Manhart will give your M3 Touring 641bhp and the roof from a Rolls-Royce

Modified estate gets an ECU remap, carbon bits from the M4 CSL and extremely bright paint

Published: 23 Jun 2023

Modified BMWs are nothing new. Modified BMW M3 Tourings however…

Yep, M division’s first compact estate hasn’t escaped the attention of Manhart, with the German tuner upping power from the twin-turbo straight-six to 641bhp and 590lb ft of torque. That’s courtesy of an MHtronik ECU and a new exhaust which features bits from Remus and HJS.

As you can see, there’s also eyeball-pelting new paint and lots of additional carbon fibre, including the kidney grille inserts, the front wing vents, the side skirts and the many aero bits on the front bumper. There’s also the lip spoiler and the bonnet from the slightly disappointing M4 CSL up there.  

We’re told the wheels are by Yido Performance and are 20-inches up front and 21-inches at the rear. There’s adjustable H&R lowering springs to get it to sit so close to the tarmac too.

Perhaps the best thing about the newly christened MANHART MH3 650 Touring, though? Inside there’s a Rolls-Royce style ‘starry sky’ with loads of little LEDs mounted in the roof lining. Presumably they needed quite a few little lights to fill the long roofed wagon.
