<a href="http://www.450performance.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/BMW5erTouringfront.jpg"><img src="http://www.450performance.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/BMW5erTouringfront-300x199.jpg" alt="BMW 5 Touring" title="BMW 5er Touring" width="300" height="199" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-159" /></a><br />
</center></p>
<p>The refined HAMANN sporty makeover is even available in several versions for the 5 Series Touring. The selection starts at the front with a front spoiler lip for the normal Touring, an additional one for vehicles with the M-technology package and a front skirt specially developed by  HAMANN  with four integrated LED daytime running lights and larger air inlets. Sportily-designed side  skirts continue the modified appearance right through to the rear. A diffuser-rear skirt with inserts for the fourtailpipe exhaust system, a rear spoiler  and a roof spoiler ensure additional downthrust.</p>
<p>So that the 5 Series Touring can make  an impressive appearance on the tarmac, HAMANN offers a choice of light-alloy wheels. Very appropriate for the job is the 21-inch  &#8220;ANODIZED&#8221; EDITION RACE DESIGN. With Its matt black central boss and high-gloss rim, the  &#8220;ANODIZED&#8221; EDITION RACE DESIGN is delivered as a complete wheel set with 255/30 ZR21 wheels at the front and 295/25 ZR21 tyres at the back at a price of €8 390.00. In addition there is the “Anniversary Evo“ design in 20 or 21-inch rim sizes with a choice of silver or matt black.  </p>
<p>With progressively-wound suspension springs  HAMANN lowers the BMW 5 Series Touring&#8217;s centre of gravity by around 35 mm, which sets off the light-alloy wheels even better.<br />
At the rear, the four tailpipes belonging to the sports rear silencer stand out; they are supplied by HAMANN for all engine models. In addition, and exclusively for the 550i<br />
Touring, a sports metal catalyser is available with middle silencer. </p>

<p>HAMANN Motorsport is known for giving new top-of-the-range cars extensive refinements shortly after they&#8217;ve been introduced to the market. And, true to form, the tuning specialist from the town of Laupheim in Baden-Württemberg can now present its comprehensive individualisation range for the BMW 6 Cabrio (F12).</p>
<p>For the wheel arches, customers can choose from 21-inch alloy wheels in DESIGN EDITION RACE &#8220;ANODIZED&#8221; with high-gloss chrome-plated rim flange, black spokes and titanium screws  or DESIGN &#8220;ANNIVERSARY EVO&#8221; wheels in silver or matte black, available in 20 or 21-inch format. HAMANN Motorsport also offers the DESIGN EDITION RACE matte black wheels in a 20-inch version. All wheel designs can be ordered individually or as a complete set and are fully compatible with the tyre pressure sensors fitted at the factory.  </p>
<p>In order to set the stage even better for the alloy wheels, HAMANN Motorsport has lowered the centre of gravity of the BMW 6 Cabrio (F12) by around 30 mm at the front and around 25 mm at the rear using progressive suspension springs. HAMANN has also given the engine of the 650i Cabrio a sporty soundscape. To this end, its tuning professionals have installed a stainless steel exhaust system consisting of a four-pipe exhaust system  with round 90 mm tailpipes and a middle silencer. </p>
<p>The car&#8217;s interior is upgraded by way of aluminium pedals and a footrest, available either in silver or anodized black. Black foot mats with a silver  HAMANN logo are available as an optional extra to add a finishing touch of class to the car&#8217;s sporty cockpit.</p>

<p>The new BMW 7 Series already sets the benchmark in luxury performance motoring – and now BMW is moving up the standard of maximum exclusivity and supremacy in this supreme class to an even higher level, following a completely new definition: The new BMW 760i and the new BMW 760Li are taking over the top position within BMW&#8217;s model portfolio, representing the highest level of motoring refinement in their segment.</p>
<p>The heart and foundation of this exceptional new standard comes from the twelve-cylinder power unit featured in both top models in the BMW 7 Series. Developed as a completely new engine from the ground up, the V12 is a master¬piece of modern engine technology. Superior power of 400 kW/544 hp comes at an engine speed of 5,000 rpm, with maximum torque of 750 Newton-metres (553 lb-ft) from just 1,500 rpm.</p>
<p>Combined with the likewise brand-new eight-speed automatic transmission, this twelve-cylinder offers not only unparalleled motoring refinement, but also supreme driving dynamics through its ability to convert seemingly unlimited power reserves spontaneously and with precise control at all times into supreme driving dynamics.</p>

<p> The BMW X5 M and the BMW X6 M are the first all-wheel-drive models to offer the remarkable performance, dynamic driving experience, athletic design, and premium quality of a BMW M product. Both models are powered by a newly-developed 4.4-liter V8 M engine delivering 555 hp at 6,000 rpm and 500 lb-ft of torque from 1500 to 5,650 rpm. This new M engine is the world&#8217;s first with a pulse-tuned exhaust manifold encompassing both rows of cylinders combined with high-performance twin-scroll twin turbo technology.</p>
<p>For the X5 M and X6 M, engineers at BMW M pushed the capabilities of BMW&#8217;s intelligent xDrive all-wheel-drive system and the Dynamic Performance Control system to manage the power and performance potential of these two new vehicles. The special M suspension includes Adaptive Drive and newly-developed Servotronic power steering. These features combine to push the limits of what was previously possible with a sports-oriented vehicle, and guarantee driving behavior characteristic of a BMW M product: incredible stability and precisely controlled steering qualities abound throughout the performance envelope.</p>
<p>The BMW X5 M and BMW X6 M set new standards of acceleration, lateral grip, steering response, balance, and stopping power among high-performance activity vehicles. Both models accelerate to 60 mph from a standstill in 4.5 seconds and feature impressive delivery of power from the V8 twin-turbo engine which provides maximum torque of 500 lb-ft from 1,500 and 5,650 rpm. From a handling standpoint, both vehicles are notable for superb balance through careful tuning of xDrive, Dynamic Performance Control, and Dynamic Stability Control with M Dynamic Mode for linear buildup of cornering forces. These capabilities place the performance of the X5 M and X6 M on par with the performance of other recent BMW M vehicles.</p>
