BMW 4 Series – a new AC Schnitzer project

Last year, BMW unveiled the 4 Series Coupe which provoked various comments. German company AC Schnitzer, which specializes in BMW cars, has tuned two models, the 430i and M440i.

In the M440i, AC Schnitzer has installed a new stainless steel exhaust system, a sports suspension with a set of springs that lower the car by 30 mm. The BMW M440i has a 3.0-liter six-cylinder engine with 420 hp and 443 lb-ft of torque.

The 430i has a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine with 296 hp and 347 lb-ft (470 Nm) of torque.

Both models feature a new set of 19 or 20-inch wheels in diamond cut, gray or black.

The price of the upgrade is not known, but the five-year warranty gives some peace of mind.

BMW X6 M

German company G-Power has transformed the BMW X6 M into a beast. Although it is an incredibly fast SUV, the G-Power has pushed the limits of its performance.

The standard BMW X6 M has a 4.4-liter V8 twin-turbo engine with 625 hp and 553 lb-ft of torque, which is more than enough for this SUV.

Upgrading the Stage 3, which includes a new set of turbos, a new exhaust system, new downpipes and a new ECU map. All of this allows the X6 to have 800 hp and 700 lb-ft of torque. This upgrade will cost you an additional $ 20,000. The listed price does not include good-looking add-ons like the ones in the photo.

Stage 2 increases power to 737 hp and 900 Nm of torque, which will cost you around $ 4,220 (€ 3,495). To achieve the stated performance, a stainless steel exhaust system with valve control and a sports downpipe is required, which costs around $ 4,220 (€ 3,495).

The tuned X6 M is expected to accelerate from 0 – 62 mph in less than 3.8 seconds.

The X6 M features a lowered suspension setup, as well as new decals all around and carbon fiber aero bits. G-Power also offers 23-inch wheels with high-performance tires, 315/25.

New Mercedes AMG C63

The new Mercedes AMG C63 for 2022. Although it is still in the testing phase, some information has been leaked to the public.

According to a Car Magazine report, the new Mercedes AMG C63 will use a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine the same as the AMG A45, with an integrated starter-generator (ISG) and a rear electric motor. So, it will not use the V8 engine as the previous model. It will also be 243 kg (535 lbs) heavier than the previous C63 sedan.

Speaking of power, the new 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine combined with the electric motor will produce 550 hp and 590 lb-ft of torque. The new model features a nine-speed sports transmission and active four-wheel drive from Drift mode. It will reach a speed of 62 mph in 3.5 seconds, which is 0.6 seconds faster than its predecessor.

The C63 will have a twin-power rear axle for power transmission via 4Matic + drive system, adjustable suspension and offset tire sizes (bigger at the back) for better corner exits.

The C63 AMG 4-Matic + EQ Power Sport (real name) will be introduced at the end of 2021, and will be on sale from 2022.
