2012 Volkswagen Golf GTI by BBM Motorsport


 
  Review 
 
   

BBM is a well-known tuner of various Volkswagens and the GTI has once again become a favorite of import car tuners everywhere. This latest GTI mod offered by BBM serves up both styling and performance modifications that are sufficient enough to make any Vee-Dub owner smile.

The first thing you get is a carbon-fiber hood that saves a little weight and adds to the look of the GTI. The carbon-fiber treatment continues on the door step plates, rear diffuser, and mirror housings, completing the look. CFC Styling Station wrapped the rest of the body in a blue metallic foil and added a load of stickers to the front, left fender.

Looks aren’t all you get with this package. You also get a set of orange and aluminum 8 x 20-inch Corniche Challenge rims with sticky 235/30R20 tires mounted to them for a little extra grip. Also helping you keep it on the road is a complete suspension setup from KW Clubsport. Bringing this GTI to a stop is a set of Stopteck front brakes that feature 355 x 32 mm (23.97 x 1.26-inch) rotors and 4-piston monobloc calipers.

The twisties aren’t the only place you can have fun with this BBM-tuned GTI. It also boasts am ECU flash and a full-stainless-steel exhaust system with a racing catalytic converter. This pumps the GTIs turbocharged 4-banger from 210 horsepower to a whopping 275 horsepower and its torque from 206 pound-feet to a more respectable 280 pound-feet.

There is no build price listed for this kit, but we would anticipate it to run in the $5,000 range with all of that carbon fiber. It may even sneak into the $8,000 range, if the ECU modification is more than a simple flash.

One thing I love with Volkswagen is that they make simple cars with good performance like 2012 Volkswagen Golf GTI.

The new components have minimal effect on its style. On the other hand, it has improved further the performance of this.

I agree that its grille is terribly good to look at. It gives more stronger stance at its appearance.

The Volkswagen Golf is definitely eye-catching due to its sportier and more elegant appearance courtesy of BBM Motorsport. The most prominent change on the Golf comes up front, with a handmade stainless-steel grille built by BBM themselves. I love its impressive stance, and this is definitely one Golf oozing with car appeal.
