Manhart MH5 900 based on the BMW 5 Series

German tuner Manhart is a master of improving the performance of German brands, especially BMW models. Their latest work is the Manhart MH5 900 based on the BMW 5 Series.

The MH5 900 is powered by a twin-turbocharged 4.4-liter V8 engine with 928 hp (692 kW) and 915 lb-ft (1,240 Nm) of torque. A significant increase in power has been achieved by the remapped ECU, compared to the standard BMW 5 which has 625 hp (466 kW) and 553 lb-ft (750 Nm) of torque. Power is sent to the rear wheels via a strengthened and recalibrated 8-speed automatic transmission. It is mounted on Concave One in Silk Matt Black 21″ wheels wrapped in 275/30ZR21 front and 295/30ZR21 rear high-performance tires.

The car is finished in blue with two golden stripes on the sides. It is equipped with in-house aerodynamic and stylish carbon fiber parts such as the front spoiler, the kidney-shaped radiator grille, a two-part front apron insert and a pair of canards on the front apron, carbon bonnet in CS style, two-piece side skirts and side inserts, two-part roof spoiler above the rear windscreen, rear spoiler, rear diffuser, and exterior mirror caps.

Inside, the carbon fiber basket seats are upholstered in brown leather while the headlining was refined with soft Alcantara. There are matching floor mats and Alkantara roof, the interior is completed by MANHART Dataview display and sky roof.

Better handling and agility are ensured by coilover springs by KW Suspensions, while the optionally available MANHART coilover suspension Variant 4 from KW suspension guarantees even more driving dynamics. For safe braking and stopping, the powerful and stable carbon-ceramic brake system from the M5 has been retained.

MANHART MH2 700 based on the BMW M2 Competition

German tuner Manhart is among the best if not the best when it comes to German sports cars, and their latest creation is the MANHART MH2 700 based on the BMW M2 Competition.

This is not the first time that Manhart calls its car MH2, because in early 2022 we saw the MH2 630 also based on the M2 Competition. However, unlike that model, this time the car got more power but also some better technical and aerodynamic solutions.

This MH2 700 is covered in black livery with mint green details. It is equipped with carbon components such as a CS-style bonnet, front spoiler, side skirts, a rear spoiler lip, a diffuser, and a Clubsport rear wing. There are also stainless steel exhaust system with valve control, 4 x 100 mm MANHART tailpipes in matte black, MANHART Race downpipes, MANHART OPF Delete replacement pipes made of stainless steel including 300-cell catalytic converters, front six-piston callipers on 395×34 mm discs and rear four-piston callipers on 380×30 mm discs.

Inside, there are Recaro Sportster CS seats, a MANHART Clubsport roll bar, mint green accents and an AWRON auxiliary display.

Under the hood is a 3.0-liter biturbo engine with 715 hp (526 kW) and 601 lb-ft (815 Nm) of torque. As a reminder, the M2 Competition is powered by the same engine but with 410 hp (302 kW) and 406 lb-ft (550 Nm) of torque, and the power has been increased thanks to a whole series of hardware optimizations and ECU remapping. It is mounted on matte black 20″ Concave One wheels wrapped in 255/30 ZR20 and 295/25 ZR20 tires.

The cost of the upgrade is unknown.

Manhart Alpina 2002 TII based on the BMW 2002 Tii

Between 1971 and 1975, BMW produced the Touring version of the 02 Series, the 2002 Tii, as the replacement for the 2002 ti. Now this model was the basis for the third modified car of Manhart’s Classic Cars department, the Manhart Alpina 2002 TII.

The Alpina 2002 TII is powered by a front-mounted 2.0-liter M10 4-cylinder engine with 200 hp (147 kW) and 159 lb-ft (215 Nm) of torque. As a reminder, the 2002 Tii has 130 hp (96 kW) and 131 lb-ft (178 Nm) of torque. Power increase was done by installing K&N airbox and ALPINA engine tuning with EMU Classic ECU. The engine is paired with a BMW E21 323i 5-speed manual transmission.

The tuner installed Raab coilover suspension by KW for sporty handling, Wiechers strut for more body stiffness, 25-mm spacers front and rear, ALPINA wheel arch extensions, brake system of a 323i model from the successor series E21, MANHART exhaust system, single gas system and distributor from ALPINA, and original 16″ ALPINA rims with 215/40R16 and 225/40R16 tires.

This car is finished in Agave Green with light green and silver decorative stripes over the body, and lettering of the characteristic ALPINA decal set. Inside, sports seats by Scheel are upholstered in black fabric with bright green and blue stripes, and there is also a Clubsport roll bar at the rear.
