Hamann Motorsports is a German tuning company that specializes in BMW, Land Rover and Ferrari. That first one is the one we’re interested in, obviously.

What Hamann have been involved into recently is the improvement of the GT variant of the BMW 5 Series.

In particular they’ve focused on one version that is most likely to sell due to it’s engine, the 530d and what they’ve come up with something quite un-Hamann-ish as the car is better but surprisingly discrete.

Hamann’s 5 series GT gets the following modifications: a new suspension setup across the range, functional front and rear spoilers, side skirts and then there’s a special rear apron destined to house Hamann’s new mufflers. The 530d version of Hamann’s BMW GT is also getting some reprogramming for its Motronic system in order to obtain an extra 30 horsepower and you know get 275 horsepower and an alarmingly large amount of torque numbered in at 457 lb-ft.

The discrete looks don’t really fit with the wheels as they seem to be a bit of a show off fest. It’s still a Hamann after all and there is no problem with getting something like a 550i GT.

Another interestingly discrete thing about the 5 series GT from Hamann is the press release as the German tuning company clearly states that what you get with your 5 series GT exactly what you would get with your BMW 5 series GT just that it’s a bit tuned up.

Hamann has always been a tuning company that took lary versions of BMW cars, particularly M division and gave them more.  Of everything.

Well, they’ve recently announced that their next target is the Z4M (E89) and what they have in stock for this car is nothing short of spectacular.

First things first, no tuning job is ever really there until there’s a new set that consists of a front bumper (in this here beast it features integrated LEDs), side skirts, a spoiler, and rear apron. Boring right? Well, not really, it makes the handsome Z4M look like it’s no longer sporty, more like menacing.

If however you find this is not enough, how about a very special set of wheels, 20-inch forged Edition Race Matte Black. Now you’re talking, you’re E89 Z4 is unlike any other at the lights.

However, there’s also a bit of go to match the show, Hamann have fitted a new exhaust system and did some electronic fettling with the ECU. The end result is that the engine now produces 360 horsepower, it has a peak torque of 398 lb/ft and with this sort of power needs to be shown off. So no restrictor it is, the car now has a top speed of 177 mph.

There’s a bit of retouching done to the interior, but do you really care?
