twelve times less than the BMW M760Li. It also outputs 211 horsepower and 124 Nm of torque, significantly less than BMW`s staggering power and torque.

However, the Ducati Panigale V4 comes with some slight advantages, which might eventually lead to faster acceleration: it is small and extremely lightweight and uses advanced electronics with launch control system, enabling thus a fast sprint from standstill.

We are not going to spoil all the fun and let you watch the video below, not until placing your bets on the car or bike. Are you ready? Steady, go!!!

The BMW 1M Coupe seen below is one of the 6,309 examples created just before the arrival of the M2 Coupe on the market, and features some aftermarket parts that increase its performance under the hood. It was also seen in Monaco a couple of days ago, revving its engine in style and turning heads all around.

This particular BMW 1M Coupe has a Swiss license plate and has been fitted with a new body kit, which is mostly distinguishable at the rear end. On top of that, it also wears an impressive body wrap and some black wheels.

The car`s main highlight is the bespoke exhaust system at the rear which increases the car`s engine soundtrack; it might also increase its stock power and torque as well. However, we do not have any details concerning the new power. However, judging by the video below, we can estimate more than the stock power. We let you decide how much it is over the factory output!

As a reminder, the BMW 1M Coupe was produced between 2004 and 2013 replacing the 3-Series Compact and becoming the company`s “smallest and least expensive vehicle in the BMW range.”

It also came with four body styles, such as: 3-door hatchback (E81 model), 5-door hatchback (E87 model), 2-door coupe (E82 model) and 2-door convertible (E88 model). The 3- and 5-door hatchbacks were later on replaced by the F20 and F21 in 2012, while the E82 Coupe and E88 Convertible were replaced by the 2-Series F22 and F23, starting with 2013.

As for engine lineup, the BMW 1M Coupe came with both naturally aspirated and turbocharged engines, with four-cylinder diesel and four- and six-cylinder petrol configurations.

The below BMW 1M Coupe is equipped with the famous 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged six-cylinder engine, developing 335 horsepower and 450 Nm of torque, enabling a sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in just 4.9 seconds, at a topping of 250 km/h.

On special occasion like this one here, the BMW M4 CS was seen in some pretty interesting yet odd drag races against different types of sports cars, way too faster and powerful.

A recent review put the BMW M4 CS alongside the new Porsche 911 GTS, the whole act being showcased in the video below.

In fact, from where I stand, there is no way that the BMW M4 CS might get near the new 911 GTS, despite the fact that it is more expensive than the latter. However, some people might considered the price well-justified, given the car`s success on the market and impressive performance figures.

If we were to watch the video comparison below released by Head2Head, with Johnny Lieberman and Jethro Bovingdon from Motor Trend taking both models out for a spin on the Autobahn and at the Nurburgring, and fully-tested their outmost driving and power capabilities, we would surely give all the credits to the Porsche 911 GTS.

In order to make a clue about which would be our winner, we should make a comparison of both car`s performance and torque figures.

Starting with the BMW M4 CS, the model features the well-known 3.0-liter twin-turbo inline six-cylinder engine, now capable of 454 horsepower and impressive 600 Nm of torque. That makes it 29 horsepower and 50 Nm of torque more than the standard M4 and 10 horsepower and 50 Nm of torque more than the M4 Competition Package as well. The sprint from 0 to 100 km/h is also 0.3 seconds quicker than the Competition Package, meaning 3.9 seconds.

On the other hand, the new Porsche 911 GTS comes with a new engine compared to last year`s model. The company has ditched the 3.8-liter six-cylinder naturally-aspirated engine in favour of a 3.0-liter straight-six pot, developing 450 horsepower and 550 Nm of torque. This particular ride takes just 3.6 seconds to reach 100 km/h.

You can find out in the video which one is the rightful winner of the drive test below!

The latter one is perhaps the division`s favourite subject, as it comes with an incredibly aggressive design and crazy attitude, and these attributes make a car ready for some serious and insane visual transformations.

The below Rolls-Royce Dawn by Spofec is keeping the headlines of auto publications worldwide, as it represents one of the best bespoke treatments ever carried out so far. The project involves a massive carbon fiber kit at the exterior called “Overdose” and a more luxurious interior. The tuner`s entire creation has been also immortalized in the video below.

The first striking thing about this Rolls-Royce Dawn is the new set of 22-inch Spofec SP1 alloy wheels with recalibrated suspension which lowers its ride up to a point it becomes extremely stable at speeds of over 140 km/h.

Besides the new and massive wheels, the Rolls-Royce Dawn by Spofec features the “Overdose” carbon fiber aero kit created by Vittorio Strosek, an important German designer. The most important highlights refer to new front wings and flared rear arches, side skirts, rear bumpers with wide intakes, and rear carbon fiber wing.

As for the car`s engine, the Rolls-Royce Dawn retains the same massive V12 engine with whopping 686 horsepower and 980 Nm of torque, enabling a sprint from 0 to 100 km/h sprint in 4.6 seconds.

As for new interior details, the Spofec`s Rolls-Royce Dawn also features some special leather and contrast stitching that perfectly complements the exterior.

