BMW M3 E91 5.0 V10 SMG
Family racer
Attention
all sporty, family men! The new BMW M3 is also available as a four-door
saloon. That means it’s very easy to justify buying a new plaything to
your sceptical wife (or, in fact, to your own conscience). It's just a
shame that the Bavarian company hasn't yet been able to bring itself to
make an M3 estate.
The tuners at Geilenkirchen-based Manhart Racing probably thought the same thing when they built the car that BMW didn’t want to build; an M3 touring. To produce it, the team centred around legendary mechanic Günther Manhart, furnished the E91 bodywork with the front apron, front side panels, side skirts and of course, the characteristic powerdome bonnet from the M3 saloon, designed their own M3-style rear apron and widened the rear wheel-arches to give them that M3 look. The aerodynamic rear-view mirrors really topped it all off. However, Günther Manhart knows that you obviously can't just make a car look good; it has to have something under the bonnet too. The axles, the tank, the complete steering system and a range of other hidden but otherwise essential parts have all come from the M3.

V10 power in the E91
So
it only remains to talk about what really makes the M3: The 4.2-litre
V8 engine. But wait! At this point it should be mentioned that Manhart
Racing specialises in fitting various BMW models with the formidable
5.0-litre engine from the M5 E60. And so the V10 engine found itself
used in another BMW model, the E91. After optimising the electronics and
incorporating HJS’s stainless-steel four-pipe exhaust system with two
200-cell racing catalytic convertors, the heavy-duty unit manages an
extremely impressive 550 PS, which is kept on a tight leash by the
7-speed SMG gearbox, also taken from the M5 and by the corresponding
100% limited slip differential
With
the vehicle possessing such an armoury, it can catapult itself from 0
to 100km/h in only 4.3 seconds and on the motorway it easily cruises
past most other performance saloons and estates (including the ‘true' M3
and M5 models) with its top speed of 324km/h.
It's
a good thing then, that Manhart Racing has equipped the car with
tunable Bilstein PSS10 coilover suspension and an extremely stable
Stoptech Sport Trophy Kit braking system with a six-piston calliper with
grooved 380mm brake discs at the front and a four-piston calliper with
355mm brake discs on the drive shaft.
The
RÄD Monza three-part forged wheels with black rims fit perfectly with
the character of this vehicle, and they are available in 9.5” and 10.5” x
20” sizes.
Flat, size 255/30ZR20 and 295/25ZR20 Hankook S1 Evo tyres aim to provide higher levels of longitudinal and lateral acceleration.
Performance interior
A
detailed look at the interior is also very much worth your. Driver and
passenger both sit in outstanding BMW sports seats, and the back seats
can be upholstered with leather or Alcantara to match those in the
front. Likewise, the leather interior with Alcantara roof and door
linings as well as the carbon fittings and the BMW performance steering
wheel with illuminating indicator switches really give the car that
racing look.
Manhart Racing has set the purchase price for the complete car package at around €120,000. If desired, your current basis car can be upgraded.
