Manhart Transforms BMW X3 M Competition Into A 650 HP Beast
by AutoExpert | 21 June, 2024
In its factory configuration, the BMW X3 M Competition produces 510 hp (380 kW) and 479 lb-ft (650 Nm) of torque. The guys from Manhart wanted to build something even more spectacular because it wasn't excellent enough.
As a result, the X3 M Competition is a heavily modified machine with increased horsepower, torque, and aftermarket components.
With some ingenious fuel and boost programming, Manhart is able to get 650 hp and 589 lb-ft of torque without removing any of the engine's heavy components. It can sustain that extra horsepower thanks to a stainless steel exhaust system, Manhart downpipes, and HJS catalytic converters. As far as the eye can tell, the exhaust isn't stock, save for four 100-mm carbon tailpipes.
Naturally, the remaining components of the carbon fiber body package might indicate that this vehicle isn't quite factory-fresh. Along with side skirts and fins, Manhart has a spoiler up front. The roof spoiler and diffuser are located at the back, so customers can see them.
The tuner will customize the wheel selection and installation for each customer, and if desired, customers may even ask for different brake systems. Authentic carbon fiber receives its own special treatment inside. Everything from wheel spokes to paddle shifters falls into this category. With Manhart, personalized upholstery is also an option.
