The all-new BMW 7-Series will be unveiled later this year, but Manhart went back to look at the current G11 model. The MH7 has been around since 2015, but this time Manhart chose an unusual tune centered on the diesel-powered 740d xDrive.

Thanks to ECU remapping and Manhart's Turbo Performance package, the MH7 400d is equipped with a twin-turbo 3.0-liter inline six-cylinder diesel engine that produces 400 hp (298 kW / 405 PS) and 790 Nm (583 lb-ft) of torque. This is a significant improvement over the basic 740d's 315 hp (235 kW / 320 PS) and 680 Nm (502 lb-ft). A modified eight-speed automatic transmission and the standard xDrive system send power to all four wheels.

The photographs show a pre-facelift BMW 7-Series with the M Package. However, the performance kit is also compatible with the sportier G11. It has a carbon fiber front splitter and lip spoiler, as well as the extra Manhart livery, which features gold accents around the body and Manhart logos in place of BMW badges.

Finally, a new set of multi-spoke 22-inch Manhart Venturi alloy wheels are fitted with mixed performance tires (265/30 R22 in front and 295/25 R22 in back). The air suspension has been dropped by 20–30 mm (0.8–1.2 inches) and 15 mm H&R spacers have been installed for a more extreme position.

With white leather upholstery, an Alpina instrument cluster, and a Manhart emblem on the steering wheel, the inside is basically standard, but the Manhart is giving extra customization choices on request.

The wheels cost €4,890 ($5,530), the carbon front splitter is €3,295 ($3,726), the carbon lip spoiler costs €2,340 ($2,646), the carbon rear diffuser requires €3,845 ($4,348), and the Manhart decals cost €1,099 ($1,243). The performance improvements for the 740d xDrive's diesel motor are priced at €6,999 ($7,914).
