Our core competence has always been the powerful BMW spearheads, with the big M in the model designation. Now our technicians have also taken on the “entry-level M”. The compact class, lightweight M135i, which comes from factory with a 306 hp / 450 Nm four-cylinder turbo engine and xDrive all-wheel drive.
In the course of the transformation to the MANHART MH1 350, we increased the power of the 2.0-liter twin power turbo engine (B48A20T1) by installing a visually attractive MANHART carbon intake by ARMAspeed as well as a MANHART MHtronik auxiliary control unit to – nomen est omen – a whopping 350 hp. The maximum torque increases in parallel to 524 Nm, so that the Bavarian hot hatch accelerates from practically every driving situation as if pulled by a catapult.
Acoustically, its power is proclaimed by a rich roar from the four matt black 90-millimeter tailpipes of its exhaust system, which connects to a MANHART Sport downpipe with a 300-cell HJS catalytic converter. The latter – like the optional OPF deleter including linkpipe – is not TÜV-approved and is therefore only intended for export.
A front spoiler, a rear diffuser, a roof spoiler and side skirts – all made by Maxton Design – give the MH1 350 a much more aggressive appearance than its “civilian” single-series brothers.
MANHART GTS Style rims in cross-spoke design with 235/30ZR20 tires rotate in the fenders of the hot compact to match. On the vehicle shown, the 8.5×20-inch rims – matching the MANHART decor set in silver and red – can be seen in the “Diamond Polished” finish, but alternatively, individual surface variants are also available. We also offer optionally configurable upgrades for the brake system.
In the course of a suspension optimization, we also installed MANHART lowering springs by H&R, which lower the center of gravity of the hot hatch by about 30 millimeters.
Last but not least, the interior of the MH1 350 is adorned with high-quality MANHART floor mats.
