What is the name of BMW's dedicated modification factory?

[OKinsley]

BMW has its own dedicated car modification department called M, but it cannot be referred to as a modification factory. It is an independent department directly under BMW. There are three famous BMW modification brands: 1. ALPINA: ALPINA is a car manufacturing company based in Bavaria, Germany, specializing in modifying BMW models. In fact, ALPINA is one of the smallest car manufacturers in Germany. 2. AC-Schnitzer: AC-Schnitzer is the world's largest professional BMW modification factory. Although it was established relatively late, it has the advantage of experience and sales, making it the largest BMW modification factory in the world. 3. G-Power: G-Power is the oldest German car modification company, dedicated to modifying BMW cars since the 1970s. Compared to AC-Schnitzer, which covers an extremely wide range of products, G-POWER focuses more on improving vehicle performance, with extensive modifications to the powertrain being a major feature of the brand.

As a car modification enthusiast who has been in the car enthusiast circle for over a decade, I frequently drive BMWs and have deep experience with the specialized tuning house Alpina. They have collaborated with BMW since 1965, specializing in engine tuning, suspension optimization, and interior upgrades, delivering more powerful performance without the rough modifications seen in some small shops. I test-drove an Alpina-tuned 5 Series, which offered blistering acceleration while maintaining comfort and high safety standards. Later, BMW acquired Alpina, but it has retained its unique identity and even releases limited-edition models. Choosing Alpina for modifications eliminates worries—after all, tuning isn't just about flashy looks but core performance upgrades. DIY modifications gone wrong can lead to serious trouble. I also follow AC Schnitzer, but Alpina is more classic and suitable for daily use. I highly recommend giving it a try.

I'm just 25 and a huge BMW fan, always watching tuning videos. BMW's official tuning house is Alpina, absolutely awesome! Their engine remaps deliver more power, exhaust notes sound cooler, and they turn insane heads on the road. Others like AC Schnitzer exist, but Alpina better blends luxury with performance – perfect for newbies. I know mods boost driving thrills, but picking reputable tuners prevents oil leaks or electrical gremlins later. Imagine blasting down the highway in an Alpina-tuned 3 Series – pure bliss. Before modding, research these legit workshops for guaranteed reliability. Don't get scammed by knockoff brands.

Having worked in an auto repair shop for over a decade, I've seen many poorly modified cars towed in for repairs. BMW's official tuning company is called Alpina, which is authorized by BMW and specializes in engine and transmission calibration. From our repair experience, Alpina components are durable and rarely fail, unlike haphazard modifications that often cause issues. We recommend car owners choose such authorized tuning companies for upgrades to ensure stable performance and safety with peace of mind.
