Hartge has published a video with their tuned BMW M550d xDrive Touring F11. The mighty diesel is doing several accelerations from 80 km/h to 200 km/h. It is really impressive, what a big station-wagon can do on the highway.

It delivers 381HP (280 kW) and 740Nm (546 lb-ft) of torque. 0-100 km/h in 4.7 seconds and a top speed of 250 km/h (155 mph) – electronically limited. The fuel economy is just 6.3 liters per 100 km.

Hartge H35d

Hartge has introduced the new H35d, which is based on the latest 5-Series – the F10 model. The German tuner, which is also officially certified as a manufacturer like Alpina gave to the 5-Series F10, what it exactly needed – individuality, aggressiveness and better performance.

The mighty six-cylinder twin-turbocharged diesel engine is boosted to a nice 354PS (260 kW) and 700Nm (516 lb-ft) of torque, instead of factory’s 300PS (220 kW) and 600Nm (442 lb-ft). Also the max torque comes at just 1800RPM, so driving is a real pleasure. Despite its higher performance, the Hartge H35d still falls in the “green” area of the planned German ecological seal with a CO2 emission of 162 g/km, which means that it complieswith EURO 5 standard.

The car also received sports suspension, which lowers with 30mm and the brand’s Classic 2 wheel set – ten-spoke wheels in dimensions 8.5J x 21” ET34 up front and 9.5J x 21” ET55 at the rear fitted with 255/30 ZR 21 and 295/25 ZR21, respectively. The stance is unique – check out the first picture!

Hartge H35d also boasts stainless-steel rear silencer with dual round tail pipes with 80 mm diameter, bon casings for the exterior mirrors, matt-silver stripes, a set of emblems for the bonnet and boot lid, as well as a discrete Hartge insignia.

The interior comes with a threespoke sports leather steering wheel with a Hartge emblem in aluminium, a carbon steering-wheel cover, a two-piece set of aluminium pedals for the automatic transmission, stainless-steel sill covers front and rear and black velour foot and boot mats.

So, the performance is much better than the original version – 0 to 100 km/h in 5.2 seconds. The top speed is still limited to 250 km/h (155 mph). However, Hartge will soon be able to remove that “nasty” limiter.

Hartge BMW 6-Series F12

Hartge has announced that they are preparing a tuning program for the latest BMW 6-Series Convertible (F13). The tuning company didn’t reveal any further information about the project, but as we can see on the pictures, the vehicle won’t get any huge spoilers or bright paint.

The upgrades will include a new sports exhaust system, lowering springs kit, which will reduce the stance of F13 with 30 mm at the front and 25 mm and the rear.

Hartge 6-Series stands on 19” or 21” alloy wheels in the well know design of the tuner.

The interior will receive aluminum Hartge pedals, floor mats with logos and a Hartge emblem on the steering wheel.

As we know, Hartge do some crazy things like putting the mighty 507PS V10 S85B50 from M5 E60 into E90. Hopefully, they do the same, but putting the brutal twin-turbocharged V12 with 544PS and massive 750Nm. It would be madness, but the fans will definitely like it!

Stay tuned for more information about HARTGE F13.
