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.

:thumbup: 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.

That looks awesome with the 5 spoke wheels :drool:

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...

:iagree:

Those PG3's are HOT!

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.
