BMW X5 xDrive35d gets an upgrade from Hartge

The new performance package increases the 3.0 litre engine's power output from 265bhp to 328bhp, through a reprogrammed ECU and a sports exhaust system. This enables the X5 xDrive35d to go from 0-100km/h in 6.1 seconds, down from 7 seconds for the standard car, and reach a top speed of 244km/h, up from 235km/h.

Hartge has also released a body kit for the X5 xDrive35d to go along with the performance package, which includes new front and rear fascias, wheel arch extensions, and aggressive two-piece side sills. Other additions include a sport spring set with a levelling system for the rear axle, 22-inch "Brilliant Classic 2" wheels, carbon fibre mirror casings, and stainless steel tailpipe finishers.

Inside, the X5 boasts of even more carbon fibre trim, as well as a revised instrument cluster with a 300 km/h speedometer and a silver metallic dial and red needle set, aluminium pedals, and black velour floor mats.
