The BMW X5 M and X6 M seem to be huge hits with the tuners adding questionable looking wide body kits. Check out the latest X5 M to be stretched by the legendary German tuning company Hamann. Sorry for the poorly translated press release. Jump down to the pictures and let us know, does this wide body do it for you?

2010 BMW X5M FLASH EVO M with 610hp by HAMANN

---

The BMW X5 M rolls off the assembly-line already with many exceptional attributes that give it a sense of a sports car. HAMANN dresses up this genre, adding the newly developed Flash Evo M-Bodykit. From now on, a striking front spoiler will be fitted with two or four integrated LED daytime running lights, large air intakes that supply the engine as well as the brake system with fresh air. The carbon bonnet presents itself as a perfect match and contributes with its additional air inlets and outlets to optimize the temperature inside the engine compartment. Side sill bars connect the massive fender extensions and give the X5 M a considerably higher presence. The two central tailpipes of the sport exhaust system are integrated into the diffuser that is installed into the rear spoiler. The carbon roof spoiler adds to the necessary downforce. Even the exterior mirror heads present themselves in a stylish black carbon fibre.

Upon request, several 22 or 23 inch light alloy wheels amplify effectively the sporty appearance of the HAMANN Flash Evo M and skilfully fill in the wide wheel housings. The exclusive DESIGN UNIQUE FORGED "ANODIZED" rim, available in 23 inch with matt black anodized spokes, gives it a truly sporty appearance. The special forging technique applied makes the rim super light but at the same time offers a very high bearing load.

By using progressively wound suspension springs, HAMANN is able to lower the center of gravity of the BMW X5 M by 30 mm. This emphasizes even more the sporty appearance of the Flash Evo M bodykit.

HAMANN offers two performance improvement systems: First, the ECU is optimized by removing the factory-installed Vmax restriction of 250 km/h. Then, power is increased from 408 kW/555 hp and 680 Nm torque to an impressive 449 kW/610 hp and a torque of 780 Nm.

For an extra kick, HAMANN supplies the HM 670 sports kit. In addition to the optimization of the ECU, a rear sports muffler and catalyst replacement pipes are being used. This way, between 1500 and 5650 RPM, the torque is increased to 950 Nm. According to the data sheet, 493 kW/670 hp are also available and ensure that the HAMANN Flash Evo M can reach a top speed of 300 km/h.

Stopping at these speeds requires additional safety, for which HAMANN has developed a high-performance brake system, using 405 mm diameter brake discs in front and 340 mm diameter brake discs at the rear. 6-pot callipers provide the delay at the front axle, while 4-pot callipers do their work at the rear axle. Steal flex brake lines prevent the dreaded fading during high stresses.

When checking out the interior, the first thing one will notice is the HAMANN airbag sport steering wheel and the speedometer, indicating a top speed of 320 km/h. But this is only the beginning: Upon request, the in-house saddlery shop can provide you with two-coloured, quilted leather with decorative stitching and Alcantara, as interior finish. To round it all off, an interior package is available with appliqué made of visible carbon fibre and a stainless steel sill plate with an illuminated HAMANN logo. The feet of the driver may rest on pedals and a foot rest available in optional silver or black anodized aluminium. HAMANN floor mats and a trunk mat top off the luxurious appearance.

Missing the led rings, otherwise, hawt.

I like it...not sure on the red interior...I'm sure they wanted it to look flashy, but I think it'd look alot better with all black + white contrast stitching. Otherwise

Exterior but not the hood, Interior

don't like the interior either. Love the exterior. wonder what the 0-60 is?

front is nice!!! But the interior/back suck! Two middle exhaust? looks like an a$$hole

Looks hot!

Entire thing looks to be put together by some hormone addled teenager. The front is an over-the-top amalgumation of the 335i lower lip overlayed on an grossly exagerated M fascia with a bunch of extra junk glued on. Get real. The back's not too bad but they need to get rid of the extra slots along the wheel flares. Same with the sides....looks like someone had a firesale on slots and ports. Throw the hood out. As for the interior....good god, what are they thinking??? fluorescent red and quilts??? Looks like the "designer" spent too much time at the Moonlight Bunny Ranch in Nevada. Given the overall look of the interior I'd get out a blacklight and start checking the seats for stains before I'd sit on them.

If some customizer did something like this to my BMW he'd be a dead man.

Last to quote the article:...."top off the luxurious appearance".....LOL Luxurious? Seriously?

All I need to go with that pimp-mobile is a string of hookers.

Nice! Looks like some Hot Import Magazine feature..

Leave the rice stuff on the honda civics please. This thing no longer has any german flow to it..
