BMW 7-Series by Mansory


Swiss tuner Mansory has devised a new look for the BMW 7-Series that comes with a little extra zip for this flagship sedan.

The aerodynamic kit puts a new face on the 7-Series by means of a new front bumper with integrated LED daytime running lights and a new carbon grille. Over the rear windscreen is a roof spoiler and the back end features a new apron, diffuser and integrated stainless-steel quad-pipes from the new sport exhaust system fitted by Mansory.

The tuning package is available for both the F01 and F02 7-Series models and the corresponding engine upgrade packages reflect that.

Mansory offers a performance upgrade kit for both the 750i and the 760Li (extended wheelbase edition). The upgrade on the 750i with a 4.4-liter twin-turbo V8 consists of an ECU remap and sport air filter which is good for a new total output of 490 PS (360 kW / 483 bhp) and 720 Nm (531 lb-ft) torque over the serial 408 PS (300 kW / 402 hp) and 600 Nm (440 lb-ft).

On the 760Li with a 6.0-liter twin-turbo V12, the tuner dials up the power quotient to 640 PS (470 kW / 631 bhp) and 920 Nm (678 lb-ft) torque compared to the standard 544 PS (400 kW / 537 hp) and 750 Nm (550 lb-ft) .

That makes for a pretty quick long-wheelbase 7-Series as the 0 to 100 km/h sprint time on the Mansory 760Li takes just 4.2 seconds, shaving 0.4 seconds off of the series' model.

To carry all that weight and power in style, Mansory fits the 7-Series with new 10 x 22-inch rims wrapped in 265/35R22 performance tires at the front and 295/30R22s for the rear axle.

For the cabin is a new, ergonomically-designed, sport steering wheel absent the BMW badge but which still provides all the functionality of the standard wheel. Mansory also offers finishes in leather or Alcantara with wood or carbon trims. Personalized options include even the floor mats and any leather touches desired as per the customer's tastes.


BMW X6 M TYPHOON S by G-POWER

Wearing the same body kit (€6,990.00) as the Typhoon S X5 M, the X6 M has an aggressive front fascia, a ventilated hood, a carbon fiber rear diffuser, and sport springs which lower the ride height by 30mm (1.2 inches). Additionally, customers can order 23-inch Silverstone RS alloy wheels with Michelin performance tires (€8,865.55).

Under the hood, the twin-turbo 4.4-liter V8 has been equipped with a remapped ECU, a stainless steel sport exhaust system, exhaust manifords and new connection pipes between the turbochargers and the cylinder heads (€13,526.05). Thanks to these modifications, output raises to 725 PS (533 kW / 715 hp) and 890 Nm (656 lb-ft) of torque - an increase of 170 PS (125 kW / 168 hp) and 210 Nm (155 lb-ft). This enables the crossover to run from 0-100 km/h in 4.2 seconds and hit a top speed in excess of 300 km/h (186 mph).
