Hamann is becoming more and more imposing on the aftermarket segment with exquisite tuning programs carried out on different BMW products, and the latest one to receive a special attention and neat treatment is no other than the BMW M2 Coupe.

It is not the first time we get to see the M2 getting its share of fame from Hamann, and each one showcases the dedication and the efforts that the aftermarket specialists have put to demonstrate that the M2 is not just a baby brother, it`s THE baby brother that could…!

However, this model seen here is looking smashing as well with the new styling kit and sounds extremely powerful with the new power kit under the hood.

From a first look at the car, we can depict the new styling bits consisting of optional central carbon-fiber insert under the grille, side sills with wingtips in front of the rear arches, Hamann rear spoiler and diffuser, stainless-steel sports exhaust system with carbon fiber quad tailpipes, which can be adorned with silver or black anodized finishes.

The list of mods continues under the hood, the BMW M2 Coupe by Hamann receiving a power boost. We are looking here at an ECU remapping, new control unit with ignition map, all adding 50 horsepower and 65 Nm of torque, for a total of 420 horsepower and 530 Nm of torque.

The engine sends the power to the rear axle via a six-speed manual transmission, but can also be paired to a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission as well. The latter one helps the M2 Coupe sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in just 4.2 seconds, bringing it closer to the BMW M3 or M4.

Hamann Motorsport is one of the scarce tuning companies worldwide to have a crush on BMW models, the aftermarket specialists carrying out the most outstanding, craziest and impressing projects both at the exterior as well as inside.

The tuner`s latest project involves a 2016 BMW M2 Coupe, this particular model featuring a complete aero kit and upgrade power under the hood.

To start with the exterior, the technicians have installed their custom front spoiler with design cues that go all the way to the rear, adding a much more prominent radiator grille at the front bumper, along with carbon-fiber insert under the mesh grilles, which increase the car`s overall aggressive attitude.

The aftermarket specialists have also added new side sills with additional wing tips in front of the wheel arches, while the rear end is now equipped with the new rear spoiler which highlights the outstanding taillights. The rear diffuser also features the Hamann`s exhaust system with quad tailpipes.

The entire aero kit from Hamann is complemented with the one-off Hamann Anniversary Evo alloy wheels, which increase the car`s stance and driving capabilities.

The good news is that Hamann have also added their special upgrade program underneath the car`s skin. We are looking here at 50 HP and 65 NM of torque added to the stock power. The 3.0-liter inline six-cylinder engine is now outputting a total of 420 horsepower and 530 Nm of torque, bringing it much closer to the BMW M3/M4. We are not sure about the 100 km/h sprint, but the car is definitely much faster than the stock 4.4 seconds.

We all know that the 2016 BMW M2 Coupe is the Bavarian`s latest edition in terms of design and performance, and even if that doesn’t mean that the model is the fastest from the entire BMW lineup, it does standout from the crowd with unique features that make it that desired and wanted.

And we have seen what the M2 Coupe can do on the tracks or on the roads, or how it looks wearing different styling kits and mechanical bits that would make it even more powerful than before.

The latest project is signed by Hamann German tuner and involves the fitting of a custom exhaust system. Unfortunately, the work is still in progress, but the technicians released a teaser video showcasing the car`s rear end fitted with the new rear muffler, all part of the ongoing exhaust system.

The video teaser is highlighting the car`s wilder engine growl, which is also a clear indication that the coupe would also receive a power boost. Again, the tuner hasn’t revealed any details, as the car is still under heavy mechanical customizations.

The 2016 BMW M2 Coupe comes with a 3.0-liter M TwinPower Turbo inline flat-six engine, churning out 370 horsepower and 465 Nm of torque. This is enough to sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.3 seconds with a DCT and 4.5 seconds with the manual.

More than that, according to some recent reports, this lad here is also expected to come with some body styling new bits, including new front and rear spoilers, side sills, and new wheels, all signed by Hamann.

Until further news, take a look at the Hamann`s new rear muffler fitted on this gorgeous BMW M2 Coupe!

BMW M135i is long-gone but the top of the line model from the 1-Series still remains one of the most haunted down models. And the real proof stands the hundreds of customizations carried out by different tuning companies.

One example is this facelifted M135i xDrive version, the model receiving an impressive power boost courtesy to DS Automobile tuner. It involves the fitting of a Hamann power kit which raises the car`s stock power to a whole new level of performance.

