That’s a question the tuner’s representatives might pop in a sitdown to discuss possible modifications available for your fresh M240i Coupe. Yep, the pictured car is not the full-blown M2 but the M240i, which bridges the gap between the top-of-the-line and lesser models.
Manhart calls it the MH2 450, which is a clear reference to the vehicle’s new output in European horsepower – sort of. You see, it doesn’t exactly boast 450 ps but 440 ps (434 hp/324 kW) and 600 Nm (443 lb-ft) of torque. By comparison, the twin-turbo 3.0L straight-six engine is good for 374 ps (369 hp/275 kW) and 500 Nm (369 lb-ft) of torque.As you have noticed, Manhart’s MH2 450 is a bit less punchy than the 2025 BMW M2, which enjoys 480 ps (473 hp/349 kW). If that’s an issue, you should know that the quoted tuner also offers Stage 2 and Stage 3 upgrades for the M240i. A new exhaust system with valve control and quad tailpipes is also on the shelves, allowing the engine to breathe more freely.If you must know, the brakes remain stock, but Manhart offers interested parties the possibility to opt for enhanced ones. On top of that, a set of H&R lowering springs is available for the BMW M240i Coupe, bringing the car closer to the asphalt and improving its handling. The KW Variant 4 suspension is also available.Photo: Manhart
Besides the oily upgrades, the pictured vehicle has been equipped with new wheels. They measure 9×20 and 10.5×20 inches front and rear, respectively, wrapped in 245/30 and 285/25 tires, respectively. They have a six double-spoke design and a white finish, and suit the revamped design very good, especially with the motorsport-inspired livery that mixes various hues, including black, red, white, and gray, and displays the tuner’s name on the doors.Manhart’s logo is also visible at the front and rear, and the tuner has equipped the pictured M240i with a new chin spoiler, side skirt add-ons, a rear diffuser, and a rear spoiler, all of which were made of carbon fiber. The interior benefits from a new steering wheel upholstered in a leather and Alcantara mix, new carbon fiber paddle shifters, and black steering wheel spokes.Manhart’s widebody kit will set you back €6,590 (equal to $7,330). For the KW Variant 4 Coilovers, customers must fork out another €6,499 ($7,230), and the decal set is €5,695 ($6,335). Thus, you’re looking at a pretty sum to turn your BMW M240i into the Manhart MH2 450. But is it worth it? And would you opt for it if you owned an M240i Coupe?
