Alpha-N Performance prepared a software optimization to give the BMW 435i or 435d a boost in power.
The 435i’s turbocharged 3.0-liter six cylinder engine produces 302 horsepower (225 kW) as well as 295 lbft (400 Nm), in its standard configuration. Alpha-N Performance can provide more power for those who feel it requires. The EVOX PowerPlus ECU tuning kit increases the output to 362 horsepower (270 kW) or 384 lb-ft (382 Nm).
There’s no word about performance, but it should be considerably quicker than the standard 435i Coupe which runs the 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) sprint in 5.4 seconds and is electronically-capped at 155 mph (250 km/h).
The 435d has 308 horsepower (230 kW), and 465lb-ft (613 Nm) when it leaves factory. However, Alpha-N Performance is willing and able to increase those numbers to 369 HP (275 kW) or 546lb-ft (740Nm) of torque.
The extra diesel punch should lower the sprint time considerably compared to a stock 435d that needs 4.7 seconds before it reaches an electronically-restricted 155 mph.
The tuner recommends that both the gasoline and diesel motors be fitted with a larger intercooler, which costs $753 (EUR690). Alpha-N Performance charges $763 (EUR699) to upgrade the engine power, regardless of whether it is a gasoline or diesel motor.
The modified BMW 435i/435d has a stronger engine and an Ohlins Road & Track coilover suspension which lowers the vehicle by nearly one inch (25 mm). Alpha-N Performance also offers a set 19-inch OZ Racing Superturismo alloy wheels wrapped in 235/35 R19 front tires and 255/30 R19 back tires. This set is available for $2,511 (EUR2,300).
