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.
