Swiss tuner turns out its first BMW model but promises it won't be the last

This is the first time that MANSORY has tuned a BMW model. But the Swiss tuner promises it won't be the last.

On the outside, MANSORY adds a little bulk to the X5 by way of widened fenders and side skirts which stretch the width of the X5 by 70 mm at the front and 80 mm at the rear. A front spoiler with cooling inlets and a new carbon-fiber bonnet with additional air inlets are also part of the package. At the rear is a quad stainless-steel sport exhaust system with integrated carbon fiber diffuser and a roof spoiler for extra downforce.

The X5 is also lowered by 40 mm and is fitted with a sport brake system and 315/25R23 tires for the silver mono-block cast wheels.

For under the bonnet, MANSORY provides a substantial boost in power for the X5 M model - dialed up to 670 PS (493 kW / 661 bhp) and a maximum torque reading of 950 Nm from the standard 555 PS (408 kW / 547 bhp) and 680 Nm (502 lb-ft). Top speed is 300 km/h and the 0 to 100 km/h sprint takes just 4.2 seconds.

On the inside is a wide range of options where MANSORY will individually make a leather finish tailored to your choosing. A new sport steering wheel is also available.

"The X5 is just the beginning. Other fascinating refinements for the BMW X6 as well as for the BMW 7 series are soon to follow," said Mansory Managing Director Michael Stein in the company press release.

MANSORY Switzerland AG enhances its product portfolio with a product line for BMW Automobile.

For the very first time MANSORY Switzerland AG presents an individualized programme for current BMW models. The X5 will be the first model of the white-blue brand to be treated to an extensive refinement process. “The X5 is just the beginning,” announced Managing Director Michael Stein. “In response to the many requests of our importers and customers, we will very shortly be developing an exclusive programme for the bodywork, performance and interior of other selected BMW models. Other fascinating refinements for the BMW X6 as well as for the BMW 7 series are soon to follow.”

In the development stages, MANSORY Switzerland AG attaches great importance to both individual design as well as to precisely tailored workmanship. The programme for the SUV X5 has already skilfully set these standards. Stylish coordinated components make the broadly-built frame a real eye-catcher. An integral part of the imposing front structure is a very sporty front spoiler with big cooling air inlets. An extra light engine bonnet made entirely from carbon optimises the supply of fresh air to the front motor with ventilating channels. MANSORY individualization achieves a unique appearance with much broader fenders, which create an entity with the newly fitted side skirts. With an additional vehicle width of 70 millimetres at the front and 80 millimetres at the back, the MANSORY X5 conveys the message of pure power, even when stationary.

The back-spoilers have also been newly designed with an integrated diffuser, making space for the four stainless-steel tailpipes of the sport exhaust system. These fit the vehicle’s new image of masculinity perfectly. Further features made from exposed carbon give the refining process the finishing touches. This includes amongst others the roof spoiler, which provides additional downforce and improves the stability of the vehicle at high speeds. The new aerodynamic components are largely manufactured by the engineers out of MANSORY characteristic prepeg-autoclave carbon. This enables an almost perfect surface quality with minimal weight.

The striking appearance of the MANSORY-SUV is assisted by a wide range of performance kits for the standard engines. The highlight is a vigorous upgrade for the BMW X5 M aggregate. Approximately 670 hp /493kW and a torque of 950 Nm at a rate of 5900 Umin (series: 555 hp / 408 kW and 680 Nm at a rate of 1500 – 5650 Umin) results from the use of a completely new exhaust system along with headers as well as optimised engine electrics. Thanks to these changes, the 4x4 accelerates in only 4.2 seconds to a speed of 100 km/h and achieves a maximum speed of 300 km/h.

MANSORY provides an alloy rim especially made to meet the requirements of the BMW-SUV, which is significantly better for handling and additionally sharpens the vehicle’s optics. The silver monoblock cast wheels with the description M10 are fitted with tyres of the dimension 315/25R23, which guarantee proper grip. In connection with lowering the vehicle’s centre of gravity by 40mm with sport springs on the front axle as well by 40 mm on the back axle with adjusted vehicle height, the masculine appearance of the MANSORY X5 is glamorously rounded off. In addition, the sports suspension improves handling. A sports break system with larger discs and multi-piston brake callipers is already being tested.

An interior highlight is the newly designed sports steering wheel, which ergonomically leaves no question unanswered. Whether stylish or sporty, MANSORY Switzerland offers the required solution for every taste of interior design. All special fittings are individually manufactured to meet your needs and are integrated into your vehicle by professionals. The private upholstery services can produce everything that your heart desires with high precision craftsmanship, with everything from personalized floor mats to a complete leather interior.

Did you even look at the pictures? The car looks nice a sleek and not overdone at the same time. I am glad they kept it a bit low profile. This thing looks really good.
