BMW 1M Raze P450 RevoZport

Tuning and modding company RevoZport reveals their 1M Raze P450, a project based on the BMW 1-Series M Coupe co-developed with CP Engineering.

The RevoZport 1M Raze is focused on the enhancement of the already stellar BMW 1 Series M, further improving its power-to-weight ratio and aerodynamic efficiency. All products are designed on the premise that form should follow function. Weight reduction is the main priority with a total weight reduction of 60kg achieved through the extensive use of carbon composite fiber products.

The exterior weight reduction treatment includes a lightweight bonnet, front splitter, front splitter brake duct kit, side skirts, lightweight trunk, trunk lip spoiler, GT spoiler with mount, roof spoiler, lightweight roof panel, rear diffuser, front grill, mirror covers and front & rear interior door cards.

To increase performance, the US tuner offers intake cone filters, a front mounted intercooler, BOV charge pipe, downpipes, ECU tuning with standback and plug and play harness. The titanium exhaust is made with TP340C Titanium from Japan and weighs only 7kg. Official power figures are yet to be released, but we expect a power upgrade significantly above the 400 hp mark.

BMW Z4 E85 Roadster

German tuner, G-Power, famous for their incredible power upgrades offered to several BMW models, releases a new power kit for the previous generation BMW Z4 E85. The “SK Plus” compressor system brings out 286 horsepower from its original 231 horsepower.

Press Release: The BMW Z4 Roadster represents the first generation are still outstanding driving enjoyment – whether friend or Used as an attractive long-cherished. Some drivers like the 231 horsepower range of 2002 to 2005 built BMW Z4 3.0i (E85) and days do not need more traction. G-Power thought of the older athletes and developed the “SK Plus” compressor system from the old model brings out 286 hp and thus increases the performance significantly. Cost point for the installation made compressor system: € 2975.

Popular is the 3.0-liter six-cylinder was even then. Undoubtedly provided an M version cost significantly more power, but also to maintain far more money. The heart of the charge is an ASA compressor. An optimized geometry of the compressor and its housing, enable a more efficient structure of the previous charge pressure and thus ensure a more powerful performance at medium speed range.

Fully achieved turned out the “G-Power Plus SK” compressor system with a boost of only 0.3 bar a power increase of up to 55 bhp over the series. The 3.0-liter engine of the BMW Z4 3.0si, the maximum power thus increases to around 286 hp at 6,000 rpm. The maximum torque is now 345 Nm, which rest at 3,500 rpm (series 300 Nm).

Completed with the new power of the enhanced BMW Z4 3.0i can accelerate from 0 to 100 in just 5.4 seconds. The series needed for this discipline took 5.9 seconds and 250 km/h fast. As G-Power BMW Z4 3.0i is even stronger and faster than the engine in the BMW Z4 3.0si successor, brought it to 265 hp and 5.7 seconds for the sprint to 100 mph.

More important than the raw numbers for the customer but the power delivery, meaning the way in which the extra capacity is given. The compressor system of G-Power will offer a sporty direct throttle response. Each accelerator command, the tuner implemented without delay in advance, without taking account (including modern) turbocharged engines usual delay.

Another feature of charge by the mechanically driven radial compressor ASA is the strong level of torque in the mid-speed, which especially occurs when overtaking impressive in appearance. This spurt strong departure from the mid-range increases when you loosen the gears continuously up to the maximum speed at which then becomes the maximum boost achieved.

In order to secure more power to the road, finishing a combination of the 20-inch G-Power Silverstone Diamond wheels with tires in size 245/30 ZR 20 recommends to the front axle and 285/25 ZR 20 on the rear axle . These are available on request is to allow nine times in train and rebound adjustable coil-overs “GZ4-RS”, the higher cornering speeds and improved directional stability at high speeds.

BMW Z4 sDrive28i

As we predicted in the past, the first BMW in the United States to feature the new N20 four-cylinder TwinPower engine is the BMW Z4 sDrive28i. We also anticipate that the BMW 528i will receive the same engine this fall.

“The new BMW Z4 sDrive28i Roadster will be the first model in the U.S. to feature the company’s new powerful, efficient and clean TwinPower Turbo 4-cylinder engine. It also marks the return of BMW 4 cylinder power to the United States for the first time in over a decade.

This newest engine, another part of the company’s on-going development of BMW EfficientDynamics, is the latest to combine twin-scroll turbocharging technology with high-precision direct injection and BMW’s Valvetronic throttle-less control system. Taken together, these technologies improve performance while at the same time reducing emissions and lowering consumption.

With 240 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque, this new engine offers similar  power to the normally aspirated 3.0-liter inline six currently offered in the Z4 Roadster and more torque.. Maximum output of 240 horsepower is achieved at 5,000 rpm, 1,500 rpm lower than in the normally-aspirated 3.0-liter inline six. The peak torque of 260 lb-ft comes on stream at just 1,250 rpm. Not only is that nearly 20 percent more torque than the aforementioned inline six, it also peaks 1,500 rpm earlier.  The new BMW Z4 sDrive28i will arrive in US showrooms this fall.”

BMW Z4 2012

Starting this fall, BMW of North America will introduce an update to the BMW Z4 sDrive28i model. The change comes from underneath the hood where BMW replaces the six-cylinder natural aspirated engine with a new four-cylinder turbocharged unit.

The replacement powerplant provides equivalent or better performance, refinement, and smoothness with two fewer cylinders. Like the Z4′s last TwinPower Turbo 3.0-liter turbo inline-6, the new 2.0-liter engine will combine high-pressure direct-injection and BMW’s VALVETRONIC intake control. With 240 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque, it offers more power and torque than BMW’s normally aspirated 3.0-liter inline-6 that it replaces in the Z4 sDrive30i.

The turbocharger is a twin-scroll system, a design already seen in other six-cylinder powerplants.

Average fuel consumption for the BMW Z4 sDrive28i in the EU test cycle has improved by an impressive 20 percent.
