Performance

Southern BM works in close association with CA Auto Tech UK in helping us bring the best styling and tuning products for all Australians.

Southern BM can provide all matter of services for all your Performance requirements from simple bolt on upgrades like an Air filter kit, to full engine conversions or Superchargers for your BMW car. If you look at our SBM powered cars you will get an idea of some of the modifications we have done previously. Alternatively browse our products section to view some of our products or staged kits for performance we offer.

Engine
We can perform all matter of engine upgrades, rebuilds for road or competition. If you wish to increase your engine capacity then we have stroker kits available or if you wish a strong road engine then that can be accomplished as well. We have upgrade kits available for E46 cars (including E46 M3) consisting of Air box conversions, ECU performance tune or if you prefer Stage 2 kits with Camshafts, exhaust upgrades, Air intakes, Air intakes manifolds and performance tunes. We can also cater for any desire you have for your performance BMW including bigger BMW engines into smaller BMW cars.

Southern BM have a strong desire for Supercharging as the massive power increase cannot be replicated by any other means than forced induction. Supercharger kits are available for E36’s, E46’s, X5’s, E39’s and M cars. We use and recommend Active Autowerke as our preferred supplier of our forced induction packages.

M3 E46 Rotrex Kit and an M3 E46 HKS kit recently installed at Southern BM

Active Autowerke is able to supply us the Active Processor 2 to you. This is a "piggy back" ecu for the 335, and 135 model BMW. This unit replaces the Active Processor.

Feeding our appetite for new technology while achieving exceptional performance on the BMW N54 engines that spools twin turbochargers on the BMW 135i, 335i and 535i; is the basis for the creation of the AP-2 processor.

The new Active Processor 2 features Digital Technology with 4-d mapping capability that allows you to maximize your engine potential gains while making sure your car is still running well within its "safe" limits.

The Active Processor 2 also has the added benefit of featuring eight (8) different pre-programmed tuning files that were hand selected for various performance criteria. One can select from a stock confirguation to higher levels of boost, all dependent on the added performance upgrades from hi-flow performance exhausts; less restrictive air filterting systems; catless open free flowing exhausts; to higher octane fuels.
A special program is also available for race fuel application.

Coupled with the new Active Processor2 Southern BM offer Active Front mounted intercooler Blow off valves, and Exhaust upgrades to enhance your 135 or 335's performance.

We also use Procede for our 135 and 335i Tuning as another option for you with piggy back tuning of your 135, 335i BMW. This is an a fully upgradable unit that is designed to work with your factory CANbus system. When using the Procede you can easily upgrade the settings if you desire catless downpipes to enable 02sims electronically and also it has the ability for the maps to be changed if you desire methanol to be installed.

We can also supply ECU flash tunes for your 135i, 335i or your E92 M3. This allows us to change the settings within your factory ECU to make the most of the performance potential of your BMW engine.

Differentials
We can provide different ratio final drive crown wheel and pinion gears and also an arrangement of LSD units. If your looking at taking your car from the road to the track, an LSD upgrade with increased lock is a must.

These matched together make for a performance ride and looks to go with it. We use a range of sway bars to match these suspension set ups. We also use Bilstein rebuildable shockers in conjunction with H&R products. An Alternative to these is the full range of KW suspension systems that we use as well.
