Manhart Racing really have outdone themselves this year, with a compact powerhouse that's cooler and more fun to drive than when it entered their shop. We liked all the bold features on the car immediately after laying eyes on it at the Essen Motor Show 2013. After all, that's what tuning is all about.
Starting out with the 135i, the BMW tuners have founded 400 hp under the bonnet of the car, together with 560 Nm of torque.
A suspension upgrade courtesy of KW Clubsport has also been fitted, together with 380 mm brakes disks, Ultraleggera wheels from OZ and a body kit. The whole package was wrapped up with a pretty bow of wrap. Manhart chose metallic black with yellow accents for the car, giving the 1 Series that custom look everybody likes.
Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s. He also loves local car culture from all over the world, so don't be surprised to see him getting excited about weird Japanese imports, low-rider VWs out of Germany, replicas from Russia or LS swaps down in Florida.
