British company Brabham Racing unveiled the BT92 at the 2008 Essen Motor Show to try and take the Nürburgring Nordschleife lap record for modified production cars, set by a Dodge Viper ACR in 7 minutes 20 seconds. The engine was bored out to 4.4L from the stock 4.0L, enlarged intake and exhaust valves, specially balanced pistons and crank shaft, all to help increase the power to 508hp and 480Nm. 0-62mph time was improved by .4 seconds off the factory time. Upgraded 6 piston front calipers and 4 piston rear calipers as well as enlarged discs were fitted. The entire body was redone in carbon fiber. Only the headlights, doors and carbon fiber roof remained from the BMW M3. As a result of improvements, the rigidity of the structure was increased, and the weight of only the body was reduced by 110lbs (50kg). The weight of the entire car was reduced by 330lbs (150kg) compared to the regular M3. ✅ Wondering what your BMW’s original paint options and interior trims were?

The AC Schnitzer CLS II (Coupe Lightweight Silhouette II) uses parts previously developed on the AC Schnitzer race teach from the Group A M3 used at the 24 hour race at the Nürburgring. The concept is simple, increase power and reduce weight. Heavy use of composite kevlar and carbon fibers were used in the build to help lower weight. To increase power the stock euro spec engine had to be rebuilt from scratch. The modifications, which include a specially programmed AC Schnitzer control unit, finely balanced conrods, precision balanced crankshaft and totally redesigned intake system with a large air box, take the nominal power up to 257 kW / 350 HP with a torque of 355 Nm / 262 lb-ft. This CLS II sprints from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in just 5.1 seconds and reaches a top speed of 290 km/h / 180mph. The even wider wheel arches allow the fitting of 9.5J x 18” racing rims on the front and 10.5J x 18” on the rear with low profile tires in sizes 255/35 R 18 and 285/35 R 18 respectively. The electrically adjustable rear wing can be adapted individually to the requirements of any driving situation and converts the 40 kg lift into 11.3 kg downforce on the rear axle (wind tunnel test in “sport auto” no. 11/1997). ✅ Visit shop.BIMMERtips.com for original BMW parts, aftermarket parts, dealership brochures, vintage magazine ads, posters and more.

The BMW E65’s instrument display compensates for its own aging. An internal counter records operating hours, allowing the electronics to adjust the LCD’s contrast voltage over time; a temperature sensor supplies a separate correction for changing cabin conditions. #bimmertips ✅ Wondering what your BMW’s original paint options and interior trims were?

The BMW F10 M5 and F12/F13 M6 use a thin steel fuel tank in place of the regular models’ plastic tank. Reducing the wall thickness from 4mm to 0.7mm increased capacity from 18.5 to 21.1 US gallons within the available space. #bimmertips ✅ Wondering what your BMW’s original paint options and interior trims were?

Black leather with blue contrast stitching was an exclusive upholstery choice for the US-spec 2013 BMW E82 135is. It added a subtle interior distinction from the regular 128i and 135i models. #bimmertips ✅ Wondering what your BMW’s original paint options and interior trims were?

BMW tested the E63 and E64 6 Series’ six-speed transmission with a robot that changed gear 320,000 times over two weeks.

The BMW E89 Z4’s electric parking brake does not need continuous electrical power to stay applied. A motor, belt and planetary gears turn a threaded spindle whose self-locking action mechanically maintains pressure on the rear brake pads. #bimmertips ✅ Wondering what your BMW’s original paint options and interior trims were?

The 2012 BMW F30 can check its evaporative-emissions system for leaks while parked overnight. Its Natural Vacuum Leak Detection system uses the vacuum created as the sealed fuel system cools, with the test typically requiring 6–12 hours of engine-off time. #bimmertips ✅ Wondering what your BMW’s original paint options and interior trims were?

The BMW E90’s Comfort Access system puts its door-handle touch sensors to sleep during extended parking: after three days on the passenger side and eight days on the driver’s side. A separate sensor still detects a pull on the handle to wake the unlocking process. #bimmertips ✅ Wondering what your BMW’s original paint options and interior trims were?

The BMW E60’s seat heating briefly pauses while the electric steering column moves. Both functions draw power through the center-console switch module, and interrupting the heaters prevents their combined current from overloading its electronics. #bimmertips ✅ Wondering what your BMW’s original paint options and interior trims were?

The 2017 BMW Individual M760Li inspired by Nautor’s Swan used a teak trunk floor bonded to carbon. Rubber-filled joints allowed the wood to expand and contract with temperature changes, applying the same principle used on yacht decks. #bimmertips ✅ Wondering what your BMW’s original paint options and interior trims were?
