G-POWER 1M Coupé
It is not just the „M“ in the name of the BMW 1M Coupé that identifies
it as a member of the “M-Family” it is the design, as well. The BMW 1M
Coupé is closely related to its bigger brother the BMW M3 with which it
shares the same front and real axles. Unfortunately when it comes to the
power output figures the BMW 1M Coupé does not play in the same league
with the rest of the family. Help is coming from G-POWER with its latest
package for the youngest member of the M-Family.
The G-POWER program for the BMW 1M Coupé covers
all key components that let it join up with the other M-Models. Thereby
the G-POWER engineering department has used the know-how gained from
the development of the G-POWER supercharger systems on the BMW 3.0l
straight six cylinder engine. After all the ASA supercharger used by
G-POWER for its supercharger systems is conceptual closely related to
the turbocharger used by BMW, since both variants use a centrifugal
compressor to build up boost.
Based on this
know-how G-POWER has put together a performance package for the BMW 1M
Coupé, which goes well beyond all electronic performance output
enhancements available on the market, and covers hardware components
that are directly and indirectly related to the forced induction. It
starts with flow optimized downpipes to reduce the exhaust gas
temperature and an enlarged capacity for the boost cooling system so
that the operating temperature of the engine is kept at an output
optimal level under all circumstances.
Exhaust sides a
complete exhaust system made from Titanium with 4 Carbon or Titanium
tail pipes provides for a sporty sound, which can be enhanced up to
racing level by a wireless control switch. At the same time the use of
the ultra light material Titanium enables a weight reduction compared to
the stock exhaust system by approx. 20 kg.
The G-POWER
power output enhancement is completed by a custom-made engine software
that, taking into account the hardware modifications and the individual
product variance, defines new parameters for the fuel amount and
ignition timing; in addition the boost level is slightly raised.
All the G-POWER
engine modifications for the BMW 1M Coupé add up to a power output
enhancement from 340 hp / 500 Nm to 435 hp / 590 Nm. So the G-POWER 1M
Coupé surpasses its bigger brother the M3 by 15 hp and a giant 195 Nm of
torque. Prepared like this the G-POWER 1M Coupé propels itself from
stand still to 100 km/h in just 4.5 seconds and the top speed is reached
at 300 km/h.
Concerning the
suspension at first one will notice the 20 inch G-POWER SILVERSTONE
SILVERSTONE wheels, wrapped with tyres from the G-POWER’s technology
partner MICHELIN in the dimensions 255/30 ZR 20 and 295/25 ZR 20. The
double spokes, typical for the G-POWER design, highlight the spectacular
design of the BMW 1M Coupé. Further improvement of the road handling is
realized through the continuously height-adjustable G-POWER coil-over
suspension GM1-RS with nine selectable settings each for bound and
rebound.
Of course the
negative acceleration is in the focus of G-POWER, as well. The perfect
cure against the fading effect is a G-POWER Braking System. With its up
to six brake pistons and up to 396 mm brake disc diameter, the G-POWER
Braking System enables a substantially higher brake force than the
standard braking system. At the same time, the heat generated due to the
braking process can be dissipated more effectively. The G-POWER brake
package is completed by brake pads with a larger pad area, higher
friction rate as well as metal-coated brake lines. With this set-up, the
G-POWER Braking System always provides maximum brake force and the
braking point remains precise in any case. In addition the G-POWER
ceramic braking system reduces the unsprung mass by 50% percent,
compared to a system with steel brake discs. Accordingly the cornering
and road handling is improved significantly.
