Manhart carbon equipment kits for BMW X5M and X6M

Manhart is one of the world’s best tuners, especially when it comes to BMW models. This time, the German tuning company has prepared carbon equipment kits for BMW SUV models X5M and X6M. These are refreshed editions that arrived on the market last year, and which, thanks to Manhart, now look better and have more power.

SUVs from the Bavarian manufacturer received more aggressive looking hoods, a front spoiler, inserts in the middle section and on the sides of the front bumper, details of the rear bumper, two spoilers one each on the roof and tailgate, as well as accessories for the fenders and rear bumper , and sports thresholds.

When it comes to the powertrain, the standard X5M is powered by a 4.4-liter twin-turbo V8 engine making 625 hp (460 kW) and 553 lb-ft (750 Nm) of torque. Now thanks to improvements, this model has a whopping 800 hp (596 kW).

Carbon parts not only improve the appearance, but also improve aerodynamics and reduce the weight of the model. Customers can attach the components with adhesives or screws.

1960 Porsche 356B Super 90 is up for auction

All examples of Porsche’s first production car, regardless of version, are extremely sought after and fetch high prices at auctions. Even those that have been converted into race cars like this 1960 Porsche 356B Super 90 coupe that is up for auction.

This 356B Super 90 is powered by a FAT Performance-sourced 2,650cc flat-four that was installed two years ago. During the work on the car, a 911-specification cooling fan, dual Weber carburetors, and a Vintage Speed stainless-steel exhaust were installed, and this year the wiring harness and fuel tank were replaced. The engine is mated to a replacement four-speed manual transmission that sends power to the rear wheels. It is mounted on Minilite 15″ wheels wrapped in 205/60 Yokohama Avid Ascend tires.

The car left the factory in Heron Gray and at the beginning of the century, Emory Motorsports converted it into a racing car, and repainted it in a shade of blue. The fenders have been removed, and the equipment includes LED teardrop taillights, mirrors faired into the fenders, white roundels, outlaw-style door handles, leather bonnet straps, Koni Classic shocks, four-wheel disc brakes, and an Emory Outlaw badge on the decklid.

Inside, Fibersteel Speedster-style bucket seats, trimmed in black with blue plaid inserts, are mounted on powder-coated GT frames. The upper part of the dash and the door panels are covered in red leather, while the metal surfaces are finished in blue. In front of the driver are a leather-wrapped four-spoke steering wheel and a five-digit odometer showing 24,668 miles (total mileage unknown). Additional equipment includes Simpson lap belts, a roll bar, and a Compass Industries stopwatch in front of the Emory-fabricated shifter housing.

The car comes with a Porsche Certificate, service records, and a clean Arizona title listing the car as a 1961 model.

The auction ends on March 12 and the highest bid at the time of writing was $165,000 USD.
