BMW 7-Series Hamann tuner package
After a deluge of leaks, German tuner Hamann has finally introduced its upgrade package for the all-new 2009 BMW 7-Series with an official news release.
Already since 1986, the Laupheim-based company develops and produces products for the individualisation of BMW automobiles. Thereby, the Hamann technicians profit from hundreds of successful motor sports participations. The results of the 2009 7-Series conversion are a stainless steel exhaust systems with a sporty and earthy sound, aerodynamics components reducing the lifting forces and striking light alloy rims from 19 to 22 inches. Interiors perfectly fitted with leather and combined with floor-mats in matching colors as well as non-slip aluminum pedals extend the accessory range.
Already when establishing the design, Hamann perfectly adjusts the individual components of the aerodynamic pack. The result is an exciting styling with an optimized air flow across the car silhouette. LED daytime running lights which are integrated in the new front skirt, render a sporty-dynamic look and increase the passive safety. Simultaneously, in combination with the roof spoiler and the rear spoiler, the lifting forces are reduced and give the upper class limousine a new, attractive overall appearance. The visual connection between the front and rear part are the Hamann side skirts. The optionally-available rear shield insert for the side skirt of the model 730d and 740i allows fitting the four-pipe sport end muffler. Four round stainless steel end pipes enhance the rear part of the 7-series BMW and produce a powerful sound.
A performance enhancement is available for the diesel engine only. By this first tuning stage, the 730d, originally with 245 hp, increases by approximately 45 hp.
A technical highlight of the offered tuning program is the one-piece Hamann-aluminum wheel called DESIGN HM EVO 22 inches. A hallmark of the modern styling is the glossy black paint with the diamond-grinded rim star and the discreet deep rim well. Struts inside the spokes render additional stability. Hamann recommends 9.0Jx22 inches with 265/30ZR22 tires at the front and 10.5Jx22 inches with 295/25ZR22 tires at the rear.
The four progressively coiled chassis springs which lower the 730d and 740i models by 1.5 inches render a dynamic appearance. For the 750i and 750Li models, there is a lowering kit consisting of two chassis springs and an “evening” kit.
In addition to the stock interior equipment, Hamann offers aluminum pedals and foot-rests, embroidered Hamann floor mat set, and if desired, even complete leather upholstery with expert precision.
