Well, this is one way to get a big turbo to fit in the N54 engine bay without having to worry about routing exhaust piping. Innova'Tig in Puerto Rico designed this very nice looking top mount V-bang single turbo manifold and simply dumped the exhaust through the hood. ...Published on 01-17-2020 06:04 AM
RK Autowerks you can say specializes in the S63 4.4 liter twin turbo V8 BMW engine architecture. You likely saw over the years some of their parts such as the beautiful S63 supplemental port fuel injection manifolds they make. ...Published on 01-16-2020 05:11 PM
Great to see this S54 engine rebuild kit from Carbahn Autoworks. If you want an E46 M3 chances are the example will be higher mileage. Well, a fresh motor will not hurt nor will adding a bit of power to the 3.2 liter S54 motor. ...Published on 01-16-2020 04:56 PM
Now, there is no way of knowing if the two F10 M5's in the video are truly 800+ horsepower examples. Considering they are going up against a bolt on and E85 tuned GT500 on video we know they are not stock and tuned to a degree. ...Published on 01-16-2020 01:53 AM
This is still not the real thing but it sure seems we are getting plenty of leaks and renderings from media sources in order to get fans used to the new grille design. The G22 4-Series rendered here obviously takes cues from the G22 4-Series Concept Car. ...Published on 01-16-2020 01:13 AM
The S65 V8 tuning market is not evolving much today. We all basically know the limit of the motor and what superchargers can take the platform to. ~700 whp is pretty much the maximum before you start playing with fire and hoping the block holds together. ...Published on 01-10-2020 10:41 PM
You saw the stock numbers for this F97 X3M last month from PureBoost.de as they measured it from 100-200 kph and on their MAHA dynamometer. Well, now it has a Stage 1 S58 pump gas tune and output is up to roughly 650 horsepower. ...Published on 01-09-2020 08:52 PM
The new BMW M8 certainly is impressing with straightline performance which is not hard to believe. The performance around the track however and the time set against some very quick cars is indeed much harder to believe. ...Published on 01-09-2020 07:21 PM
We are big fans of EcuTek software over here. Why? Because the company has a great reputation, offers amazing features, and has a huge tuner network. EcuTek joining the B58 tuning scene is only going to pay dividends for BMW and Toyota Supra B58 enthusiasts alike. ...Published on 01-09-2020 06:36 PM
Does the F92 M8 have a slight advantage over the F90 M5? Well, it is close but the M8 is rather easily showing low 10-second capability with simple bolt on modifications. Not only are low 10's impressive, breaking into the 9's seems well within reach. ...Published on 01-08-2020 11:51 PM
We bought a car from a customer and sold to another customer. He asked us to retune it for flex-fuel, and just get it tweaked so it's running its best. This is a car we did a lot of work to over the years so we know it well. ...Published on 01-08-2020 08:11 AM
2020 marks the tenth year of BimmerBoost. The site expanded into the BoostAddict Automotive Performance Network but BimmerBoost started it all and in particular the N54 community here. So, we are celebrating by giving back. ...Published on 01-07-2020 10:38 PM
You are all familiar with Papadakis Racing and their absurdly awesome 1000+ horsepower B58 Supra motor build that is essentially the crème de la crème of MKV/A90 Supra engine builds. Take a further look into the processes that make such a build possible such as industrial/aerospace scale 3D Printing. ...Published on 01-07-2020 09:24 PM
Some are lauding this interview of BMW R&D chief Klaus Froehlich as evidence BMW is not giving up on internal combustion but the opposite is true. The entire interview is about BMW investing in an electric infrastructure and increased EV production knowing the end for diesel and gasoline motors is in sight. ...Published on 01-07-2020 12:31 AM
It is nice to see Carbahn Autoworks (Steve Dinan's new venture) getting to the F90 M5. It is also nice to see a before and after dynograph included for the Stage I tune essentially refuting Steve Dinan's own position and getting with the times. ...
