Another day, another series of incomprehensibly large numbers emerging from a tuning house. This dispatch comes from Germany, home to the utter awfulness that is weissbier and the transcendent wondrousness that is strudel. Also many, many fast cars. And a cornucopia of tuners whose mission in life is to remove any modicum of sanity from anything with an engine. We like Germany. This tuner in particular, G-Power, is likely less of a household name than, say, AMG or Ruf. Yes, both of these companies rather transcended the whole aftermarket tuning" thing, but you"d better believe that there are enough left in Germany alone to ensure that no one ever need muddle through life without the sort of power used to start nuclear reactors. G-Power made its name applying this philosophy to unsuspecting BMWS, like this M140i 1 Series. If you don"t believe that nothing succeeds like excess, G-Power does offer a 400bhp halfway house tune. But if you go all out (and, with tuning, is there any other way?), you"ll end up with 440 horsepower and 435lb ft. In a 1 Series.
