The BMW German based luxury automaker has decided to partner with the famous aftermarket specialist Hartge to make some upgrades to the 2-Series lineup concerning the exterior as well as the performance.

If you are the lucky owner of a 2-Series car and would like to upgrade your ride, just head on to Hartge specialist and let them customize it the way they do it.

Hartge will put some new sports spring sets, which will make the car lower with around 30mm at the front as well as with 10 mm at the rear.

More than that, Hartge will also include the logos to the car, the black wheel caps, the floor mats or the tire repair kit.
Upgrades will also concern the engine lineup, meaning that both the gasoline and the diesel engines will get these goodies.

In the 218d for instance, the power will be upgraded up to 174 horses and 380 Nm of torque, compared to the present 143 horsepower and 320 Nm of torque.

The BMW 2-Series 220d will also get more powerful, as it will receive 218 horsepower and massive 450 Nm of torque, while the 225d gets an output of 258 horses and 530 Nm of torque.

The last but not the least 220i version will receive 184 horses and 270 Nm of torque.

It is true that the all-new BMW 3 Series has been in the spotlight in the last two weeks and this is why we will talk right now about another new model in the range, the sixth generation BMW 5 Series, also known as F10. The German manufacturer, Hartge, prepared a complete tuning package for the BMW 535d, a model equipped with a 3.0-liter turbodiesel unit offering 300 horsepower. After few modifications, the Hartge H35d (as this is the name of the modified 5 Series) is able to deliver 354 horses and 700 Nm of torque.

On the other hand, the exterior appearance is improved by a new set of 21-inch ten-spoke alloy wheels along with new carbon fiber housings for the side mirrors.

“Chosen by the readers of a renowned specialist magazine as the most sporting car of 2011 in the diesel category, the Hartge H35d is distinguished by an exhilarating performance. Hartge, an important manufacturer of BMW-based sports cars for 40 years, has coaxed a massive 354 hp (260 kW) at 3400 rpm from the 535d (F10),” said Hartge

Other improvements include a new suspension system with sport springs able to lower the ground clearance by around 30 mm along a new exhaust system with 80 mm tailpipes. At the interior, Hartge offers new trim packages along with stainless-steel door sills and aluminum pedals.

Russian tuning companies may have taken a liking for the BMW X6, after the guys at Met-R and their Interceptor kit, a new package is available for it.

The creation belongs to a Moscow-based tuning shop entitled Status Design and it brings an interesting approach to the X6.

Unlike most Russian design concepts, the Status Design kit can be put on your BMW X6 without fear that you kids will be afraid of the car every time they look out the window. Getting past the basics, let’s take a closer look at the new show and go.

The exterior package features a body kit, a carbon fiber roof spoiler, front bumper with LED daytime running lights, some carbon trim for the window surrounds and mirror covers. Round at the back there’s a new rear bumper that accommodates a pair of dual tail pipes and a carbon fiber diffuser. Then there’s a set of 22-inch alloy wheels from Hartge which accentuate the detailing done on the overall aesthetics.

Moving on to what’s under the bonnet we find the BMW X6’s factory turbocharged 3 liter straight-six engine but with a bit of added “schnell” comes from a remmaped ECU, a sport exhaust system and sport air filter, all of which come together for a boost of power bringing the total up to 380 horsepower.

The package is pretty tasty and since Status Design haven’t released pricing details we’re not scared yet.
