A top address for vehicle wrapping is definitely fostla.de, which is located near Hanover, more precisely in Seelze. Another top address when it comes to the topic of "more power" is PP performance. Why not combine both tuners and see what comes out? We present it to you on the BMW 550i F10 shown here.

fostla.de calls the color of the film “Urban-Taupe-Matt-Metallic” or “Gray-Olive-Matt-Metallic” and leaves the driver of the F10 with the impression of being in a stealth bomber. So that the whole thing doesn't seem too monotonous, fostla.de has deliberately worked with contrasts in the form of glossy black foiled shadow line elements. Of course, the windows also had to be foiled so that the gloomy appearance could continue.
Work has also been done on the headlights in this regard. The chic, deep front lip was wrapped in glossy black, as was the rear diffuser. Fostla.de also got going inside and gave the interior its own touch. The specially developed design, in connection with the sports steering wheel, which was provided with leather and soft upholstery, allow significantly more sportiness inside.
The 4,4 liter V8 has been properly tuned. The series output of 408 PS (300 kW) has been increased to an immense 570 PS (419 kW) and a torque of 800 Nm (previously 600 Nm). PP-Performance has achieved the additional performance through its own Stage 2 package, which upgrades the engine electronics, includes new downpipes and the abolition of the Vmax, costs 4.299 €. A racing exhaust system was installed so that you can hear the extra power.
The performance was enhanced by installing H&R lowering springs (-35mm all around), 5mm spacers (all around) and a set of Yido-Performance YP1 Talia 20-inch aluminum rims in the dimensions 9 × 20 ET35 on the front axle and 10 × 20 ET35 on the rear axle as well as Michelin Pilot Sport tires in 245 / 35ZR20 front and 285 / 30ZR20 rear improved. In terms of performance, this 550i even outshines the M5.
