For owners of the BMW M3 Touring that want to make it faster and more special, Manhart is offering the MH3 650 package that combines performance, suspension, and styling upgrades.
The Wuppertal-based tuner originally announced the MH3 650 Touring in November 2022 with a couple of renderings but the first finished example made its public debut in May 2023 at the Tuning World Bondesee fair in Friedrichshafen, Germany. Now Manhart is announcing the pricing details while releasing more info about the upgrades.

This particular MH3 650 Touring features a baby blue wrap combined with black graphics and plenty of exposed carbon fiber aero components. Besides having the optional M Carbon exterior package installed from the factory, Manhart‘s M3 Touring gets the bonnet and front splitter from the M4 CSL, a new grille, two sets of canards on the front bumper, and intake garnish.
Similarly, the profile gets side skirts and fender add-ons, although the most eye-catching feature is the alloy wheels by Yido Performance measuring 20 inches at the front and 21 inches at the rear. Besides the new shoes, the M3 Touring sits noticeably closer to the ground thanks to the adjustable H&R lowering springs. At the back, there is a lip extension on the roof spoiler and Manhart’s quad 100-mm (3.9 inches) exhaust pipes. Finally, there are a few interior upgrades including Manhart badges and starry sky LEDs on the roof reminiscent of the fellow BMW Group brand Rolls-Royce.
The eye-catching exterior is combined with a significant power boost courtesy of the MHtronic auxiliary control unit. As a result, the twin-turbo 3.0-liter inline-six engine produces 641 hp (478 kW / 650 PS) and 800 Nm (590 lb-ft) of torque, matching the MH3 GTR which is Manhart’s most powerful tuned M3. The rear silencer by Remus and the HJS sport downpipes will make sure that the sound matches the wild looks.
A visit to Manhart’s online shop reveals that the most expensive item is the carbon fiber hood of the M4 CSL, listed for an absurd €17,250 ($18,834). Other costly elements include the €5,829 ($6,363) alloy wheels, the €4,165 ($4,546) Remus sport exhaust, and the €3,510 ($3,831) MHtronic control unit which is responsible for the extra ponies.