The Rolls-Royce Dawn “Overdose” is beautifully described in the video below released by Novitec Group. Enjoy the ride and don’t forget to share your opinions with us!

The aftermarket customizations are usually the same for all BMW products, and offer a variety of visual upgrades and performance enhances.

However, BMW`s own M division also creates outstanding tuning programs on its models, including the new 2018 MW M5. In this case, we are dealing with the M Performance variant, now enhanced with M Performance Titanium exhaust which delivers a more impressive engine sound effect. You can admire it in the video below.

So, you lucky guys out there grabbing an M5 with M goodies,make sure you include an M Performance Titanium exhaust to your M list, to squeeze the best out of that monster.

Speaking of monster, the 2017 BMW M5 comes with a 4.4-liter V8 engine, which now develops 600 PS and 750 Nm of torque. The power is sent to all four corners via a high-performance eight-speed automatic transmission, enabling a sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in no less than 3.4 seconds. The 0 to 200 km/h sprint is done in an impressive 11.1 seconds. Both performances are achieved at a top speed of 305 km/h.

It is just what happened at the Papenburg high-speed oval where well-known German tuners, including Hamann, speeded-out their newly customized BMWs.

German technicians from Hamann presented their new BMW M4, the gorgeous coupe coming with a new aero kit and impressive performance. What really makes this model special is its ability of reaching amazing top speeds on short distances. Well, not that short.

The BMW M4 presented in the video below by Hamann itself was able to reach a staggering 306.4 km/h in just three kilometers, with the stock 250 km/h top speed being achieved in one kilometer. To create such amazing records, such a model has to be thoroughly customized both at the exterior as well as under the hood.

To create more downforce and achieve greater stability on the track at such incredible speeds, Hamann technicians have added a special aerodynamic package and extremely lightweight 20-inch alloy wheels wrapped in Continental tires, which are able to withstand speeds up to 340 km/h, so the aforementioned speed is just a fraction of what the car could really achieve.

The car`s performance has also been updated. We are dealing here with 517 horsepower and impressive 700 Nm of torque, quite impressive than the stock 431 horsepower and 550 Nm of torque, squeezed out from the same 3.0-liter straight-six inline engine.

Should you happen to own such an impressive ride and want to achieve absolutely amazing top speeds, then our suggestion would be going for bespoke customizations at Hamann`s shop. You can find more info in the video below released on YouTube by Hamann! Enjoy and don’t forget to share your impressions with us!

The video below presents another drag race between two modified cars: one is the notorious BMW M4, an extremely fast sports coupe, and the gorgeous Audi RS6 Avant, that perfect family car that everybody wants.

There are plenty of particularities that set both cars apart. The BMW M4 Coupe is specifically built for the track use, coming with advanced mechanical characteristics and aerodynamics, while the RS6 Avant was built for young families with plenty of kids. However, the latter one comes with plenty of power and performance figure in stock mode.

To start with the BMW M4, the model comes with a 3.0-liter inline six TwinPower Turbo engine, with 431 horsepower and 550 Nm of torque, equipped as well with DCT and Launch Control, and allowing a sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in just 4.1 seconds. However, this particular model has been customized to deliver 490 horsepower.

On the other hand, the Audi RS6 Avant packs 560 horsepower and 700 Nm of torque, with a sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in an amazing 3.7 seconds, and that despite its massive weight of 1,935 kg. In this case, our RS6 Avant packs no less than 750 horsepower.

To conclude with, we have two heavily modified cars, a coupe going against a wagon model, with the first one coming with rear-wheel drive system and the latter one packing monstrous stock power, despite its massive weight. We also have a DCT gearbox and Launch Control against a seven-speed automatic.

Well, if you are a bit confused and can`t figure it out which car wins the drag race, then just push the play button of the video below and see for yourself which one is the real winner!

Well-known journalist and BMW connoisseur Matt Farrah, has taken the 1988 E30 BMW M3 out for a spin to demonstrate that this old lad still has what it takes to do some serious damage on the track.

And the burn out video is showing what it can do in a stock form. Well, not entirely stock, the model coming with some improvements at the driving system. Performance wise, the model remains pretty much stock.

The car`s new improvements refer to the exterior. They were necessary in order to increase its aggressive look and air flow, especially in tight corners or at high speeds. The new styling changes refer to the EVO III splitter at the front and rear, along with brake ducts.

Besides the mint condition at the exterior, the 1988 E30 BMW M3 also comes, despite its age, with just 82,000 miles onboard, meaning that the engine is still delivering some serious punch, no matter what we think about its usage on the road.

The car`s S14 engine demonstrates that the ’88 E30 BMW M3 could still keep up with today`s much more evolved and “gifted” BMW models; at least for a short period of time!

The last time we saw an E30 BMW M3 exposing its good looks was back in April, when Harry Matcalfe, the original founder of EVO auto magazine, “exposed” his gorgeous 1989 M3 Roberto Ravaglia Edition. In a video, he highlights the car`s Navaro Silver Metallic colour scheme and grey interior, as well as the history of the E30 BMW M3.

You can admire the pristine 1988 E30 BMW M3 while is out for a spin, in the video below. Enjoy and don’t forget to share your opinions with us!
