Back again this year: the HARTGE H50 V10 under the guise of the E92 3 Series Coupe. The first thing that strikes you is the two-tone paintwork, then the ventilated bonnet and front wings, as well as the HARTGE front spoiler lip and HARTGE boot spoiler.

From the Saarland region, the H50 V10 features a thermo-dynamically optimised bonnet. In addition, HARTGE's engineers and mechanics have achieved an extraordinary feat of engineering: the installation of a modified M5 V10 engine producing 550 hp (404 kW) and a torque of 520 Nm, which is coupled to a 7-speed SMG transmission and de-restriction to 320 km/h.
To help the H50 V10 put all this power onto the road, it is also fitted with a reinforced rear axle and a special suspension system that can be adjusted not only for height but also for rebound and compression.
Also especially made for the HARTGE H50 V10 is the stainless steel exhaust system, which makes the V10 sound an acoustic delight. Customers can choose between dual twin oval or dual twin round tail pipes.
The wheel/tyre combination consists of 9 x 20" offset 40 wheels at the front and 10 x 20" offset 40 at the rear fitted with Pirelli 245/30 ZR 20 and 295/25 ZR 20 tyres respectively.
Last but not least: inside the HARTGE H50 V10 besides a 330 km/h speedometer, the first things you notice are the carbon interior trim, the 3-spoke steering wheel with carbon inserts and the leather/aluminium brake handle.
With the H50 V10, HARTGE maintains its long tradition of building wolves in sheep's clothing for individualists who prefer understatement.

Back again this year, the Hartge H50 V10 under the guise of the E92 3 Series Coupe. The first thing that strikes you is the two-tone paintwork, then the ventilated bonnet and front wings, as well as the Hartge front spoiler lip and Hartge boot spoiler.

From the Saarland region, the H50 V10 features a thermo-dynamically optimized bonnet. In addition, Hartge's engineers and mechanics have achieved an extraordinary feat of engineering: the installation of a modified M5 V10 engine producing 550 bhp and a torque of 391 lb-ft, which is coupled to a 7-speed SMG transmission and de-restriction to 200 mph.

With the H50 V10, Hartge maintains its long tradition of building wolves in sheep's clothing for individualists who prefer understatement.

World famous BMW tuning house, Hartge, revealed their E92 3 Series Coupe styling package in the M5 V10 engine transplant prototype known as the H50 V10. Minus the ventilated bonnet, the kit is essentially the same for the cabriolet model seen here. But now, you don't have to imagine it. Feast your eyes on the snappy renderings of what it will look like. Hopefully, Hartge will give our man on the scene, Nick Hall, a crack at it so we can give you the details and real life shots. For the 335i bi-turbo engine, no major engine mods have been announced other than an ECU upgrade which gives a pawltry 34hp and 37 lb-ft of torque (293 kW / 340 hp @ 5800 rpm and 450 Nm / lb-ft 332 @ 1500 rpm) extra.

The perception of ECU tuning on an aspirated engine leaves one uninspired by these numbers. But expect more dramatic engine tuning packages in the coming months as tuners devise a completely new development program for BMW's first turbo engine in 30 years.
