When it comes to heavy BMW customizations, Manhart tuner from Germany is my favourite. They recreate distinctive power upgrades, however, in the last years they have also created special aero programs for all sorts of models.

We have had the pleasure of telling you about many BMW M2s, M3s, M4s or some from the X lineup, all featuring spectacular aftermarket body parts or impressive upgrades under the hood. And I will always keep updating you about any new projects Manhart will be carrying out on a BMW model.

Today we have the opportunity of telling you about the below BMW M4, the gorgeous M4 with good looks and extraordinary performance, which has received a new power module and a couple of new mechanical stuffs.

The whole project is called MH4 550 and comprises some new ‘’toys’’ which make the model more powerful. We are dealing here with a carbon fiber intake system in-house built by Eventuri tuner, and which increases the engine soundtrack and adds more power. With the new exhaust in one place, the tuner also added new cat-less downpipes which help the gas to exit into the Manhart muffler system with a custom piping. And there is of course, the new ECU remapping, also helpful in boosting the power.

Speaking of power, the BMW M4 by Manhart is equipped with the famous S55 3.0-liter twin-turbo in-line six-cylinder engine, developing 331 kW and 550 Nm of torque. However, with the new systems installed, this lad here is capable of 405 kW and a staggering 820 Nm of torque. Performance figures haven’t been provided, but given the standard 4.3 seconds from 0 to 100 km/h, we expect this lad manage at least 3.9 seconds.

Other technicalities refer to KW Variant 3 coil-overs and new high-performance wheels with wide tires, all increasing the car`s stance and stability. At the exterior, the model is tweaked with M Performance Parts, all made from carbon fiber. The most important ones refer to M Performance front spoiler, M Performance rear diffuser and new bonnet with GTR vents.

As for interior adjustments, the technicians from Manhart have fitted a red roll cage and Recaro bucket seats, while the rear seats have been removed to make the car lighter. There is also the M Performance Alcantara on the steering wheel and black Alcantara seats for a more luxurious feel.

The Manhart and the 2016 BMW M2 Coupe duo is back into the spotlights, both names being involved in a new love affair that seems to consolidate their strong relationship.

Don’t worry, it`s not a real romance, it`s just the German tuner`s dedication towards BMW`s most astonishing sports car at the moment – the BMW M2 Coupe – that baby M that brought back the smile on our face.

We are well-familiar with Manhart`s plenty of customizations brought on the gorgeous 2016 BMW M2 Coupe, and each one is as exciting as it can be in its pure form. And the technicians haven’t let us down this time as well, as they managed to create one of the most powerful M2s, so powerful that it now develops more power than a Lamborghini Huracan.

Designed to be extremely aerodynamic and equipped with a powerful engine under the hood, the M2 suddenly becomes that bimmer which is impressively easy to be transformed into something unique. The tuner did that by adding new stuff under the hood.

We are looking here at a specially prepared power kit, which involves the fitting of new intercooler and upgraded turbo, along with bespoke sports exhaust system, KW suspension system, updated brakes and so on.

With the new mechanics, our M2 Coupe is now capable of delivering a mind-blowing 630 horsepower and 750 Nm of torque, all squeezed from the same 3.0-liter inline six-cylinder engine.

Besides the power kit, Manhart have also added a few styling tweaks at the exterior and inside, including a carbon fiber front splitter, side skirts, hood and rear wing. The overall design is complemented with the 19-inch Manhart Concave One wheels with Michelin Cup 2 tires, measuring 255/35 and 285/30 front and rear. The cabin is also highlighted by Alcantara with gold stitching interior, Recaro seats and so on.

And with the recent introduction of the 2016 BMW M2 Coupe on the market, the technicians from Manhart have made a habit out of playing with this gorgeous and unique model.

All tweaked with the M Performance parts both at the exterior as well as inside, and especially under the hood, this one seen here is even more appealing to the eye with the tuner`s special ingredients.

This special project is dubbed the “MH2 630” and represents the tuner`s tribute of 30 years of existence on the market. The particular M2 was previewed last year in the first renderings, but now we have the first pictures with the model.

Unfortunately, there isn’t much to tell about the car`s specifications, but judging from the pictures, the model is coming with a fine and standout body kit, consisting of carbon fiber components on the hood, front splitter, or padded intakes.

The gold body wrap, which resembles to BMW Individual`s Sunburst Gold metallic paint as well as the new wheels, are making this M2 more exotic and extremely hot in the eyes of the beholders.

And since we are talking about Manhart, there is more to come under the hood, where we are expecting some fine tunes as well, around 630 horsepower, all squeezed out from the hardcore 3.0-liter six-straight turbo engine. Until the car is complete, feel free to enjoy the first batch of photos with the BMW M2 MH2 630 by Manhart!

The topping stands at 315 km/h.

All the power is achievable thanks to the new engine software, stainless steel sport mufflers with valve control, or custom exhaust system. The entire power kit costs 7,500 euros.

All BMW fans are already acquainted with the sheer of power that the F10 BMW M5 is coming with, the high-end model being seen in a lot of drive tests, drag races and other impressive photo galleries wearing different body wraps and customized wheels. And when the Manhart Racing tuner decides to grab the M5 for some power upgrades, the result is purely amazing.

Just close your eyes and imagine the power that equips the stock F10 BMW M5 and figure out how much extra horses have the aftermarket specialists from Manhart added up underneath its skin?

If you want, we will do this exercise together. 4.4-liter V8 turbo petrol diesel, packing 560 horsepower and 680 Nm of torque, between 1,500 rpm – 5,750 rpm, hooked to an automatic seven-speed with a sequential mode. This would be enough to sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.2 seconds.

Now, imagine what the F10 BMW M5 can do from the same 0 to 100 km/h with the new power kit, which makes it produce 710 horsepower and 860 Nm of torque, and even if the tuner has not received any info with the figures, we might conclude that it would be way below 4.0 seconds.

But you`d better sit tight and press the play button with the video with is showcasing the F10 BMW M5 with the impressive power and torque, provided by Manhart Racing tuner!

In fact, Manhart started the tuning program on this BMW i8 last year, the tuner wouldn’t reveal back then all the ingredients that made it look the way it looks right now. And as we can depict from the photos, the BMW`s first plug-in hybrid does look quite sensational.

The first thing that makes it a real standout model is the car`s paintjob, which abounds with black and orange accents, giving it a more aggressive look, also thanks to the new set of Manhart alloy wheels, finished in the same black. Other interesting body parts refer to the smoked lights or the gloss black kidney grilles.

No sign of any performance upgrades, the BMW i8 packing the 1.5-liter three-cylinder hooked to a 6-speed automatic transmission, which sends the power to the rear, and backed up by an electric motor which is adds up more thrust to the front wheels.

The overall power of 362 horsepower makes the BMW i8 sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in just 4.4 seconds, which is an outstanding performance, sending the i8 high above other important sports cars.
