For over 40 years, G-POWER has been setting the benchmark in high-performance tuning, particularly for BMW M models. Their expertise is now making waves in the compact performance scene, as they expand their upgrade portfolio for the BMW M2 (G87) a true pocket rocket that’s captured the hearts of enthusiasts everywhere.
Earlier this year, G-POWER introduced a three-stage performance upgrade for the BMW M2’s 3.0-litre twin-turbocharged engine. The base car already packs a punch, with BMW increasing the M2’s power output from 460 hp to 480 hp during last summer’s Life Cycle Impulse (LCI) update. But G-POWER wasn’t content to stop there.
Stage One: GP-600 Performance Software
The entry-level GP-600 upgrade delivers a staggering 600 hp and 720 Nm of torque using G-POWER’s bespoke performance software. This package unlocks the factory ECU and optimises engine parameters to extract maximum performance without requiring any additional hardware. The result? Effortless torque delivery and improved throttle responsiveness that elevate the driving experience to a whole new level.
Stage Two: GP-650 and DEEPTONE Exhaust System
Step up to the GP-650 package, and the numbers climb to an impressive 650 hp and 780 Nm. This upgrade adds the GP-DEEPTONE exhaust system with valve control, which not only enhances performance but also delivers the unmistakable deep growl that G-POWER is known for. The exhaust system features twin carbon-fibre-coated tailpipes available in different finishes, adding a touch of style while ensuring the M2 sounds as ferocious as it drives.
Stage Three: GP-700 Performance Kit
At the top of the range, the GP-700 package pushes the boundaries even further, unleashing 700 hp and 840 Nm of torque. This level of performance requires the addition of G-POWER sports downpipes, ensuring optimal flow and temperature management. The ECU unlock is standard across all stages, allowing the factory tuning restrictions to be removed. Optional extras include lifting the top speed limiter, recalibrating the transmission software for quicker shifts, and installing a GP overrun fuel cut-off for a more aggressive soundtrack. You can also opt for sports air filters and orange-painted aluminium boost pipes for that extra visual flair under the bonnet.
Beyond engine upgrades, G-POWER offers an array of carbon fibre aerodynamic components that enhance both the M2’s aesthetics and its on-road performance. The car pictured here features bespoke carbon fibre front fenders, front flaps, and a GP-DYNAMIC rear wing. These components not only improve downforce but also add a striking visual presence. Meanwhile, the GP-VENTURI carbon fibre engine cover, a hallmark of G-POWER’s design for the M4, M5, and M8, provides efficient heat management for the engine bay while showcasing exceptional craftsmanship.
HURRICANE Forged Wheels
To match the widened stance of the G87, G-POWER offers their HURRICANE RR and RS forged wheels. Sized at 9x20" for the front and 10.5x21" for the rear, these wheels are paired with Michelin tyres in 285/30R20 and 295/25R21 dimensions. The combination ensures both stunning looks and uncompromising grip, whether on the road or the track.
Interior Upgrades
The personalisation doesn’t stop on the outside. G-POWER provides a host of interior enhancements for the M2, including carbon fibre sports steering wheels with optional LED displays, carbon fibre shift paddles, velour floor mats, and even fully bespoke leather upholstery. Whether you’re after a sporty feel or a luxurious vibe, G-POWER can tailor the cabin to your taste.
Conclusion
G-POWER’s upgrades for the BMW M2 take an already thrilling car and transform it into something truly extraordinary. With performance packages ranging from 600 hp to 700 hp, carbon fibre aerodynamic enhancements, and bespoke interior options, G-POWER has ensured there’s something for every enthusiast. For those who crave power, style, and individuality, these upgrades make the G87 M2 a standout in the compact performance world.
