Geilenkirchen tuning specialist Manhart Racing has released details of its MH1 400 program to suit the BMW M135i.

Packing a turbocharged 3.0-litre straight six-cylinder, which churns out a delicious 235 kW (320 hp) and 450 Nm of torque in factory guise, Manhart fits its own upgraded turbocharger unit, ECU software and a complete exhaust system with 280-cell catalyst taking output to 294 kW (400 hp) and 561 Nm.

Chassis upgrades consist of a KW Clubsport coilover suspension kit, 380 mm and 356 mm brake discs gripped by eight and four-piston calipers respectively, while the original wheels have been replaced by Manhart’s Concave ONE alloys measuring 8.5 and 9.5 x 19-inches and wrapped in Michelin SuperSport tyres.

Aesthetically, the body wears a brushed metal foil wrap along with a carbon fibre front spoiler, mirror casings and diffuser, while the interior is upholstered in a mixture of leather and Alcantara with contrasting yellow stitching.
