RVNG G80 Tuning Guide – Make the Most of Your New-Gen M3

The G80 is one of BMW’s most controversial yet groundbreaking M3 platforms. With aggressive styling, a powerful S58 engine, and an all-new chassis layout, the g80 has quickly become a favorite among modern enthusiasts. At Rvng RaceWorks, we’ve developed the ultimate G80 tuning guide to help you unlock the full potential of your new-gen M3. Whether you’re chasing lap times, show points, or just more daily driving excitement, this G80 tuning guide delivers the insights and upgrades you need.

Why the G80 Is the Perfect Tuning Platform

The G80 offers an incredible base to build on. The S58 twin-turbo inline-six is a massive step up from previous M3 powerplants, and its tuning potential is nearly unmatched. The G80 also comes with improved suspension geometry, electronically controlled rear differentials, and a stiffened chassis structure. These factors make the G80 extremely responsive to performance modifications. Tuning a G80 isn’t just about adding power—it’s about enhancing every aspect of driving engagement.

Engine Mods to Wake Up the G80

When tuning a G80, the first area most owners target is power. At Rvng RaceWorks, we recommend starting with a G80 intake and downpipe combination. These upgrades drastically improve airflow and turbo efficiency. A high-quality G80 intake increases throttle response and adds induction sound, while a performance downpipe reduces backpressure and preps the G80 for tuning.

Once you’ve addressed airflow, the next step is a proper ECU tune. A custom map optimized for your G80 unlocks up to 100+ horsepower over stock. Our G80 software solutions are built with reliability and drivability in mind. Whether you’re on 91 octane or full E85, Rvng RaceWorks tunes ensure your G80 performs consistently and safely.

G80 Exhaust Options – Sound with Performance

The stock G80 exhaust is muted and restrictive. Upgrading to a valved or single midpipe G80 exhaust setup makes a huge difference in tone, flow, and weight reduction. At Rvng RaceWorks, we offer multiple G80 exhaust options depending on your sound preferences—whether you want an aggressive growl or something more subtle for daily use. Every G80 exhaust we sell is tested for drone-free performance and street legality where applicable.

Suspension and Handling Upgrades for the G80

Power means nothing without control, and the G80 benefits from a proper suspension overhaul. Lowering springs, coilovers, and sway bars drastically improve handling balance and grip. The G80 chassis has immense capability, and dialing in camber and toe settings with upgraded suspension parts unlocks its full track potential.

We also suggest G80-specific bushings and subframe inserts to tighten up rear-end response under load. These small but effective mods transform the G80’s handling without sacrificing ride quality.

Brakes, Wheels, and Tires – G80 Grip and Stop

The G80 comes with solid factory brakes, but they’re prone to fade under aggressive use. Upgrading to a high-performance pad and rotor setup, or even a full big brake kit, ensures consistent braking under repeated hard use. We stock G80 brake solutions that are compatible with both daily and track applications.

Proper wheels and tires are a must. Lightweight forged wheels not only look better but also reduce unsprung mass on your G80. Combine them with sticky 200-treadwear tires, and your G80’s grip and feedback go to the next level.

Interior and Driver Feel Upgrades

Tuning isn’t just mechanical—it’s about driver connection. The G80 interior can benefit from a few upgrades to elevate the experience. We recommend short-shift kits for manual G80 models, upgraded steering wheels, and performance seating to keep you planted and in control. Every tactile upgrade makes your G80 feel sharper and more focused.
