Impressive, but just the fact that they fiddle with the internals worries me.This is a complete Redo.

People are so hung up over the wing.
I am not a fan of the wing but speaking to the Tuningwerk folks it provides a lot more down force that the BMW GTS wing. The whole package of the car itself was flawlessly executed and done not only to be functional, but to also pass stringent TÜV vehicles and emissions certifications in Germany. That is one of the main criteria for tuning shops that compete in the yearly Tuner GP held at Hockenheim. All cars competing have to pass TÜV (Vehicle Inspection) as a road going car due to a lot of parts that tuners use have to be TÜV certified for use on those cars. Emissions have to in compliance also. You fail any of that and you are out of the competition. I am not a huge fan of the 2 series, but I truly liked what was done to the car and how everything was performed. Everything that was changed, modded updated and such were done to provide better performance and overall reliability to the capabilities of what the car was built to do, a dedicated track car that you can drive from and to the track and even use as a daily driver. I will be at the Tuner GP and will be doing video when the car is on track. ;-)

Same goes(fiddling) with the engine cooling and oil lubrication system. They told me that they found out the M235i can generate such high cornering loads with slicks(+1.5G's) or semi slicks(+2.0G's)... that the oil pan can not keep oil at/around the oil pump pickup area. This in turn leads to oil foaming and loss of the oil "film" on your main bearings. They found this out due to testing. And the N55 will only last maybe ten minutes at the 'Ring or Hockenheim before major engine damage is done. They also told me that they could not simply use the S55's oil pan/pump from the new F8x M3/M4 bc of the 2er's sway bar mounting. So Tuningwerk designed their own oil pan, scraper and oil cooling system to work on Europe's major tracks.

And even on slicks 2 seems like a lot to me, for that car. To give you an idea, we race this thing: And it generates about 1.5 cornering G's. |

The headlights are factory BMW units. The rest is all made/sold by Tuningwerk.de

Tuningwerk is the way of tuning BMW and other cars.
Engeers have a good feedback about safe tuning and more other interesting things. I recommend this company for tuning and design, specially BMW, they are masters in this brand of cars, they can turn your BMW into a beast. |
