Manhart revisited the current G11 generation. While the MH7 has existed since 2015, this time Manhart opted for an unconventional tune, based on the diesel-powered 740d xDrive.
The MH7 400d is fitted with the twin-turbo 3.0-liter inline
six-cylinder diesel engine, which here is tuned to produce 400 hp and 790 Nm of torque thanks to ECU remapping and Manhart’s
Turbo Performance kit. This is a healthy increase over the stock 740d which
makes 315 hp and 680 Nm, while it is more
powerful even from the now-discontinued 750d flagship, which employed a
quad-turbodiesel with 394 hp and 760 Nm right
from the factory.
Power is transmitted to all four wheels through a tweaked
eight-speed automatic gearbox and a standard xDrive system. While the pictured
example doesn’t have modifications in the exhaust and the brakes, Manhart can
tune them according to the preferences of each owner.
The show car in the photos is a pre-facelift BMW 7-Series
(2015-2019) with the M Package but the tuning kit is also compatible with the
facelifted G11. Visually, it includes a front splitter and a lip spoiler made
of carbon fiber, plus the optional Manhart livery with gold accents across the
body and Manhart badges replacing the BMW emblems. Last but not least, a new
set of multi-spoke 22-inch Manhart Venturi alloy wheels are shod in mixed
performance tires (265/30 R22 at the front and 295/25 R22 at the rear). For a
more aggressive stance, the air suspension has been lowered by 20-30 mm and 15 mm H&R spacers have been added.
The interior remains mostly stock with white leather upholstery,
an Alpina instrument cluster, and a Manhart badge on the steering wheel but the
tuner is offering more personalization options upon request including the
optional starlight headliner.
In terms of pricing, you will need € 4,890 (US$ 5,530) for the
wheels, € 3,295 (US$ 3,726) for the carbon front splitter, € 2,340 (US$ 2,646) for the
carbon lip spoiler, € 3,845 (US$ 4,348) for the carbon rear diffuser, and € 1,099
(US$ 1,243) for the Manhart decals. Most importantly, the performance upgrades for
the diesel engine of the 740d xDrive are listed for € 6,999 (US$ 7,914).
