Don't be fooled by the racing livery on the BMW 1-Series you see
before you. This is a fully street legal car and it packs a hell of a
punch. Tuningwerk who reside just around the corner from the Bavarian auto
maker has upgraded the 3.0-liter engine to generate a total of 521hp
(388kW / 528PS) and 614Nm (453lb-ft) of torque. We are told it will
enable a top speed in excess of 300kph (186mph). The tuning modifications include a titanic exhaust system and it also incorporates an upgraded cooling system. The body is treated to a GT4 front lip, engine hood, boot lid and
rear spoiler that are all made from carbon fiber. The Recaro
PolePosition bucket seats are made from the same lightweight material
and contribute to the extreme weight loss. The tuner also adds a set of
19-inch rims that are wrapped by Dunlop Sport Maxx tires and behind
them are upgraded 370mm or 380mm carbon ceramic brake discs. The final model is said to be ready to pass FIA admission regulations with only minimal changes.
Press release:
UNCOMPROMISING 1st M RS BMW with 521 HP by TUNINGWERK
The fact that the TUNINGWERK company specializes in BMW models, has
geographical grounds, as Puchheim is a catchment area of Munich and
probably rather the other way round. The BMW head office is situated in
Munich. On the other hand, the question was only in time for the
well-acknowledged BMW models that the 1st BMW M-Version would appear.
TUNINGSWERK has given it no other name than the 1st M RS.
The motor, also referred to as engine, was completely modified. The
transmission of the back axis was shortened up to 3.25 transmission
ratios, optionally 3.45 are also possible. As a differential locking it
has a suitable for the power to weight ratio Drexler lock. The cooling
system was completely modified, including the second oil cooler. The
model has a titanic exhaust system. The engine clutch has
unconditionally optimized stability, it is well suited for the city
traffic, and herewith a racing clutch is possible. But for eventually
planned racing some further small modifications for the FIA admission
are needed, such as the expansion of the case. There is still much
potential in further weight reduction, while the door trims and
insulation material is in the original state. GT4 front lip, engine
hood, boot lid and also rear spoiler and Recaro seats called
PolePosition are made of carbon. It is possible to install doors out of
the same material and plastic side glass, however with the full case.
The 3-x club sport lorry running gear can be combined with H&R
lightweight stabilizers upon request.
The important connection between the vehicle and the road in this
case is provided by the forged ATS superlight 9x19 inches rims on the
front and 10x19 inches rims - on the back. Additionally, the vehicle is
equipped with 245/35R19 Dunlop blow-up „Sport Maxx" tyres on the front
axis and 285/30R19 ones - on the rear axis. As an alternative, there are
also FlowForming Crosslight ATS rims of the same size. The car has
installed steel breaking system with discs 370 mm in diameter by Mov'it
to take care of the perfect stop, where the 380 carbon ceramic discs are
also possible.
Due to this balanced mix of tuning means, the TUNINGWERK succeeded in creating the driving dynamics of an outstanding quality. The six three-liter cylinders with 521 hp or 388 kW enable 614 Nm maximal torque from 2,800 rpm and maximal speed of 300 km/h (depending on the type of tyres!) This 1st M RS BMW by TUNINGWERK is undoubtedly a perfect compromise between the street and the race track.
