BMW Performance

To stay ahead of the competition, youve got to be ahead of your time.
Good design is all about absolute clarity and precision. And that is exactly what you get from all the aerodynamic components in the BMW Performance range. From the overall design, down to the smallest detail, the aim is nothing less than perfection. The uncompromisingly unique lines of the BMW Performance aerodynamic kits for the BMW 1 Series and BMW 3 Series are sure to catch the onlookers eye, yet they still integrate seamlessly with the design of your BMW. The front and rear aprons are characterized by their dynamic horizontal lines and sharp-edged curves. Similar visual language is also used in the side skirts. In addition, there are also optional front splitters in carbon. These too integrate perfectly with the overall look of your car. Further design highlights include the carbon spoilers on the roof or boot with their minimalist style, they make a striking statement, while also significantly increasing downforce. The distinctive BMW Performance accent strips likewise emphasize the dynamic design of your BMW, while the mirror caps, again in carbon, are also sure to make the discerning heart beat faster.

Wheels that will have you driving the light fantastic.
If youre a runner, then youll know the feeling: you find a pair of trainers that fits you just right, and suddenly its like your heels have sprouted wings. And as shoes are to a runner, so wheels are to a car they are what connect it to the road, completing both the look and the feel of the whole. BMW Performance alloy wheels successfully combine minimalist sports-style design with remarkably low weight. In fact, they set whole new standards in lightweight aluminium wheel construction using low-pressure casting. The reason that they weigh so little lies in the diameter of the spokes, which is incredibly low for cast wheels, and in the cut-away design of the join between spokes and rim something that up till now was only possible with forged wheels. This allows more air to get to the BMW Performance brakes, ensuring they work with maximum efficiency even at high temperatures. Both the 18-inch wheels for the BMW 1 Series and the 19-inch wheels for the BMW 3 Series are in the largest sizes approved by BMW for use on the model in question.

Give your engine more of what it needs.
The engine of your BMW is eager to unleash its full power, but it can only do so if you give it room to breathe. In other words, your engine needs air, as highly compressed and at as steady a rate as possible. That way, the cylinders will be evenly filled, and so will be able to produce more power and more torque. The BMW Performance air intake system ensures that the engine is always provided with the optimum amount of air. Special air pipes and filters make possible high throughput and minimize pressure loss. This creates a throaty intake note which can be enjoyed inside the cockpit, enriching the sports-car experience of driving your BMW. A section of the air intake cover is made of hightech carbon, and carries the BMW Performance lettering. It may be hidden under the bonnet, but the message it sends out couldnt be clearer.

Limits are made to be pushed back.
BMW designers dont view the boundaries of what is technically possible as a limitation, but rather as a challenge. They are constantly striving to find the technical advances to roll back these boundaries, and explore previously uncharted territory. The BMW Performance power kit for the BMW 135i and BMW 335i is a prime example of such an advance, further enhancing your vehicles already impressive engine output. It features a combination of software and hardware components that work together as a package. The engine tuning parameters have been modified to enhance output, while an additional radiator, air intakes for this, and a powerful 850-watt fan have been incorporated to deal with the extra heat generated in consequence. The effect that these modifications have on the BMW 335i and BMW 135i can be seen in the graph. The maximum torque of the sixcylinder in-line engine is increased from 400 to as much as 450 Nm, depending on the type of transmission, and power output rises from 225 to 240 kW. This improves acceleration both from 0 to 100 km/h (by 0.2 seconds over models without the power kit) and from 80 to 120 km/h (by 0.5 seconds in fifth gear). So you can look forward to pushing your vehicle to new limits. Torque (Nm)

Your BMW, your rules.
Of course its up to you to decide the best way forward. But any driver would be excited about the new territory in cockpit design that BMW Performance accessories invite you to explore. Climb in, and youll find that the BMW Performance sport seat fits you like a second skin. Its highly distinctive shape was inspired by the monocoque construction technique used in racing cars, and it combines outstanding lateral support when cornering at speed with a high level of comfort on long journeys. Upholstered in black Alcantara, and featuring a built-in side airbag, it is also adjustable between two height settings. The BMW Performance lettering is a proud statement of its racing origins. The BMW Performance sport steering wheel likewise breaks new ground. Its design features Alcantara trims and grip areas, and wouldnt look out of place in the cockpit of a Formula One car. A three-section display built into the top of the rim allows drivers to call up a variety of motorsportrelated functions* and data. The RaceTimer, for example, can capture up to 25 lap times, and can also record sector and split times, maximum acceleration and speed, and the time taken for the quarter-mile sprint. The display also shows Gear Shift Indicator prompts, water temperature readings, and on some models oil temperature too. If you wish, you can even keep a constant eye on your straight-line and lateral acceleration. Ultimate performance is a question of getting even the smallest details absolutely right, and this philosophy is exemplified in the decorative components of the BMW Performance range. For example, the meticulously crafted interior trim strips in carbon combine a high-tech motorsport feel with an effortless sense of style.

*Please note that these functions must be used in strict compliance with the rules of the road.
