Hamann is using the Geneva Motor Show to reveal their body aerodynamics customization program for the BMW M5 (F10).
Starting with the body, the tuner from Laupheim in Southern Germany adds wide body fender and quarter panel extensions increasing front and rear width on each side by 25mm and 30mm, respectively. The front bumper fascia has integrated LED daytime driving lights while the rear fascia is designed to reduce aerodynamic lift. Other components include side sills, a roof spoiler and rear boot spoiler.
The M5 also features Hamann ultra-light Unique Forged II wheels in front size 9.5Jx21-inch with Continental Sport Contact 5P tires in the size 265/30 ZR 21 and at the rear 12.0Jx21-inch with 325/25 ZR 21 tires. Also available is the three-piece HAMANN aluminum wheel named Edition Race Anodized. It has an anthracite-anodized inner wheel face plus a mirror-finished outer rim flange with titanium bolts. Sport springs lower the vehicle's ride height by 30mm.
Hamann is currently working on an engine performance upgrade which includes a high-performance sports muffler and a new engine-management system boosting power approximately 160 PS and 220 Nm of torque. In standard form, the BMW M5 produces 560 PS (412 kW / 552 hp) and 680 Nm (502 lb-ft) of torque.
Lastly, the interior can be upgraded to cover the full upholstery in custom premium leather or Alcantara while adding Hamann aluminum pedals, metal or piano lacquer trim appliques and a personalised floor-mat set.
