Lowered with decent sized wheels & not staggered...exactly what the G8x was crying out for.
Amazing what some carefully selected mods can do. (Not a fan of the gold stickers but they're just stickers).
G82 actually looks better than the G80 too .

If you get rid of the "John Player Special" gold graphic stripes it actually looks really good.

Rear fog light/Fourth brake light does nothing for me...sorry.

Sorta looks like the German version of the Smokey and the Bandit Trans Am...and not in a positive light.

They claim they're going to tune the comp models to 620hp and then even further.... yet we don't even know if the ECU can be unlocked still right???

For the first time IMO G82 looks better than G80 especially in that guise. Kick ass

As if it weren't overstyled enough already.

Oh no...
To be honest, it looks shitty and tacky.
I'd call this "gipsy tuning"

As stated in the OP, this first stage is with a "powerbox" tune. Ie piggyback.

I have been to Manhart a number of times the last few years, and their cars look even better in person. Their 8-series for instance just looks so sick in real life, so much more menacing than on photos.

The black with gold accents are their publicity design. Very few, if any, of their customer cars have the full on gold decal kit.

The M4 render appears to darken/blur the lower grille section to draw your eyes to where BMW kidneys would normally be above the bumper line. The bright edge of the lip helps hide this as well as transitioning the lines of the lower grille. The bright lines on the flares help add some lightness to an otherwise chunky design.

In reality I don't think it will look like that good but it's an improvement to me.

I still prefer the OEM design, but with that said, this looks promising. Probably ditch the decals on the paint and windshield if I were to get it. Totally digging the black and gold rim combo as well

This is probably the best looking G82 I've seen so far. Yes, I realize that for many of us, that's not saying much.

I see what some of you are saying about the colors and the striping, but Manhart quite deliberately does it to divert attention away from the front grill, select a color that blanks out all the BMW design clutter, and create strong lines to clean things up visually. Maybe I wouldn't have underlined the prolapsed rectum like they did with the rear diffuser line, though.

This is complete nonsense and shows that you don't know anything about Manhart.

Manhart is very good in Photoshop.

1) The picture is probably fake
2) The "tune" is nothing more then a piggyback (in best case), with the results of the X3M/X4M
3) 99% sure they haven't event tested this


remember GPOWER M5 couple of years ago, their stage 2 was slower then a stage 1 ECU tune.

Marketing & reality is often a lot different.
