Everything you need to know about BMW Performance Tuning

One of the best aspects of buying a new BMW is the customization options that you have at the tips of your finger.  Not only have your purchased the ultimate driving machine, but the add-ons and performance upgrades you can add can really help transform your new BMW into a personalized performance beast on the road.  The only real question becomes:  what type of performance are you looking for?

BMW Performance Tuning Options

Performance upgrades can come in many shapes and sizes, but at the end of the day, its going to depend on what kind of driving you want to do.  Are you looking to make your ride as smooth as possible for those long road trips, impressing people as you speed by them on the interstate?  Or are you looking for sheer, unadulterated power, the ability to leave everyone in the dust when the light turns green and leave them shaking when you pass?  Or do you want adaptability, have the freedom to take your car on any type of terrain imaginable and have it maintain its durability without sacrificing performance.

Once you settle on what you’re looking for, the possibilities are endless.  Lets go over a few of the most common performance upgrades people make to the BMWs and how you can best performance tune your new ride.

  1. Cold Air Intake

If you are looking for an affordable and quick way to boost your engines power, look no further than installing a Cold Air Intake on your new BMW.  These puppies work by pulling in air from outside the engine that is much cooler, and as such, much denser with oxygen.  As a result, your engine has a lot more fuel to combust which can give you an instant power boost.  In addition, while it may seem counter intuitive, this actually helps your fuel efficiency as well.  Since there is more power per engine cycle, there is less overall fuel used.  One of the rare double bonuses when seeking to improve performance.  If you’re trying to decide which cold air intake is right for you, check out this site: https://www.thedrive.com/reviews/28241/best-cold-air-intakes

  1. Exhaust Systems

The power that is being generated in the engine is only as good as the system designed to deal with the exhaust.  If you really want to take your driving power to the next level, you need an exhaust system that is designed to unleash the beast within.  But like all upgrades, you have to ask yourself:  what are you looking for?

If you want to really unleash the power of your car, and feel the vibrations when you step on the gas, you’re also going to have to live with the extra noise associated with that.  That may be ideal for getting of the line fast, but if you’re having long drive, that may get old very quickly.

If you are looking for power, but want to maintain that smooth and peaceful ride, and upgraded muffler that can dampen the sound may be what you’re after.  Either way, there are tons of options and you can check out a few here: https://www.carid.com/bmw-exhaust-systems/

  1. Performance Suspension

Power is one thing, but you also want your ride to be smooth and enjoyable.  That is where an upgraded performance suspension comes in handy.  If you’re going to supe up your engine, you need to pair that with an upgrades suspension system that can handle all of that power.

Additionally, depending on the type of driving your going to be doing, you can pair a suspension system that works best for your personal preferences.  Someone who is more inclined for long road trips on the interstate is going to have a difference suspension need than someone who is doing some low-key drag racing on the weekends.

And if you live in the county and want a car that can seamlessly transition to any type of road, investing in a heavier duty suspension system is something you will want to invest in.  But, the options are wide open, and you can check them out at this site: https://www.automotivestuff.com/auto-parts/best-performance-suspension-systems-2018 

  1. Wheel Customization

A suspension system is only as good as the wheels that touch the road.  At Exclusive Detail, our newest service focuses on wheel customization that not only improves the look of your BMW, but also its performance.  Customizing your wheel package is the best way to instantly make your own personal mark on your car.  And there are tons of options to choose from.

There are many options that make your vehicle better suited for either racetrack conditions, off-roading conditions, or driving anywhere in between with a safe amount of grip and traction.  At Exclusive Detail, we can sit down and talk with you about the options and find out exactly what is best for you.  Additionally, aside from look, there are many other benefits that include:

  • Safety
  • Maneuverability
  • Aesthetics
  • Increased value
  1. High-End Paint Protection

Finally, while BMW performance tuning is critical, you want to make sure it always looks its best.  One of the best things you can invest in is a premium paint protection plan.  Having to have your car repainted is a costly endeavor, and prevention of paint fading is always a better investment.  Additionally, it keeps your car from looking like you need a new paint job.

Paint protection systems serve as the first line of defense of your car’s paint job.  Premium Paint Protection adds protective film that is able to absorb potential damage to your car’s paint job like rocks, road debris, bird droppings, bug splatter, UV rays, acid rain, etc.  Additionally, this is a job you want to trust to the experts.

A dealership may be good at servicing your car, but for the extra level of protection, you want to go to a specialized detailer to provide a top of the line paint protection system to your car.  This will ensure your improved performance from your add-ons is matched by a sleek, fresh off the lot, look.

A BMW is the ultimate driving machine, but what you drive off the lot is only scratching the surface of its potential.  There are nearly endless possibilities to improving the performance, feel and look of your BMW, you just have to figure out what you’re after, and how much you’re willing to spend.  With all of these, the good folks here at Exclusive Detail are here to help take your car to the next level.
