mwerks.com Industry News HAMANN, the car tuner from Laupheim, Germany, is now expanding its product range for the BMW 5 Series E60/61 with attachments for vehicles with the M aerodynamics package. Besides the aerodynamics components, HAMANN also offers other conversion measures. Diesel drivers can expect major performance increases. Up to 350 HP is possible!
Anyone who orders an E60/E61 with the M aerodynamics package (part of the M sports package from the BMW range of products) will find the matching additional aerodynamics components at HAMANN. The front is given especially impressive lines through the competition front spoiler, which reduces the lift. It fits into the M lines perfectly. The classical BMW markings, the double-kidneys, can be masked with a HAMANN kidney cover, which discretely highlights the sportier look. A pair of HAMANN side skirts provides optical lowering on one hand, and furthermore, they ensure a more impressive side view that what is provided by the smooth side profile. As an optical counterweight to the front spoiler, there is a HAMANN spoiler for the rear (not for the estate) where it is responsible for reducing lift. If you order a HAMANN 4-pipe, muffler rear section, you should also order a rear styling conversion kit with an integrated diffuser at the same time to have the right look. The 5 series is given the final touch by the HAMANN sports mirror (for left-hand-drive up to year of construction 08/2005), which is electrically controlled and heated, or also hinged as an option.
20-inch wheels fit perfectly with the modified 5-Series. HAMANN offers the "Edition Race" design as the top model. The look of the three-section, ultra-light, forged rims with the cross-spoke design and a black rim star is characterized by the 9 main spokes, which each branch outwards into 2 others. Besides the exciting design, the titanium screw joints stand out in particular. The icing on the cake of the exquisite look is the mirror-finished rim flange. Besides the "Edition Race" wheel, HAMANN offers other of its own creations in the form of the wheel models "PG3" and "Anniversary I". Typical wheel/tire combinations: 9 J x 20 (front), 10.5 J x 20 (rear) / 245/30ZR 20, 285/25 ZR 20 9 J x 20 (front), 10.5 J x 20 (rear) / 255/30ZR 20, 295/25 ZR 20 There is a lowering kit to lower the body with progressive body springs. With this, the HAMANN 5 Series hovers above the pavement 40 mm lower at the front and 20 mm lower at the rear. Alternatively, HAMANN offers a sports coilover suspension. On request, a sports braking system for the front axle provides better deceleration values.
The Laupheim finishing specialists offer various interior accessories for the BMW 5 Series. For example, the customer can put in an interior set made of carbon for the instrument panel and the centre console in order to give the cockpit a breath of racing air. To turn this breath into a stiff breeze, there are also different aluminum elements. For example, HAMANN offers a footrest made of this light-weight metal, and a handbrake lever, as well as all the pedals. An exclusive set of foot mats with the HAMANN inscription in silver is also part of the range of interior products. For a complete transformation, there is a three-spoke HAMANN airbag sports steering wheel. Of course, HAMANN will change any 5 Series on the basis of the customer's individual requests. For example, exquisite leather finishing is also possible in various colors. Or, for example, there are extensive multimedia conversions with DVD, TV, or Playstation.
