Press Release |
For the latest automotive product from Bavaria, the new BMW 3 series (E90), HARTGE introduces an exclusive tuning program, allowing the individual to transform his or her car from a series automobile to an exclusive motor vehicle.
Starting with the engine, the HARTGE performace kit for Diesel-models provides added power, increasing the 320d output to 196 hp and 390 lb-ft of torque. As a result, the sedan now sprints from 0-100 km/hr (0-62.5 mph) in 7.5 sec, and tops out at 230 km/h (144 mph). A supercharger kit is planned for the 3.0L gasoline model, while other engine upgrades are also in the works for later this year.
HARTGE¡Ë¢çE¢®Ec?s engineers have also crafted a sport suspension system, using the roads of Germany inlcuding the Autobahn and the revered Nuerburgring, to establish specific spring and damping rates. The package is available as a complete kit with dampers and springs, and also with just the springs. Both versions lower ride height by 30 mm (1.25¡Ë¢çE¢®Ec¢®E¡Ëc¢®¡×¡Ë¢ç), to reduce the center of gravity and improve handling dynamics. In concert with the suspension improvements, HARTGE Classic wheels in 18, 19, or 20¡Ë¢çE¢®Ec¢®E¡Ëc¢®¡×¡Ë¢ç diameter are available, using corresponding low profile performance tires from preferred suppliers Continental or Pirelli. The new Classic2 wheel is also available for the E90, in a 19¡Ë¢çE¢®Ec¢®E¡Ëc¢®¡×¡Ë¢ç diameter.
Continuing to the rear of the vehicle, HARTGE offers a low restriction stainless steel exhaust with either twin round tailipipe tips, or their timeless oval tip, enhancing the acoustic experience of the new 3 series.
Aesthetically externally, HARTGE¡Ë¢çE¢®Ec?s new front spoiler adds an understated yet individually exclusive appearance to the already handsome 3 series design. Internally, driver and passenger experiences can be enhanced by a variety of HARTGE accessories including a form-fitting leather sport steering wheel available with carbon fiber inserts, gear shift and handbrake levers in leather/aluminum as well as full aluminum construction, aluminum pedals, and velour floormats with the HARTGE logo embroidered in.
With any or all of these components for the new 3 series program from HARTGE, one can transform the newest and very capable BMW sedan to an extraordinary vehicle, and experience what HARTGE calls . . . . ¡Ë¢çE¢®Ec¢®E¡Ëc¢®¡×¡Ë¢çthe fine art of being fast!¡Ë¢çE¢®Ec¢®E¡Ëc¢®¡×¡Ë¢ç
