Dorch Engineering is a name well known at this point in direct injection BMW fuel upgrades. You likely saw Dorch Engineering the S55 lift kit which provides a nice fueling boost and now the N55 lift it will be released in early 2022. ...Published on 11-23-2021 04:12 PM
An interesting benchmark here as a stock C8 Chevrolet Corvette is put up against a BMW F82 M4 CS. The CS model features a slightly stronger tune on the S55 and this M4 is stock except for an aftermarket mid-pipe. ...Published on 11-23-2021 10:44 AM
For years an M3 wagon did not make too much sense as the M3 features a relatively small and high strung naturally aspirated motor. Now that the M3 is heavy, turbocharged, all wheel drive, and automatic why not build it? ...Published on 11-19-2021 05:25 PM
The new G42 M240i xDrive is an exciting all wheel drive entry from BMW. Perhaps not all new as the B58 motor under the hood we all know quite well and that is frankly a good thing for those into BMW tuning and performance. ...Published on 11-18-2021 07:08 PM
The MKV Supra platform is already deep into the 8's. EkanooRacing practically makes running 8's in the new Supra look easy turning multiple 8.XX passes with a best 1/4 mile run of 8.780 @ 252.84 kph or 157.10 mph. ...Published on 11-18-2021 12:43 PM
Just another example of ethanol versus pump gas tuning here on the S55 but with an example running upgraded hybrid turbochargers. This 2017 BMW F80 M3 Competition features upgraded S55 turbochargers with the Stage 2 units from Pure Turbos. ...Published on 11-17-2021 03:24 PM
Remember when BMW said they would never do an M SUV? Many do not. Today, not only is M doing SUV's but the top of the M range is likely to be an SUV. BMW teased the XM hybrid which certainly is not shying away from huge kidney grilles. ...Published on 11-15-2021 12:32 PM
A very interesting comparison here with three of the best performance sedans on the market. The outlier is naturally the Tesla Model S Plaid which is 100% electric and we all know just how fast the thing is in a straight line. ...Published on 11-15-2021 11:31 AM
This stock Ford Shelby GT500 Mustang you likely watched in action several times already. It serves as a solid performance barometer and here it is taking on another stock vehicle which is the very capable BMW F90 M5 Competition. ...Published on 11-15-2021 11:12 AM
Congrats are in order to Ghassan Automotive for doing what nobody else was able to up to this point with the N54 platform. Ghassan Automotive is pretty much playing the game by themselves at this point setting records on the platform nobody else is approaching. ...Published on 11-12-2021 02:51 PM
Wow, is this really happening? Let's hope the reports are not clickbait as if true BMW is letting the Supra encroach on the M3. BimmerBoost continually rails on the weight of the G80 M3 but if the Supra does indeed get the S58 motor it will be the lightest chassis on the market with said powerplant. ...Published on 11-10-2021 07:31 PM
Attempting to force a factory ECU to do on the fly flex-fuel tuning is very difficult when it was not designed for that purpose plus modern encryption techniques make just basic ECU flash tuning quite difficult let alone more complicated tasks. ...Published on 11-10-2021 03:32 PM
Well, that last stock internal factory turbo S63TU and F90 M5 record 1/4 mile record did not last long now did it? Eurocharged Canada raised the bar for a bolt on F90 M5 with factory turbochargers, the factory transmission, and factory S63TU2 engine internals even further. ...Published on 11-10-2021 12:11 PM
How about that? Mid-11's from a bolt on E92 M3 DCT S65 V8. As you know, squeezing power out of a relatively small naturally aspirated V8 with a high specific output to begin with is not easy. If you showed this 1/4 mile time to people when the E92 M3 came out, nobody would believe you. ...Published on 11-10-2021 11:42 AM
Sorry, we just can not get used to that grille. It looks better on the M models somehow but this Gran Coupe setup is just plain ugly. The nice thing is you do not have to look at it when driving and can enjoy the excellent B58 powerplant under the hood. ...
2023 Toyota Supra to get a manual... and the...
Wow, is this really happening? Let's...
