The 3 series BMW from Hartge is a masterpiece in many ways and not all of them are visual. The Hartge engineers have achieved something very special under the thermodynamically optimized bonnet in particual. Fitted with a modified M5 V10 engine, a 7-speed SMG transmission and the Hartge modification to raise top speed from the electronically limited 155 mph to 200 mph, the H50 V10 puts all its power 550 bhp and torque of 384 lb-ft onto the tarmac via a reinforced rear axle and a special suspension setup that is adjustable in terms of both rebound and compression.
Also new and made especially for the Hartge H50 V10, is the stainless steel exhaust system, which turns the V10 sound into an acoustic delight. Customers can choose between two dual round (or oval) tail pipes. The wheel / tire combination consists of 9 x 20 offset 40 at the front and 10 x 20 offset 40 at the back fitted with 245/30 ZR20 and 285/25 ZR20 tires respectively.
The Hartge H50 V10 Interior
The interior highlights are a 205 mph speedometer, the carbon interior trim, the 3-spoke leather steering wheel with carbon inserts, the illuminated aluminum gear knob and the leather handbrake cover.
With the H50 V10, Hartge is continuing its long tradition of making wolves in sheep's clothing for individualists who attach importance to understatement.
The H50 V10 is based on the BMW 3 series saloon (E90). A comparable conversion is currently being developed for the Touring (E91) and Coupe (E92).
