The boys girls at StopTech have taken the knife to the new BMW ̅ – cutting unsprung weight and upping the horsepower improve on the car’s strong points. The company started ditching the stock brake system and replacing it with – you guessed it – StopTech components. Up front, the car now wears forged aluminum six-piston calipers that clamp down on two-piece 15-inch rotors, while the rear has been treated four-piston pieces that squeeze 14-inch discs. The company claims that the new hardware saves a total 17.6 pounds unsprung mass spread between the four corners.
The stock wheels were also sacrificed favor of new rollers from APP. Even at 19 inches, they manage 3.3 pounds lighter per wheel than what came from factory. StopTech then turned Collaction AG Widnau give car’s horsepower mild bump. Final figures now sit at 450 horsepower and 325 pound-feet of torque, though neither company is saying exactly what went into making that happen. We’re guessing slight ECU reflash was part of recipe.
The whole kit caboodle was then wrapped in special silver vinyl by CFC – company that specializes unique vehicle wraps. Tasty.
