New BMW X5 with 400HP Hamann package -
03-05-2007, 03:16 AM
The second generation E70 X5 hasn’t even been introduced in many countries but already German tuners Hamann have released a performance upgrade package for the new SUV. The modified car is the top-end 4.8i model that’s powered by a 355hp V8 engine in standard guise. Hamann bumps output to 400hp thanks to a free-flow exhaust system and ECU upgrade, which enables the big ute to reach 0 to 100km/h in just 6.2 seconds beating the standard car’s acceleration figure by 0.3 seconds. Top speed remains electronically limited to 250km/h.
Visually, the tuned car remains much the same as the standard version except for the lowered sports suspension that sits a full 10cm lower over regular X5s and a set of Hamann 20 or 22in alloy wheels.

That second set of rims look amazing on an X5.
I'm shocked that they already came up with an ECU upgrade for this engine when it just came out. It took people so much more time with the E90.
Btw, anyone else think that that is a hell of a bump considering it is only exhaust and ECU?

Isn't it the same engine used in the Old 4.8iS + 750 + 550 ? so I guess it is not a new engine.
