We’ve converted a pre-facelift G30 to a facelift. Was it worth it? G30 540i review

BMW G30 540i: European quality in "GARAGE RACER" style

Today on the blog — an updated BMW G30 540i that recently visited Beresteiska. This car belongs to a regular client, and our service team carried out a range of upgrades that made the car even more unique.

This is an official European BMW G30 540i from 2017. And right away — an important note: you shouldn’t compare it to American versions as they differ significantly in build quality and materials used.

This particular car has a perfect history:

• No accidents

• No repaint

• Impeccable engine condition

Exterior: facelift with original parts 

• The car underwent a full facelift

• New facelift headlights installed

• New original M-bumper with a complete grille set

• Trim in black chrome

• All parts are original, ensuring perfect quality and precise fitting

The rear part also changed:

• New diffuser

• Stylish spoiler

• Facelift taillights were already installed

The car now looks harmonious and complete. A quad-exhaust setup was planned but skipped — even without it, the car’s look is balanced and stylish.

Interior: dark blue elegance The interior impresses — the dark blue cabin looks unusual and refined.

At the owner's request:

• New facelift M-steering wheel with carbon paddles installed

• Planned carbon wrapping of trim elements to emphasize the unified style

Technical part: power and reliability Before purchase, the client did a full pre-sale inspection, including an endoscopy.

Results:

• Engine in perfect condition

• No scoring, corrosion, or any issues

After purchase:

• Downpipe installed

• Stage 1 Bootmod3 tune applied

Output power: approx. 380–400 hp

The G30 became noticeably more dynamic and emotional in handling.

Driving impressions The branch manager, personally involved in the project, shares: “Compared to even a facelifted F10, this G30 feels fundamentally newer. European assembly means no creaks, precise suspension, and high-quality finishes. It’s a whole different level.”

On the road:

• Precise, composed, and comfortable behavior

• Excellent throttle response

• Suspension handles road imperfections well

• 18-inch wheels give confidence on the highway

• Fuel consumption — 13 l/100 km, excellent for this power

Final touches The project is nearly complete. Planned:

• New wheels installation

• Possible slight lowering

The result — a ready, stylish, fast, and comfortable car that delivers joy in every drive.

BMW G30 540i by "GARAGE RACER" is not just a modification — it’s a new level of style and functionality.
