BMW Tuning - Boomer 5

Engine tuning is an improvement of characteristics of an engine by making serious changes in its design. Using this, you will be able to substantially increase the power and the torsion torque. However, serious tuning should be performed only be reputed tuning studios. In Russia, BMW tuning is performed by «Alpina», AC «Schnitzer», «Hamann». When performing tuning of cars during the guarantee period, these works should be performed only after coordination with a service technician.

External car tuning includes mounting of M-Techik spoilers, "white" optics, sports suspension and cast disks with low-profile tyres. One of the kinds of external tuning includes mounting of cast disks. The "Hartge" factory makes BMW cast disks on its own equipment using projects of its own designers. Tuning of the engine is harder than tuning of the suspension, which the latter may even be done by nonprofessionals. Chip tuning means exclusively the optimization of the control block of the engine. The engine is not modified; the modified part is only the chip responsible for control of the engine.

There are a lot of inexpensive offers of chip tuning on the market. Mounters of tuning programs state that it is possible to improve a factory product without influencing certain characteristics. But at that, they fail to inform that the increase of power leads, first of all, to deterioration of operational characteristics of oil and a misbalance of the transmission. As a result, people pay for tuning by a reduction of the general resource.

Since if you change the factory installed program during tuning, the car guarantee may be recalled, the tuning studio promises that, to maximally preserve the standard car composition and to preserve the guarantee, it is enough to reprogram the control unit to raise the engine power. Professional tuning is capable to transform a car beyond recognition, both internally, and externally.

Some workshops in Russia are already mastering deep tuning of second-hand BMWs with use of brand spare parts to the engine. And if the suspension of E34 ideologically does not differ much from the second generation of the "fifth series", Е28, that means that the widely spread in Russia Е28's are possible to be improved by spare parts for the 34th hull. As to BMW disks, it is necessary to remember, that sports versions of cars have brake mechanisms that are larger than on those that are not included in this category. Hence, the disks should be of a larger assembly diameter, otherwise the brake will obstacle free rim rotation. For example, a 15 or 16 inch disk for the 3rd BMW model will not be enough for the sports version BMW М3, for which 17-inch disks will be better.

The width of rims of automobile disks usually suits into the framework of the following line: 3,5; 4,0; 4,5; 5,0; 5,5; 6,0; 6,5 and 7,0 inches though tuned, sports and off-road cars can use even wider disks, up to 13,5 inches.
