With the M5, BMW has undoubtedly built one of the fastest and most dynamic high-performance sedans of the luxury class in its range – and this applies not only to the lightweight special model – the M5 CS – presented at the beginning of 2021, but also to all variants of the current model generaton F90: at least 600 hp ensure breathtaking Performance, acceleraton to 100 km/h in less than 3.5 seconds and a top speed of up to 305 km/h. Signifcant increases are of course stll possible, as the BMW specialists at MANHART Performance prove. They saw a whole lot of unused potental in the M5 and have made it their business to bring it to light in an expert manner: The result is the MH5 800, which has now been unveiled in a partcularly sensatonal version. The additon to the name 800 is no coincidence, but, as usual at MANHART, the name gives a clear indicaton of the performance: The 4.4-liter twin-turbo V8 (S63) performance level was increased to a whopping 815 hp, the torque increased from a maximum of 750 Nm from factory now being up to 1,050 Nm. This was achieved with the help of a MANHART turbo performance kit, supplemented by an associated MANHART intercooler and a MANHART carbon intake. There is also a MANHART ECU remapping. This is rounded of by a complete MANHART exhaust system. The setup starts at the outlet of the Turbos and consists of “Race” downpipes without catalytc converters, stainless steel OPF-delete replacement pipes, a stainless steel rear silencer with valve control and four optonal carbon-coated or ceramic-coated tail pipes. The downpipes and the OPF replacement pipe, like the MANHART-OPF/GPFdeleter, do not have TÜV approval and are therefore only intended for export. In additon, the M5’s 8speed automatc transmission received a MANHART transmission upgrade. In terms of appearance, MANHART also implemented a number of customizatons: A set of H&R lowering springs not only lowered the body, but also optmized driving dynamics. In additon, the MH5 800 stands on a set of the well-known and proven MANHART Concave One light alloy wheels in mat black and size 9×21 front and 10.5×21 inches at the rear. The associated tres measure 265/30ZR21 and 305/25ZR21. The components of the carbon body kit ofer additonal accents to the package – a MANHART front spoiler, a MANHART difuser and a MANHART rear spoiler lip. While the MANHART vehicles are usually characterized by a decoratve stcker in gold or silver, the MH5 800 appears extraordinarily extravagant in this case: It has been given an efect flm in mat red metallic including a MANHART decoratve set in black. Last but not least, the interior was refned with a sky roof headliner composed of numerous small LEDs installed into the roof and a carbon upgrade in the form of decoratve elements and shif paddles on the steering wheel.
