MANHART MH7 400d

The tuning specialists at MANHART Performance are partcularly well known for their powerful
interpretatons of top models from BMW M GmbH and other premium manufacturers. But of
course, they are equally adept at refning less obvious vehicles that are blessed with somewhat
less power in stock conditon. This is proven, for example, by this new creaton, the MANHART
MH7 400d.
As the name suggests, the basis in this case is a specimen of BMW’s 7 Series luxury sedan. More
precisely, a representatve of the G11 series. It’s not one of the powerful gasoline top versions à la
750i, or even M760Li, but rather a 740d xDrive. MANHART have pushed the output and maximum
torque of its 3.0-liter inline six-cylinder turbodiesel engine from the standard 320 hp and 680 Nm,
to a whopping 405 hp and 790 Nm. This was achieved by using an in-house ECU remapping, in
conjuncton with the MANHART Turbo Performance kit, including a turbocharger upgrade. The
eight-speed automatc transmission also received an upgrade. In this case, however, the exhaust
system remained in its standard conditon. However, MANHART can also realize individual tuning
confguratons in this respect on request. The same applies to the brake system and the interior.
The exterior appearance of the large BMW sedan has also been extensively revised: The lowering
of the factory air suspension by about 20-30 millimeters, which ensures an even more dynamic
appearance, was achieved by MANHART through the use of new coupling rods. In additon,
MANHART Venturi alloy wheels in the lush dimensions of 10×22 and 11×22 inches now sit in the
wheel arches – perfectly aligned with the fender edges with the help of 15 mm H&R track plates.
While the fnish is basically black, a trim line in gold runs around the rim edge. The mounted tres
measure 265/30R22 and 295/25R22 respectvely. Further sporty accents are set by a carbon
spoiler lip on both the front apron and the trunk lid. Last but not least, the MANHART trim set with
its characteristc decoratve stripes and letering, which run across the entre body, is also
downright obligatory.