So far, we are used to seeing a lot of BMW products receiving standout body kits, but this lad seen here looks pretty much the same as the factory version, besides some slight changes at the front and rear bumpers, along with the Hamann Anniversary Evo wheels.

The real deal is underneath the hood. In the stock version, the BMW M135i xDrive packs the famous N55 3.0-liter straight-six engine with M Performance TwinPower Turbo technology, good for 320 horsepower and 450 Nm of torque.

But with the Hamann power kit, this BMW M135i xDrive is now capable of delivering 360 horsepower, which is quite impressive if you asked me. We are not sure of the performance figures, but it will surely run the 0 to 100 km/h sprint in less the stock 4.8 seconds.

Honestly, I would have wanted to see more upgrades from DS Automobile, as they primarily deal with body styling customizations, and this model here could have looked better with some one-off styling cues. Perhaps the tuner will have the chance to fine-tune another M135i and we will surely be back with more details on that.

Hamann is considered one of the most famous tuners worldwide, providing exquisite tuning programs for hot models, and BMW carmaker is a regular custom.

We have seen many BMW M3s, M4s, 2- or 3-Series models receiving outstanding power kits and wide body kits, but we`ve rarely encountered any model fitting just a set of their wheels.

Recently, a mute video popping up on YouTube is showcasing this gorgeous Alpine White 2016 BMW M2 Coupe wearing the tuner`s 20-inch Anniversary Evo wheels, which make the model look extremely cool.

I am not sure why the mute video, but perhaps this might be a clear indication that the technicians have still a lot to say about the model, meaning a complete body kit and some increased performance figures under the hood, all coming in the near future.

So far, aside the one-off wheels, they can offer a two sets of pedal covers with the tuner`s logo in silver or black anodized aluminum as well as a LED door projector with the same logo.

As for the performance under the hood, we are also waiting for good news, with power to exceed 400 or 500 horsepower. If we look back at their custom M3s or M4s we can observe the impressive power output that is a custom job for Hamann. Long live Hamann!

Until further news, enjoy the mute video with the Hamann BMW M2 Coupe displaying its fine-looking Anniversary Evo wheels!

When two titans from tuning industry like Hamann and DS Automobile meet to customize the one-off F80 BMW M3, it means that hell gets loose.

And indeed, this gorgeous F80 BMW M3 has received the gentle touch of both tuning companies, which have installed an impressive power kit under the hood.

The stock F80 M3 comes fully packed with a 3.0-liter M TwinTurbo Power inline flat-six engine, with 431 horsepower and 500 Nm of torque. The power is sent to the rear wheels via a six-manual transmission, which makes the M3 sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in just 4.3 seconds.

The F80 BMW M3 can also be fitted with the optional seven-speed dual clutch, meaning that the same sprint is carried out in an astonishing 4.1 seconds, at a topping of an electronically limited 250 km/h.

But imagine what would happen with those performance figures if the M3 received a power boost underneath. And indeed, the sprint to 100 km/h is done just 4.0 seconds, with the model now developing 522 horsepower.

Besides the sheer performance, the F80 BMW M3 has also received some minor changes at the body style, including a front spoiler lip courtesy to Hamann, along with a rear diffuser, lower sports suspension and the 21-inch multi-spoke Anniversary Evo alloys. On the other side, DS Automobile contributed with the exterior white wrapping and other mechanical bits.

The German based Hamann tuner has been around for some time and has managed to impress us all with its plethora of fine tuning programs carried out on different BMW models. It was now the M2`s turn to get one of the tuner`s most outstanding aero kits.

Even if the 2016 BMW M2 Coupe is already coming with a plethora of M Performance Parts from the factory, which make it look extremely hot, the highlights that Hamann added on the car are making it more aggressive and extremely imposing.

The first thing that stands-out from the crowd is the one-off 20-inch ANNIVERSARY EVO alloy wheels, and even if some might classify the wheels as being too classy, I personally dig their styling and the way they shape the car`s overall attitude.

The Hamman body kit is made from carbon fiber and is visible on the car`s new front splitter, wide rear wing, flared arches and modified side skirts. The aggressive stance is also given by the new lowering springs and a few new touches inside the cabin.

