When i was in Germany i wanted to do this tune on my M3 but i could not find a single person that had the tune to really get an idea whether it was worth it or not.

G-Power is a paper tuner, they show a pic with a photoshop logo, they put on a random power number, and rdy

ask some1 in the whole world that has seen a dyno or in RL... you won't find anyone!

I'm not sure about that my Belgian brother...

When I hear the word "G-Power" the next video comes into my mind ..
From what I know is G-Power "NO-BS"
Of course I have huge respect for your tuning shop as well , and I heard good things about it

Yes, that M6 video, send an email to G-Power and ask them who tuned that M6... They probably won't reply.

Our tuning shop & G-Power are no rivals or whatsoever, so if they wouldn't lie, I wouldn't post here.

But check this:

F10 M5 from G-Power
F10 M5 from G-Power

they claim: "740 HP and 975 NM."

this is what an M5 does with a stage 1 tune from BRP:


so with 60 HP & 100 Nm less we are already faster then their 10.50...
In this article there was also a 0-100 time, I send a PM to G-Power and 2 days later that time was gone

something is fishy about these guys...

Agreed. At rolling 50 event in Lahr, Germany many gpower cars were having issues. And not going as fast as a car should with the announced power levels. I think Gpower asks a lot of money for a lot of hot air

Can't say G-power is a paper tuner, but none of the local Gpower E9X m3's would race me when I had my turbo e46 m3.

When I ran a BMW performance shop In Orlando, we installed multiple G-Power Twin Supercharged kicks on the S85. Their hardware is amazing. The lack of communication and even getting ahold of them was atrocious. Their tuning was even worse.

Would not recommend them based on PERSONAL experience with them. 7+ years of dealing with them. Although, once everything was done, the kits were rock solid. Had a kit on a car with over 50k miles on it. No issues. Normal wear and tear, but that's about it.

But getting it to run correctly with their remote back and forth and time difference. Nothing but a headache.
