Hamann BMW X5

Hamann, a German tuning powerhouse that works its magic on everything from the Mini to various Ferraris, has turned its hand to the BMW X5.

New aerodynamic parts include a huge bumper to help feed air into the engine bay, new front and rear aprons, and a small roof spoiler. The X5's 3.0si engine gets a power hike of about 14 horsepower, and the 4.8i is up by 18 hp. In Hamann's hands, the 3.0 diesel now has an output of 265 hp and 442 pound-feet of torque.

No German tuner can do without a fancy wheel combination. Hamann offers seven wheel/tire combinations. For ultimate street bling, there is a 23-inch alloy set with matching 312/25R23 tires. The suspension settings are modified to match the wheels, so the German luxury SUV will keep or even enhance its riding capability.

Naturally, the interior can also be modified to suit individual customer requirements, with aluminum foot rests, alloy pedals and swaths of leather. DVD players, video-game consoles and TV sets can also be installed.
