    Hamann BMW 5 Series

    The bodywork of the new BMW 5 Series can be upgraded with elegantly styled HAMANN aerodynamics components. The HAMANN front spoiler doesn't only give the sedan a more striking face but also minimizes the lift on the front axle at high speeds.

    The HAMANN side skirts make the four-door car look lower and more stretched. The HAMANN rear panel with cut-out for the HAMANN 2-pipe sport rear silencer rounds out the sporty yet elegant shape of the HAMANN conversion. In addition the range for the sedan contains a HAMANN roof spoiler and a HAMANN rear spoiler.

    HAMANN offers one of the most extensive ranges of custom-made wheel/tire combinations from 17- to 20-inch in diameter for the new BMW 5 Series. The biggest version are multi-piece HAMANN PG3 light alloy wheels of the dimensions 9Jx20 front and 10Jx20 rear. 245/30 ZR 20 tires front and 285/25 ZR 20 tires on the rear axle were tested out to be the perfect tire choice for these wheels.

    Alternatively available are different other one-piece and modular HAMANN light alloy wheels in various widths and 17-, 18- or 19-inch in diameter.

    For a wedge-shaped lowering of the new 5 Series car by about 40 millimeters front and about 20 millimeters on the rear axle, HAMANN provides progressive springs to combine with the standard shock absorbers.

    Alternatively HAMANN will soon offer a height-adjustable coil over sport suspension which doesn't only give the BMW a stiffer damper set-up. In addition the lowering can be adjusted up to 60 millimeters on the front axle and up to 30 millimeters rear.

    HAMANN sport anti-roll bars can be installed to reduce the side tilt of the car as much as possible.

    The HAMANN high performance exhaust system with 355 x 32 millimeters large, slotted and vented discs and 4-pot fixed calipers on the front axle provide for optimal deceleration and maximum resistance.

    Therewith the new BMW 5 Series is perfectly geared up for powerful HAMANN engine tuning. While the performance kit for the 530d turbodiesel model is still in preparation, HAMANN increased-capacity engines are already available for the 530i and the upcoming 545i.

    The HAMANN HM 3.3 increased-capacity engine for the 530i delivers 286 hp / 210 kW at 6,200 rpm and 355 Nm of maximum torque at 4,000 revs. With it the tuned 530i accelerates in about 6.0 seconds from 0 - 100 km/h and reaches a maximum speed of about 270 km/h.

    For the BMW 545i there is available the HAMANN HM 5.0 increased capacity engine. After the engine conversion there are available 412 hp / 303 kW at 6,100 rpm and a maximum torque of 535 Nm at 3,900 revs. The road performances are on purebred sportscar level: The sprint from 0 - 100 km/h only takes 5.1 seconds, maximum speed is about 285 km/h.


    Sound, exciting look and optimized performance are the features of the HAMANN 2-pipe sport rear silencer which is offered in custom-made versions for all motorizations including the Turbodiesel models. For the 545i there are additionally manufactured special exhaust manifolds and metal-bed sport catalysts.

    For the interior the owner of the new BMW 5 Series has the choice between sporty HAMANN accessories such as an ergonomically shaped airbag-sport-steering-wheel or pedals and a gearshift-lever-knob made from aluminium. The cockpit can be made even more exclusively with a custom-made HAMANN full leather trim, which is offered in various colors and designs.

    A Symbiosis of Functionality and Sportiness
    The HAMANN BMW 5 Series Touring


    HAMANN MOTORSPORT represents the epitome of high-performance, pioneering conversions of the luxurious models from BMW. The latest excellent example of the engineering skills of the BMW specialists is the HAMANN BMW 5 Series Touring.
    The HAMANN engineers specially developed a high-performance motor tuning for the model variations 520i, 525i, 530i, 530d and 545i. The top motorization is the HAMANN 5 Series Touring 5.2. The 5,156 ccm aggregate boasts maximum torque of 550 Nm of 3,900 U/min, and delivers an impressive 412 hp at 6,100 U/min. Compared to the 545i showroom model, this represents an increase of some 80 hp and 100 Nm. It’s no wonder then that maximum speed stands at 283 km/h, or some 176 mph.

    HAMANN offers the 5 Series Touring with special sport lowering springs. The progressive springs make the car notably more precise in its steering and improves the handling. The lowering with the sport lowering springs brings the front of the car down 35 millimeters. This results in ‘Sheer Driving Pleasure’, especially in quick changes of direction.
    Of course a premium braking system has also been included in the HAMANN BMW 5 Series, in the form of the sport braking system developed by the BMW specialists, featuring 365x34 millimeter slotted, internally ventilated fixed yoke brake discs. The special brake linings and flexible steel brake conduits also guarantee very precise deceleration.
    In accordance with the technical modifications, the HAMANN 5 Series Touring also has a striking external design. The front has been designed in a more powerful, unmistakable look using a front apron. The broad side skirts reinforce this impression and consistently lead the dynamic lines of the basic model. At the rear, the roof spoiler and rear apron closure, including the diffuser and integrated dual-pipe sport end muffler, ensure a sporty appearance. The in-house designed exhaust system additionally gives the HAMANN 5 Series Touring an impressive, fat sound.
    A further optical highlight is in the form of the 20 ” ANNIVERSARY I light metal rims. The aluminum wheels with their innovative multi-spoke design emphasize the sportiness and elegance of the HAMANN 5 Series Touring in the sizes of 9x20 ” in the front and 10.5x20 ” in the rear. The high-sheen polished INOXX steel lip of the light metal wheels is another special feature. The interior of the car demonstrates a series of sporty accessories that underline the level of exclusivity of the HAMANN model. This includes a complete aluminum set of pedals including aluminum foot supports and an exclusive sport gear shift. The interior is rounded off by the refined foot mats with the HAMANN logo.
    The HAMANN BMW 5 Series Touring convinces with its notable symbiosis of functionality and sportiness. Simply stated, a genuine HAMANN.

    The more you post, the more I hate you. Why is it that you have yet to figure out proper forum etiquette? Reviving an old thread without adding anything of value to that thread is bad form. Reviving an old thread and adding fresh material or information is encouraged and appreciated. Either figure out how this place works or leave - preferrably the latter.
