HAMANN Released details FOR 2009 BMW 7 Series

As a follow up from the initial photos, HAMANN has just released details

regarding the work they have done on the new BMW 7 Series (F01 and F02).

The exterior has been beefed up by installing a new front skirt with

integrated LED daytime running lights, a roof spoiler and a rear

spoiler. Four tailpipes poke out from the rear bumper. Side skirts are

part of the aerodynamic package and they also enhance the look.







The 730d has received a performance upgrade from the stock 180kW

(245hp). According to HAMANN this is only the first stage in the

engine's development. Power has been increased to 213kW (290hp).







Buyers can select from a range of wheels, from 19-inch to

22-inch in diameter. The top deep dish alloy rims are sized at

9.0Jx22 inches up front and 10.5Jx22 inches at the rear. They

come in a glossy black paint with a diamond-grinded rim star.

Respectively the matching tyres are 265/30ZR22 and 295/25ZR22.





HAMANN accessories are a given for this car. Some include aluminium foot

pedals and foot rests with matching embroidered floor mats.



The 730d and 740i receive four progressively coiled chassis springs each.

These lower the cars' centre of gravity by up to 40 millimetres. The 750i and

750Li have a different lowering kit which is made of two chassis springs and a

leveling kit.

The HAMANN refining programme for the new BMW 7-series



Individualisation on the highest level



Individualisation on the highest level - this is the motto under which

HAMANN presents its refining programme for the new BMW 7-series of the

model range F01 and F02. Already since 1986, the Laupheim-based company

develops and produces products for the individualisation of BMW

automobiles. Thereby, the HAMANN technicians profit from hundreds of

successful motor sports participations. The competence which was gained

there is the basis for the development of new HAMANN products and

renders the highest level for product quality and processing. The

result: stainless steel exhaust systems with a sporty and earthy sound,

aerodynamics components reducing the lifting forces and striking light

alloy rims from 19 to 22 inches. Interiors perfectly fitted with leather

and combined with floor-mats in matching colours as well as non-slip

aluminium pedals extend the accessory range.



Already when establishing the design, HAMANN perfectly adjusts the

individual components of the aerodynamic pack. The result is an exciting

styling with an optimised air flow across the car silhouette. LED

daytime running lights which are integrated in the new front skirt,

render a sporty-dynamic look and increase the passive safety.

Simultaneously, in combination with the roof spoiler and the rear

spoiler, the lifting forces are reduced and give the upper class

limousine a new, attractive overall appearance. The visual connection

between the front and rear part are the HAMANN side skirts which are

available for the model series F01. The optionally available rear shield

insert for the side skirt of the model 730d and 740i allows fitting the

four-pipe sport end muffler. Four round stainless steel end pipes with a

diameter of 90 millimetres perfectly enhance the rear part of the

7-series BMW and produce a powerful, earthy sound.



A performance enhancement for the Diesel engine with variable turbine

geometrics is already under construction. By this first tuning stage the

serial measure of the 730d (180 kW / 245 hp) increases by approximately

33 kW/45 hp.



A technical highlight of the offered tuning programme is the one-piece

HAMANN-aluminium wheel called DESIGN HM EVO 22 inches. A hallmark of the

modern styling is the glossy black paint with the diamond-grinded rim

star and the discreet deep rim well. Five elongated and over-vaulted

triple spokes document visual and technical finesse. Struts inside the

spokes render additional stability. Modern production processes and the

use of special aluminium alloys guarantee highest bearing loads at a low

weight. Here, HAMANN recommends the dimensions 9.0Jx22 inches with

265/30ZR22 tyres at the front axle and 10.5Jx22 inches with 295/25ZR22

tyres at the rear axle.



The four progressively coiled chassis springs which lower the centre of

gravity with the models 730d, 740i by 40 millimetres at the front- and

rear axles, render a dynamic appearance. For the models 750i and 750Li,

there is a lowering kit consisting of two chassis springs and an evening

kit.



In addition to the existing, serial interior equipment, HAMANN

accessories made first-class aluminium, pedals and foot-rests render

motor sports air and perfectly match the embroidered HAMANN floor mat

set. If desired, even a complete leather equipment can be produced with

expert precision.
