BMW 435i And 435d By Alpha-N Performance
BMW 435i and 435d owners can celebrate
after Alpha-N Performance's announcement of a new tuning kit for the cars which
provides them with performance to nearly match the M4. That's of course, the
car 435i and 435d owners should have purchased.
For both models, Alpha-N Performance has
created a custom ECU and also offers an enlarged intercooler. For the
petrol-powered 435i, its turbocharged 3.0-liter six-cylinder engine pumps out
362 hp and 384 lb-ft of torque thanks to the tuner's upgrades, compared to the
302 hp and 295 lb-ft it typically spits out. While no performance times have
been released, we expect the tuned BMW to reach 62 mph in the mid-5 second
range.
Moving onto the 435d, it is actually
slightly more powerful than the 435i as stock thanks to its 308 hp and most
importantly, 465 lb-ft torque figure due to its use of diesel. Alpha-N's
package sees those figures rise to 369 hp and 546 lb-ft.
Alongside the ECU upgrade, the company
offers Ohlins coilovers for both models as well as 19-inch Superturismo alloy
wheels from OZ Racing.
Impressively, the engine upgrade will
only set customers back 699 euros despite all the added power and torque. For
those with a larger bank account, Alpha-N does offer this insane Ferrari 488
GTB kit.
