Not chosen by Hogwarts or Sauron, but chosen by you, the customer who wants his BMW’s life to be improved. If you have a Bavarian product that has lost its way, this is where it goes to a weight watcher program.

Actually, that’s not the most comprehensive part of the discussion. There is some weight loss, but it’s more of a makeover and gym schedule.

There’s some carbon fiber bits here and there and something in there that has Race Prep Weight Reduction package written on it but we get to find out later about that.

Starting off with the 335i’s twin-turbocharged 3.0 liter straight six engine, a massive amount of modifications is swung at it.

Its N55 stock power gets ramped up with a Signature exhaust system, an A+ ECU Management system and a Stage 2 Flash chip, an upgraded downpipe and finally, a custom charge pipe.

A new body kit comes fitted from Active Autowerke, featuring some carbon fiber, extended side skirts, replaced rear view mirrors and extended lips.

Finally, the list of changes comes with forged alloy R10 wheels. They are from the Strasse Forged collection, feature polished step lips and gloss black inner barrels.

These are borderline touching the fenders now that they’re riding on a set of Eibach R2 Coilovers instead of the standard suspension.

All I wish is I knew exactly what power gains we can expect from this.

The most exciting car BMW made during our time is finally getting an upgrade package from one of the most aggressive tuners out there.

From the outside, the changes don’t showoff the way the underpinnings have been treated. So far, no complaints have appeared because of this.

Just a few decals have been used and they actually look like tribal paint African warriors would quickly put on before hitting the fight.

And boy can this white African fight. The 3.0 liter straight six twin-turbocharged engine can now flex its muscles beyond the M3’s capabilities.

According to G-Power it’s now capable of pushing out 435 horsepower and 435 lb-ft of torque. This was achieved using reshaped pipes, titanium exhaust and an ECU remap.

The reshaped exhaust, the special material used in particular lost some weight. 44 lbs have been dropped and there’s more to consider.

In order to make sure you keep the car in check G-Power tuning fitted 20 Silverstone alloys with Michelin sports tires.

Underneath those enormous wheels G-Power used new brakes with six piston calipers and enormous 396 mm rotors up front.

At this point the overall change is easy to spot. Going from 0 to 62 mph takes no more than 4.5 seconds, with the top speed going as far as 186 mph.

This should be one wild ride and it’s obvious that G-Power didn’t disappoint. We weren’t expecting it but the 1 Series is such a favorite of the crowd it’s easy to get trapped working on it.