Dealing with an M2 Coupe, we also expect some new upgrades under the hood as well, and Hamann has promised that it would come back with fresh details on that matter.

Meanwhile, just enjoy the 3.0-liter M Twin Power Turbo inline six-cylinder engine, with 370 horsepower and 50 Nm of torque, which is just enough to sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in just 4.3 seconds, at a topping of 250 km/h.

The post 2016 BMW M2 Coupe Looks Aggressive with the New Hamann Kit appeared first on BMWCoop | BMW Blog, BMW News, BMW Reviews.

The Swiss-based DS Automobile tuner has a real crush on BMW models, especially on the flagship X6M, the model recently receiving the special Hamman aero kit and a hefty dosage of power under the hood.

Now, the same technicians from the aftermarket shop has added another standout BMW X6M to their portfolio, this one being fitted with what they call a “stealth bomber” aero kit, adding as well a power boost under the hood.

The SUV`s matte gunmetal body wrap really makes it look like a real “stealthy aircraft” which goes hand-in-hand with the upgrade kit underneath its skin.

This BMW X6M is now packing some fine mods at the body, like custom fender flares, lowering springs which lower the SUV`s ride height, along with a new set of 22-inch Hamann Anniversary EVO black line alloy wheels, which makes it more aggressive and adds greater stance.

DS Automobile has not added a plethora of aero parts, as the model already looks extremely aggressive, with the same proportions to be kept under the hood as well.

We are dealing with the same Hamann power upgrade consisting of an updated engine software and exhaust system, which are just enough to raise the car`s power from 560 horsepower to a good 650 horsepower, all squeezed-out from the same 4.4-liter bi-turbo engine.

This would make it a good choice, both from a visual standpoint as well as from a performance point of view. DS Automobile has also released a photo gallery with their latest project, enjoy!

When dealing with heavy customizations under the hood of the BMW X5M and X6M, there are only two tuners crossing my mind at the moment: Hamann and G-Power, two of the most important from the tuning market competent enough to create the perfect upgrade kits.

And yes, this article involves another BMW X5M receiving a special Hamann power kit underneath its skin. The entire installation was carried out by the technicians from DS Automobile.

The BMW X5M is a big and mean German machine, big enough to intimidate everybody with its extremely aggressive bod style.

This one over here is a mean looking lad, especially with the black exterior and the Anniversary Evo alloy wheels, all finished in metallic black. Add up the flared arches and sports bumpers and you have the coolest one ever seen.

But the real beast is yet to be revealed, as the Hamann power kit brings this BMW X5M to a whole new level. The same 4.4-liter proudly sits underneath, ready to churn out a new 650 horsepower, quite massive from the stock 560 horsepower. We are not sure if the torque was also raised from 750 Nm of torque.

Again, the tuner wouldn’t offer the performance figures, but since in the stock version the SUV sprints from 0 to 100 km/h in just 4.2 seconds, we suspect at least 4.0 seconds with the Hamann power kit. The topping might be still stand at an electronically limited 250 km/h.

DS Automobile has also launched an impressive photo gallery with the Hamann BMW X5M in its plenitude, enjoy and don’t forget that your opinion does count to us!

The aftermarket specialists from the German-based Hamann tuner is making a come-back with their latest special tuning program carried out on the new-gen BMW X4.

This gorgeous BMW X4 is wearing the signature of Hamann on the body, the SAC standing out from the crowd with a one-off aero kit.

The X4 SAC is now looking sensational, thanks to the more prominent front spoiler, new rear spoiler and rear diffuser, wide rear wing, as well as the custom alloy wheels.

The rear end is also complemented by the quad-exhaust system, black headlights surrounds and the darkened grille.

Since we are dealing with an aftermarket shop mainly specialized in power upgrades, Hamann has also taken care of the SAC`s power under the hood. And all X4 versions can receive some extra ponies.

For instance, the xDrive20i and the 20d petrol versions can be upgraded to 208 horsepower and 184 Nm of torque, from the stock 184 horsepower, while the diesel can be had with 231 horsepower and 464 Nm of torque, from the standard 190 horsepower.

In case you own the top of the line xDrive28i or the 30d, then you can get a power boost to 313 horsepower and 675 Nm of torque, while the xDrive35i and 35d variants can receive a maximum of 348 horsepower and 381 horsepower, respectively.
