Many power SUVs offer a power potential these days which was reserved for the super sports car
elite just a few years ago. As we all know, you can never have enough power! For example,
owners of the BMW X5 M Competition of the current F95 series, who want a little more oomph
than the standard 625 hp and 750 Nm, are at exactly the right address, with the specialists from
MANHART Performance. If required, they can transform the most powerful X5 into their MHX5
700.
The number 700 immediately shows unmistakably what’s on offer. After all, at MANHART it
traditionally stands for performance. In fact, it’s a bit of an understatement, because the 4.4-liter V8
generates 730 hp and 900 Nm here. This is achieved either by installing the MANHART MHtronik
auxiliary control unit, or by ECU remapping. The MHX5 700 also features the MANHART stainless
steel exhaust system, with valve control. If desired, this can be connected via race downpipes
without catalytic converters, which, however, just like the stainless steel OPF-Delete replacement
pipes and the OPF/GPF Deleter, which are also available, do not have TÜV approval and are thus
only suitable for export.
While the example of the MHX5 700 presented herewith counters the forward momentum with its
factory high-performance braking system, optional individual upgrades are configurable upon
request. The MAHNART suspension optimization, including lowering by H&R springs, further
ensures improved driving dynamics and a more crouched appearance.
MANHART also gives the MHX5 700 a noticeably more striking appearance. On the one hand, the
SUV stands on satin black Concave One wheels in 10.5×22 inches, with gold rim decoration and
tires in the dimensions 295/30ZR22. On the other hand, it wears a complete MANHART body kit
made of carbon. The nose flaunts a hood with GTR air intakes and a front spoiler. The side line is
refined, with exterior mirror caps and two-piece sills. Last but not least, the rear is adorned with a
two-piece spoiler and a diffuser. Finally, the styling is rounded off by a typical MANHART decal set,
with gold trim strips applied to the black bodywork.
For interior refinement, MANHART offers shift paddles, as well as a steering wheel spoke trim
made of carbon and embroidered floor mats.
