BMW M3 transformed to G-Power Tornado

German tuner G-Power is now offering a Tornado supercharger kit for the BMW M3, without any of the usual gaudy body kits.
For the current BMW M3, G-POWER offers an exquisite supercharger system that sets new standards in regards of design, quality and performance. Using gentle soft charging with just 0.3 bar boost, the output of the V8 engine is pushed from 420 hp to 500 hp and the torque increases from 295 lb-ft up to 354 lb-ft.
Already from 3,000 rpm on the supercharged G-POWER M3 TORNADO pulls like the standard BMW M3 revving twice as much, but then the G-POWER M3 TORNADO really starts to flex its muscles from 5,000 rpm until redline the G-POWER M3 TORNADO provides constantly about 20% more torque than the factory car, this provides an acceleration that feels like being dragged by a bungee cord.
This output explosion is based on the heart of the G-POWER supercharger system, the all new T1-518 ASA centrifugal supercharger. The ASA superchargers are being used in the ALPINA models B5S, B6S and B7 as well.

For its mission in the G-POWER M3 TORNADO, the ASA T1-518 has been tailor-made to provide the giant need for fresh air. But the ASA supercharger, flanged to the engine using a CNC-milled high-strength mount, is not the only high-tech component of the G-POWER M3 supercharger system.
The G-POWER M3 supercharger system is completed by the large air-to-air intercooler that is located in the vehicle’s front, which cools the boost temperature down to an optimal level under all circumstances.

Of course the performance figures benefit from this huge output improvement. The figure from stand still to 124 mph improves from 15.8 seconds to 13.5 seconds.
In combination with the 20 inch G-POWER SILVERSTONE DIAMOND wheels and the MICHELIN Pilot Sport tyres in the dimension 255/30 ZR 20 and 295/25 ZR 20, a top speed of more than 200 mph can be achieved.
The G-POWER M3 rear muffler is available made from stainless steel or completely out of Titanium which is lighter than the factory part.
The interior is upgraded by G-POWER with precious carbon panels, a speedometer with G-POWER logo scaled to 225 mph, a sporty aluminum pedal set and on demand a tailor-made leather interior. The exclusivity of each G-POWER M3 TORNADO is documented with a special badge in the interior and on the supercharger system that features the G-POWER serial number.
