Leave a comment

After BMW revealed the new generation of the X3 M Competition, the powerful SUV quickly became the project of many tuners. Among them is the best when it comes to cars from the Bavarian manufacturer, which presented the Manhart MHX3 650 based on the BMW X3 M Competition.

Like most Manhart projects, the MHX3 650 is painted black but without the stripes that we can see on some of their cars. It is equipped with a carbon aerodynamic kit that includes a front spoiler and side skirts with fins, a roof spoiler and a rear diffuser. There are also big bright red calipers on the factory fitted M Compound braking system, MANHART lowering springs from H&R which lower the car by about 30 millimeters and ensure better cornering, stainless steel exhaust with valve control, MANHART sports tailpipes with 200 cellular HJS catalysts and four 100 mm carbon-coated tailpipes. Ceramic coated exhaust pipes are optional.

The interior is also equipped with carbon fiber details such as steering wheel spokes and shift paddles.

When it comes to the powertrain, thanks to the upgrade of the MHtronik auxiliary control unit, the 3.0 liter in-line six cylinder engine now has 650 hp (485 kW) and 590 lb-ft (800 Nm) of torque. Power is sent to all wheels via an 8-speed M Steptronic transmission. As a reminder, the standard X3 M Competition has 510 hp (380 kW) and 479 lb-ft (650 Nm) of torque. It is mounted on 22″ Multispoke wheels wrapped in 255/35ZR22 and 295/30ZR22 tires.

Manhart MH2 GTR II 01 OF 01 based on the BMW M2 G87

Manhart is a wizard when it comes to tuning BMW cars, and their latest work is the MH2 GTR II 01 OF 01. It is based on the BMW M2 G87, the last generation of this model powered by an ICE.

At the beginning of February Manhart has introduced its first project based on this model, the MANHART MH2 560, finished the car in a traditional black color with a decal set in matte gray/blue that goes from the front mask over the hood and roof to the rear spoiler . However, this time Manhart offers more carbon components such as accessories on the hood, kidney grille, front bumper inserts and front spoiler, as well as a champagne-colored MANHART decal set.

Manhart also offers a new diffuser (made by Alpha-N), spoiler lip and a large fixed rear wing, side skirts, mirror caps from the M Performance parts program, and Manhart Variant 4 coilover suspension by KW Suspensions, which improves handling on the track. There’s also a sports downpipe, HJS catalytic converters, a stainless steel system with valve control and four 100mm matte black tailpipes. Inside, the rear seats were removed and a champagne-colored roll bar, Schroth seat belts and floor mats were added.

When it comes to the powertrain, the MH2 GTR II 01 OF 01 is far more powerful than previous projects. Under the bonnet is still the 3.0-liter S58 inline-six engine with 715 hp (533 kW) and 627 lb-ft (850 Nm) of torque. As a reminder, the standard M2 has 453 hp (333 kW) and the MH2 560 has 560 hp (418 kW). The increase in power was achieved with a new high-performance carbon intake and exhaust system and remapping of the ECU unit. It’s mounted on a set of 20″ Raffa Wheels RFS-02 Forged Series wheels wrapped in 285/30 and 305/25 tires.
