BMW M3 and M4 – a new Manhart project

The BMW M3 and M4 are a new Manhart project. These are sports cars that have kept only the front grille compared to the previous model.

Manhart is currently developing new carbon aerodynamic parts such as the hood, front splitter, rear spoiler, and the diffuser.

The standard twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter engine will produce 600 hp. By installing the MANHART MHtronik Powerbox, engine power is increased to approximately 620 hp and 750 Nm of torque. Cat-back and OPF-back exhaust systems with twin carbon tailpipes are offered.

For better cornering control, there are lowering springs manufactured by H&R. Both models also feature 21-inch Concave One forged wheels, 265 / 30R21tyres on the front and 305 / 25R21 tires on the rear axle. Rims can have a Manhart gold stripe as an option.

All of the above includes Phase 1. Phase 2 is expected at the end of the year, when Manhart will take the M3 and M4 to the next level.
