G-Power Unleashes its Wrath on BMW 550, 650i, 750i, M5 and M6 Models

Alpina may be christened the official tuner of BMW products, but if it's pure power that you're after, you can't go wrong with G-Power. The German tuning outfit continues to celebrate its 30th birthday this year with new packages, the latest one of which is named "GP Edition 30 Years" and is made for BMW's 4.4-liter V8-powered models from the 5, 6, 7 and M series.

For the 550i, 650i and 750i in all body styles, G-Power offers four states of tune, the first of which fiddles with the 4.4-liter bi-turbocharged V8 engine's electronics to lift output from 444hpp (450PS) and 650Nm to 483hp (490PS) and 685Nm.

The other three kits include modified turbochargers and a sports exhaust, among other upgrades, to hike these numbers to 503hp (510PS) and 720Nm, 533hp (540PS) and 790Nm, and 552hp (560PS) and 810Nm, respectively. 

The other tune is for the entire range of M5 and M6 models, and it includes five different stages for the V8 turbo engine, which in stock guise, produces 552hp (560PS) and 680Nm.

G-Power's packages boost these figures to 617hp (625PS) and 777Nm, 636hp (645PS) and 810Nm, 671hp (680PS) and 890Nm, 700hp (710PS) and 890Nm, and 730hp (740PS) and 910Nm, respectively, with the latter being able to offer both cars a top speed of 330km/h (205mph).

BMW M6 Gran Coupe MotoGP Safety Car Paces...Paris Traffic [w/Video]

As part of BMW’s longterm partnership with the MotoGP world motorcycling championship, the BMW M6 Gran Coupe has been chosen as the official safety car for the 2013 season. Sporting a livery that includes BMW M’s traditional colors, the M6 Gran Coupe MotoGP safety car is a common sight at motorcycle races, but not so much on the roads.

That changed recently as BMW’s Paris brand store George V had the safety car on display and didn’t hesitate to take it for a ride on the streets of the French capital. Although the car lacks the emergency lights on the roof, it looks like the real MotoGP safety car. One thing is certain: it looks and sounds spectacular on Paris’ fashionable boulevards.

As a quick reminder, the BMW M6 Gran Coupe is powered by a 4.4-liter twin-turbocharged V8 engine developing 560 hp and 680 Nm (502 lb-ft) of torque. Mated to a seven-speed M double-clutch gearbox, the unit allows the M6 Gran Coupe to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 4.2 seconds.
