Tuner Special: Hamann Rocks BMW M6 ( Update - M6 'Edition Race' )
LAUPHEIM, Germany — Hamann Automobile Technik + Design, the BMW tuning specialist, has further tapped the latent potential in the already sensational M6 coupe, boosting engine output and performance to new heights.
Hamann offers three different engine tuning options on the car's 5.0-liter V10, which, in stock trim, delivers 500 horsepower and 383 pound-feet of torque. Top speed is electronically limited to 155 mph. At the first tuning level, Hamann upgrades the wheels and tires, and removes the speed governor, which lifts top speed to 185 to 200 mph.
At the second stage, Hamann also reprograms the engine computer to boost output by 30 hp and torque by 11 lb-ft. The third stage adds high-performance exhaust headers, metallic sports catalytic converters, a performance air filter and muffler, and removes all electronic engine restrictions. Output of the V10 jumps by 60 hp, with torque climbing by 40 lb-ft. Top speed peaks at around 200 mph.
Hamann's aero add-ons include a chin spoiler in fiberglass or Kevlar, a completely new front apron with integral high-beam headlamps, side skirts, a tail spoiler, a roof spoiler, and a rear apron with integrated diffuser.
Hamann also offers a number of chassis enhancements, as well as a wide variety of wheel/tire upgrades and interior accessories. For more information, see the company's Web site at www.hamann-motorsport.de.
What this means to you: Even BMW's ultimate M Series cars can be tweaked to go just a little faster.

Body kits like this make it difficult for me to be a Hamann fan.
There is nothing classy or flattering about that kit. The 6 looks better than that stock.
Wheels are okay... sort of old school. Too dated for the car. Perfect for an old 635i.

actually i look at it again, i guess the roof spoiler isn't too bad
and yeah, those wheels are nice gene while the m6 stock body is nice, but i think it could still be further improved with a good kit
