Hartge has introduced a new tuning program for the BMW 1-Series (F20). On the styling front, the model can be outfitted with lowering springs (which reduce the ride height by 30mm) and 19-inch alloy wheels. The cabin can also be equipped with aluminum pedals, velour floor mats and Hartge badging. For added performance, a revised ECU enables the 116d to produce 142 PS (104 kW / 140 hp) and 310 Nm (229 lb-ft) of torque. Likewise, the 118d can be tuned to develop 174 PS (128 kW / 172 hp) and 380 Nm (280 lb-ft) of torque. Lastly, the optimized ECU for the 120d allows the engine to produce 218 PS (160 kW / 215 hp) and 450 Nm (332 lb-ft) of torque.
