Sporting interior
The Z4 Coupé is one of the highlights of the sports car segment and, in M guise, delivers a performance that is way beyond criticism. Nevertheless, everything can be made that little bit better. HAMANN took up the challenge and has not only created an aerodynamic kit for the Z4 M Coupé but also boosted the engine output. Additionally, a large range of accessories contributes to greater individuality.
New aerodynamic components
A HAMANN front spoiler
gives the Z4 Coupé a more striking look. It gives the car even more
sporting lines and comes with ellipsoidal fog lamps. At the same
time, it cuts front-end lifting force. For customers who prefer to
retain the original bumper, HAMANN can provide mouldings with air
inlets. Side skirts lower the Z4 visually and make Chris Bangle's
rather austere lines more pleasing to the eye. Additionally, an air
inlet on each side, positioned just ahead of the rear wing, ensures
better cooling for the rear brakes. The Laupheim-based tuning
company also offers mouldings for the headlight, which round off the
visual improvements at the front. To reduce rear-end lifting force,
HAMANN fits a striking rear spoiler to the tailgate. The spoiler
blends in perfectly with the basic design and emphasises the car's
attractive rear end. The roof spoiler also makes an aerodynamic and
visual contribution to the Z4 M Coupé by HAMANN. The final optical
tweak is the rear diffuser, which HAMANN fits under the rear skirt,
whereby cut-outs for the exhaust tailpipes act as counterparts to
the apertures in the rear skirt. Thus, the tailpipes are completely
surrounded by components, which gives the rear view an additional
competition touch.
Anyone who considers the (limited) max. speed of 250 km/h to be
insufficient can ask HAMANN to derestrict the engine, which results
in a top speed of 273 km/h with the standard engine. Blessed with
343 bhp ex-works, HAMANN tickles a little bit more out of the
high-revving engine. Reprogramming the standard engine management
system produces an extra 15 bhp (11 kW). Torque rises by 20 Nm.
Reprogramming also includes circumvention of the Vmax limit and,
after being thus tweaked, the HAMANN Z4 M Coupé reaches 275 km/h.
A great engine needs a great sound. Accordingly, HAMANN offers a
4-tailpipe rear silencer with stainless-steel tailpipes (4 x 76 mm
diameter) for the Z4 M Coupé. Even better sound and a more immediate
reaction to throttle changes can be achieved by installing a
high-performance exhaust manifold and metal sports catalytic
converters.
HAMANN provides for even greater agility by fitting progressive
suspension springs that lower the ride height by 25 mm. To make the
body even stiffer, HAMANN also offers a two-part strut-tower breach
(with HAMANN logo), which is fitted at the front.
Two wheel designs in 19 and 20 inches
When it comes to wheels, the HAMANN range has few challengers. In other words, customers have a tempting choice of two aluminium designs and different dimensions for the Z4 M Coupé. HAMANN wheels can also be ordered as complete sets of wheels with tyres.
In the first place,
there is the PG3 design. This attractive, multi-part, five-spoke
wheel with a silver finish and polished outboard rim flange is
available in the dimensions 19 and 20 inches. The wheel / tyre
combinations offered:
- 8.5 J x 19 (front), 10 J x 19 (rear) / 235/35 ZR 19, 265/30 ZR 19
- 8.5 J x 20 (front), 10.5 J x 20 (rear) / 235/30ZR 20, 285/25 ZR 20
The single-piece Anniversary I wheel design with a multi-piece look
is also available in the dimensions 19 and 20 inches. With its
silver finish and highly polished INOX stainless-steel lips, the
Anniversary I is also an eye catcher and available in the following
combinations:
- 8.5 J x 19 (front), 10 J x 19 (rear) / 235/35 ZR 19, 265/30 ZR 19
- 9 J x 20 (front), 10.5 J x 20 (rear) / 235/30ZR 20, 285/25 ZR 20
A variety of HAMANN accessories and appointments make the interior
of the Z4 M Coupé significantly more sporting, e.g., the exclusive
HAMANN floor mats with HAMANN logo, a finely wrought aluminium
hand-brake grip, competition aluminium pedals, a sports gear-lever
knob (two versions: aluminium / leather or 'Racing' aluminium) and a
carbon interior set in every conceivable colour, consisting of
dashboard mouldings, door-grip mouldings, gear-lever knob and centre
consol. The result: a breath of racing air inside the Z4! Naturally,
HAMANN can also modify every Z4 M Coupé in accordance with
individual customer requirements, e.g., with luxurious leather
appointments in a variety of colours or multi-media conversions.
