G-Power Pumps New Blood Into Certain BMW 5-Series Models


Unlike some of their other upgrades, G-Power's latest offering, aimed at the new BMW 5-Series, isn't all that flashy, although power is the key word here.

For starters, by using the Bi-Tronik 5 V1 module, the tuner has lifted the output of the 3.0-liter TwinPower Turbo straight-six engine that powers the 540i, from 340PS (335hp) and 450Nm (332lb-ft) of torque, to 400PS (394hp) and 540Nm (398lb-ft) of torque.

G-Power has also massaged the 3.0-liter turbo diesel straight-six lumps found on the M550d and 540d, helping them reach new heights. The former normally makes 400PS (394hp) and 760Nm (561lb-ft) of torque, but after getting paired with the D-Tronik 5 V1 module, it puts down 460PS (454hp) and 860Nm (634lb-ft) of torque.

The 540d, on the other hand, saw its output raised from 320PS (315hp) and 680Nm (502lb-ft) of torque, to 385PS (380hp) and 750Nm (553lb-ft) of torque.

Additionally, different versions of the D-Tronik 5 V1 module are also available for the 520d, 525d, and 530d versions of the new BMW 5-Series, so G-Power really has gone the extra mile trying to attract 5-Series owners in search of some additional muscle.

As a final touch, the company is also offering a set of Hurricane RR ultra-light forged alloy wheels, available in two sizes: 9 and 10.5x20-inch and 9 and 10.5x21-inch, wrapped in either 245/35R20 and 285/30R20 tires, or 255/30R21 and 295/25R21 rubber.
