Manhart MH1 BMW 1-Series M135i – 405HP and 560Nm

Manhart Racing has revealed their latest tuning project called MH1 and based on the BMW 1-Series M135i. The latest 1-Series is rather ugly, but Manhart has managed to make it a little more pleasant to look.

The tuning package includes styling and performance upgrades as well. The 3.0 liter six-cylinder turbocharged engine is boosted to 405HP (298 kW) and 560Nm (413 lb-ft) – an increase of 85HP and 110Nm. The result is thanks to an additional control unit and a complete sports exhaust system.

The exterior boasts an aggressive matt black foil wrap and some yellow accents on the side skirts, bumper blades and brake calipers, which by the way are 8-piston at the front and 4-piston at the rear with 380x32mm discs generating extreme stopping power. There are also new alloy wheels – 8.5J x 19” at the front and 9.5J x 19” at the rear fitted with Michelin Super Sport tires. Last, but not least is the KW Clubsport coilover suspension offering perfect stance and handling and a Quaife LSD (a mechanical limited-slip differential).

The interior comes with a nice combination of leather and Alcantara upholstery matching the exterior in black and yellow colors. There are also BMW Performance seats.

Manhart Show Off The MH6 700 BMW M6

Manhart-MH6-700-BMW-M6-shadow Manhart-MH6-700-BMW-M6-medium Manhart have finally unveiled their MH6 700 BMW M6. It has been out, actually, ever since the 46th Essen Motor Show opened its doors earlier this month. Funny how some manage to slip under the radar.

The M6’s original 4.4-liter V8 with its 560 hp is in no way a slouch, but Manhart have gone the extra… several miles and amped the power up to 734 hp (because who cares about consistent naming, MH6 700?) and 953 Nm. Essentially, that means ECU tweaking, a carbon-air-intake-system and a completely new exhaust system with downpipes, sports catalytic converters and rear silencers with 100-millimeter end-pipes. Manhart say that the end result is a BMW so powerful that it is actually hard to estimate a 0 to 60 time since there’s little to no grip off the line. We don’t know how that’s a plus. Acceleration from 60 to 120 gets done in 6.3 seconds though. The top speed stands at 199 mph.

In an attempt to tame all that power, Manhart have provided a compression- and rebound-adjustable KW coilover kit. The massive Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires – measuring 265/30ZR21 at the front and 305/25ZR21 at the back – should be of help as well.

The visual treat that is the MH6 700 M6 is courtesy to the company’s Concave ONE wheels. You may have noticed that there’s also a front spoiler, a new engine hood with big vents on it, a diffusor at the back and a trunk-lid spoiler. Every bit of that kit is carbon fiber. This specific vehicle has a very subtle Manhart “seal of approval” so to speak on each of its sides. It’s an embossing effect on the full-body aluminum metallic wrap.

Manhart Racing BMW E92 335i – Engine Conversion

Manhart Racing has released some pictures and details for their latest project based on BMW E92 335i. A facelifted version powered by N55 3.0 liter twin scroll-turbo I6 with 306HP (225 kW) and 400Nm (295 lb-ft) of torque has been converted to N54, which is basically the same engine but with different turbochargers.

Of course, the engine is going to have a MHR Stage 5 Power Upgrade. This boosts the N54 to over 500HP (368 kW). This will happen thanks to a number of upgrades.

A stock 335i accelerates from 0-100 km/h in 5.6 seconds and has a top speed of 250 km/h (155 mph) – electronically limited. After the tuning, the expected acceleration will be around 4.5 seconds and top speed of over 300 km/h. This turns the regular coupe to a real sports car.

The noble Stealth Fighter: Manhart BMW M5 MH5 S Biturbo

Manhart BMW M5 MH5 S Biturbo is a reworked version of the current BMW M5 by the performance specialists of Manhart Racing. They have equipped it with MH5 S Biturbo, which makes the vehicle visually and technically more impressive than ever before.

The goal was to turn the M5 into a lightweight racing car through reducing every single gram possible. What helped is the in-house aerodynamic components of the MH5 S Biturbo, which are made of ultra-light and high-strength carbon.

The front fascia of the BMW is decorated with an MHR front spoiler, whose rear counterpart is found in an MHR rear diffuser and rear spoiler as well. In addition, the engine hood was manufactured with integrated GTR air intake systems, again – made of carbon.

All in all, the whole body was eventually covered in a full grey-matt metallic wrapping with decorative MHR stripes. And this is the reason why the other name of the project is „The noble Stealth Fighter“ – it definitely look very similar to the famous air machine.

The visual stance of the BMW is further enhanced by the MHR08 Deep Concave by ADV.1 wheels. They sit perfectly in terms of dimensions and design. In particular, the three-part rims of sizes 9.5 x 21 inches were added to the front and the 10.5 x 21 inches are added to the rear. They were covered by high-performance tires of the dimensions 265/30ZR21 and 305/25ZR21, respectively.

An installation of the fully adjustable MHR by KW Clubsport chassis frame ensures that all wheels constantly have the optimal road contact. The chassis frame in fact can be adjusted additionlly and separately in compression. Moreover, Manhart also created performance-optimized racing drive-shaft support systems.

The software and the periphery of the 4.4 litre Biturbo driving mechanism were additionally reworked. The result is the impressive number of 646 horsepower (475 kW) and the maximum torque of 773 Nm (570 lb-ft). Thanks to this and to the removal of the electronic speed retarder, the vehicle now has a top speed of 316 km/h.

MHR Carbon Air Intake System added plays a crucial role as well. It boosts performance as well as gives the engine compartment an extremely enticing outward appearance. The MHR sporty end-silencer made of high-grade steel with two 90 millimetre twin tail pipes right and left respectively, gives the Biturbo-V8 a catchy and an exceedingly impressive “voice”.
