The largest benefits yielded by materials like those developed by Bcomp are of weight savings and carbon emissions reduction. Just like carbon-fiber, the future range of BMW M Performance parts will also include components made using natural fibers. The benefits of ampliTex also include improved crash properties and high vibration dampening, along with specific bending stiffness and fatigue resistance, radio transparency, and novel design options relating to color and transparency.Īccording to BMW, combining the two materials allows the automaker to use 70% less plastic for interior paneling, and to decrease carbon emissions by up to 60%. Other benefits include improved crash properties and high vibration dampening. The company also developed ampliTex reinforcements, which take the form of a visible layer of flax fibers that act as covering material. Effectively summarized as maximizing stiffness by adding a 3D structure to the side of a thin-walled shell element, powerRibs allow for a decrease in the base material requirement while enabling weight and cost reduction. “So we are delighted to have Bcomp on board as an official BMW M Motorsport partner for the BMW M4 GT4 project.”īcomp’s powerRibs reinforcement solution was inspired by the veins found on leaves in nature. “Product sustainability is increasing in importance in the world of motorsport too,” said Frank van Meel, boss at BMW M GmbH.

The ongoing collaboration between the two companies illustrates the close link BMW’s various series production models enjoy with their motorsport brethren. The two solutions are used in place of carbon-fiber reinforced plastic, where they act as a lightweight and sustainable substitute. Other reinforcement solutions by Bcomp including powerRibs and ampliTex have also been used in DTM touring cars by BMW Motorsport. For the 2020 Formula E season, the BMW iFE.20 race car ran a flax cooling shaft made by the company, making it the first BMW race car with a component made using renewable plant fibers. Moreover, and perhaps most interestingly, Bcomp is also now an official technical partner with BMW M Motorsport with regard to the upcoming M4 GT4 race car.īcomp and BMW have worked together before. In addition to investing in Bcomp, a development collaboration between the company and BMW Group Research has been initiated, with the intent of using a greater proportion of renewable raw materials for components in future vehicle models. In another strategic move to prepare the company to build the cars of tomorrow, BMW i Ventures, the venture capital arm of the BMW Group, recently invested in Bcomp, a Swiss company described as a leading manufacturer of high-performance composites made from natural fibers. I was just wondering if anyone knew if the 1.0 really is real.Īnyway, I'm thinking this tool is not what I'm looking for, that it's just a permanent car spawner, not a save-your-customized-car retainer.Future BMW vehicles, including M models, race cars, conventional series production vehicles, and M Performance parts, may be (at least partially) made of materials constructed from plant-based fibers before long. This 0.1 version is not infected, just for clarity. So I can't tell if there is really was a 1.0 version, or that's just some fake that someone created. There's also a 1.0 version in many different places on the web, but every copy I downloaded is infected with the 'pws-ldpinch!bq' trojan (which steals passwords). I did find 0.2 version elsewhere on the web that appears to support all of Los Santos and San Fiero, though not Las Venturas.

I see no other garages supported by this 0.1 version, which is odd considering the description claims to support all garages including the hangar.

If I'm looking at this tool right, it appears to save via respawn vanilla cars in the garages it supports, which appears to be:

I'm looking for a garage mod that will allow me to save my customized cars in whichever garage, such that I can pull one, dump it somewhere and it will re-appear in the garage.
