This is the new big-mouthed X5 from Hartge , a firm world-renowned for its subtle tuning programmes for BMW s. Like the Z3M Coupe or 1-Series, it's built with a whacking great 5.0-litre V8 under the bonnet. The new car, nicknamed Road Runner, is based on the diesel X5 and features a new front spoiler, rear skirt and two-piece side sills. A modified ECU 'performs absolute miracles', according to Hartge. By which we assume it means boosting power rather than turning diesel into wine. The 3.0d goes up from 235bhp to 275bhp, while the torque increases from 384lb ft to 443lb ft. 0-60mph comes up in just under 7.4 seconds - a second quicker than the standard car. A 30mm suspension drop and a set of 22-inch wheels complete the Hartge 's mentalism, and if you really, must, honestly have one, it'll cost you around £60,000. © Source: topgear We need your comments below >>

Gerrard was the first owner of this 2004 BMW X5 4.8is off-roader which he owned for six months before passing it on to fellow footballer and friend, Bolton star Kevin Nolan. The top-spec BMW X5 is powered by a 4.8-litre V8 engine which produces 360bhp and 369lb/ft of pulling power.The engine – mated to an automatic gearbox – accelerates the German 4x4 from 0-62mph (100kph) in just 6.1 seconds before reaching 153mph and can average 20.9mpg.

If you bought a BMW X5 , you probably didn't do so because you wanted everyone to look at you. However, just in case you're a gawker-seeker who was somehow forced into purchasing an X5 , Hamann has the kit to make sure you get all the looks you can handle. It's called the Hamann Flash , and in case you forget its name, or if someone else wants to know what it's called, " Flash " is written on the front doors. In addition to that exterior feature, it gets new front and rear aprons, fender flares, a roof spoiler, and four choices of wheel riding on a specially-developed suspension and halted by a bespoke brake system. All powerplant options get the power boost treatment, with the 4.4-liter V8 topping the charts at 368-HP, but we think we'd go with the 3.0sd with 320-HP and 486 lb-ft. And with the custom exhaust, all versions make a sound described as "growling thunder." Inside, the SAV gets exclusive Hamann black mat flooring, aluminum pedals, carbon...
