Hamann package for new X5 w/ 400hp

The modified car is the top-end 4.8i model that’s powered by a 355hp V8 engine in standard guise. Hamann bumps output to 400hp thanks to a free-flow exhaust system and ECU upgrade, which enables the big ute to reach 0 to 100km/h in just 6.2 seconds beating the standard car’s acceleration figure by 0.3 seconds. Top speed remains electronically limited to 250km/h.

X5 has the lowered sports suspension that sits a full 10cm lower over regular X5s and a set of Hamann 20 or 22in alloy wheels.

Thanks for the pics. However, not really used to seeing a X5 sitting that low. Wondering whether the OEM M-sport suspension will lower the X5? Guess we may be seeing it in a day or two.

Thanks! I think it looks great other than being lowered. Lowering an SUV (or SAV) is quite contradictory to why it's made and besides it makes the X5 look like a station wagon car.

Hmm, pretty impressive....an exhaust and ECU map get 45hp out of a motor?? Usually don't hear gains like that for such small upgrades without forced induction. I'll wait to see someone do this and dyno their ride

I agree, I would want to see a dyno and and an independent one at that.

Hey, how did Hamann come up with an ECU upgrade so quickly when we haven't heard about any Hamann ECU upgrades for our '04 - '06 engines yet? Are those guys in that business? WTF!!! And what about Dinan? It's been about 3 years since they told us they'd have it in a couple of months...

Looks pretty good. Just maybe a tad too low.

Anyone know what the Torque improvement is across the rev range as I assume its here that your paying for the upgrade as 0.3sec is pretty poor in relation the the BHP increase and most importantly in relation to the probable cost of a Hamann upgrade.
