Top 8 Best Performance Upgrades for the BMW G8x M3 / M4

When it comes to the BMW G80 M3/G82 M4, opinions have been split, especially regarding the front-end design compared to its older sibling, the F80. I must admit It’s starting to grow on me. The distinct, aggressive style synonymous with BMW’s M models, combined with the powerhouse S58 engine, delivers an enticing blend of both auditory and visual excellence. Undoubtedly, the performance of these cars demands attention.

However, stepping inside a G80/G82/G84, it becomes evident that BMW has left considerable room for improvement. With that in mind, let’s dive into the realm of modifications. Here are the top eight performance upgrades tailored for the BMW G8X M3/M4.

1. CFS Radiators High-Performance Engine Oil Cooler

With many motorsports teams and race enthusiasts now pushing over 800 horsepower, the S58 is seeing oil temperatures well above normal. Once oil temperatures pass a safe limit the G8X will go into limp mode. Needless to say this can ruin a race, track session, or your overall driving fun in general. CSF is here to keep your S58 running at peak performance.

By keeping the factory mounting location and relative dimensions, the factory ducting and shrouds are all reused with no modifications necessary. The S58 is know for its oil cooler sitting very low. It is right above the front splitter. This means that a small accident could easily damage the oil cooler. In response to that, CSF added a rock guard to keep the cooler safe. You’ve no doubt heard horror stories about an OEM cooling getting punctured and spilling oil all over the road or track. Now you can feel safer and more confident that your oil system is safe from road debris.

2. Meisterschaft SUS Down Pipe Section Cat Elimination Pipes 90mm w/ Heat Shield Protection

The factory exhaust unit was not built with optimal performance in mind. Manufactures have various factors they take into consideration when designing an OEM exhaust system that come before performance, such as cost reduction, sound deadening, etc. All of these compromises come with a price, they typically reduce performance. This Meisterschaft Downpipes replace the restrictive factory units and increases exhaust flow by minimizing bends in the system. With a better flowing exhaust you have faster throttle response and more power. Utilizing the highest quality 100% Stainless Steel. Along with better performance, the increase in exhaust flow also provides a louder, more aggressive tone over stock. Meisterschaft’s design team builds their exhaust systems to compliment the power plant of your G80/G82 and increase horsepower and torque.

3. Burger Motorsports Performance Front Mount Cold Air Intake

Finally, an intake system worthy of your S58 G80 M3 and G82 G83 M4! The Front Mount BMS Elite G8x S58 Performance Intake completely removes the restrictive OEM intake and replaces it with 3.5″ high flow ducting and BMS inverted cone performance air filters. The filters are placed behind the front grilles for maximum cold air induction, amazing sound, and intriguing looks. In addition to freeing up power, turbo spool speed is greatly improved and there’s an incredible sound improvement. You’ll finally be able to hear your turbos spooling!

5. CSF Radiators High-Performance Front Mount Heat Exchanger

Like many BMWs, the S58 motor has some heat issues under heavy driving conditions. While in stock form, the G8X’s factory cooling system does a decent job keeping up with the cooling demands. While this was true of the car in factory spec, those results changed when the cars were modified and started pushing more power. CSF’s industry-leading reputation and deep knowledge of high-performance BMW cooling systems allowed its engineers to immediately identify the cooling weak spots on the S58 engine. The engine is very similar to the B58 in the A90 Supra and G-Series BMW 40i models. Both feature a liquid-to-air charge cooler manifold paired with a front mount heat exchanger (water radiator). The Heat Exchanger cools the fluid cycling through the charge cooler, dissipating heat from the system.

6. EBC Brakes High Performance Brake Pads

Are you planning to switch gears from commuting in your G80/G82 during the week to hitting the track over the weekend? If so, upgrading your brake pads might just be the key to elevating your driving experience! The M3 and M4 models are revered for their thrill-seeking drivers who crave optimal performance both on the road and the track. Recognizing this demand, EBC Brakes has unveiled a brand-new line of high-performance brake pads tailored for all versions of the G8X BMW M3/M4 lineup.

One of the common issues among the M car owners are brake squeals, which can hinder the overall driving experience. With EBC Brake pads, there’s no need to compromise by braking later and pressing the pedal harder. These high-performance brake pads are engineered to minimize noise while significantly enhancing brake performance. If you’re seeking a balance between reduced noise and superior braking capability, EBC High Performance Brake Pads could be the ideal solution for your M3/M4

7. Meisterschaft Titanium Full Catback Exhaust System

Take your G8X M3/M4 to the next level by adding the Meisterschaft Titanium Full Catback Exhaust System. This system is a triple threat; it will increase your vehicle’s power, reduce weight, and improve the overall sound to transform your driving experience. This precision-made performance system delivers more power, especially in the low- and mid-rev range. The effect on the sound is also significant, adding a deep resonant sporty sound, but at the same time neutralizing the vexing frequencies in the most critical rpm range. Complete the look with the choice of four different exhaust tip options: Stainless Steel tips, Glossy Black tips, Matte Black tips, or Heat Baked Dry Carbon tips.

8. VR Tuned Tuning Box

The 3.0L Twin-Turbo inline-6 S58 that lives in the engine bay of the M3 and M4 G80 was just as stout, if not more so than the B58 it replaced. While the highest numbers we were able to draw out of the stock turbos and this extremely reliable engine will remain top secret, we can proudly say our VR Tuned Tuning Box was able to achieve a peak of 640hp and 559ftlbs of torque while maintaining safe ignition timing and without increasing knock to a dangerous point. Additionally, due to the plug and play nature of the VR Tuned Tuning box, you can gain up to 137hp and 80ftlbs of torque and may even be able to maintain your factory warranty, depending on your vehicle’s point of failure and the dealership which services it.

While the new BMW Engine Computers do have the ability to datalog to identify issues or anomalies in a vehicles performance that would surely reveal ECU tampering, since the VR Tuned Tuning Box is plug and play and can be uninstalled without a trace, it’s safe to say uninstalling the Tuning Box and unplugging the battery for about 10 minutes should be enough to lose any datalogs and allow you to drive to your service center as stock as the day it left the plant. This of course, is just theory and not instruction.

So if you’re interested in gaining horsepower, throttle response, and increasing those much sought-after burbles from your exhaust without completely forfeiting your warranty by opening the ECU, look no further than VR Tuned.
