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).

Story from RSportscars.com
 
I was just reading about this. I've never liked the looks of Hartge BMs, I changed the brake pads on a White Hartge E30 Cab yesterday and I can safely say that I have never seen anything that looks so vulgar in my life! Clearly they've learnt a thing or two about styling since then, I still dont like the big hartge logos on the front doors but the rest looks ok. The performance figures look pretty impresive too!

Could they make the stickers any bigger?
 
If I had to choose between a stock M5 or 330CI for looks, i would choose the 330CI for looks. 330CI looks better then the M5.
 
There are ways, you can also spin the engine to an angle. Or the new way, mod the body a bit to make its weight bigger mate.
 
The Touring is going to be awesome...


I wonder how Brabus will retaliate...
 
I don't much care for a car that is two different colors. Though if someone wanted to give me that car, I wouldn't object much :)
 
Big wheels = larger rotational mass = not good

I personally think the stock E90's 17/18-inch wheels are fine as-is...
