At first glance, the MH2 450 from MANHART might appear to be a performance-tuned version of the BMW M2, but this compact coupe offers a different approach. The MH2 450 is based on the BMW M240i, which is powered by a 3.0-liter B58 twin-power turbo inline-six engine. While the stock M240i delivers 374 hp and 500 Nm of torque, MANHART’s team pushes these figures to 440 hp and 600 Nm using their custom MHtronik powerbox. This refined power increase gives the car an aggressive performance upgrade while maintaining reliability.
To complement the enhanced engine, the MH2 450 features a GRAIL rear silencer with valve control and four 100-millimetre tailpipes, ensuring a rich and powerful exhaust note. For even more ambitious drivers, MANHART offers optional Stage 2 and Stage 3 performance upgrades.
In terms of handling, the MH2 450 is fitted with MANHART lowering springs by H&R or the more advanced MANHART Variant 4 coilover suspension by KW, giving the car sportier dynamics and improved road presence. The lowering effect also enhances the car’s stance, making it visually more aggressive.
Visual and Aesthetic Enhancements
The lowered stance allows the custom MANHART Concave One wheels to shine, with a setup of 20-inch rims in glossy white—a striking finish that can be customized by the buyer. Wrapped in 245/30ZR20 tires at the front and 285/25ZR20 at the rear, these wheels provide excellent grip and an assertive look.
Additional carbon fiber parts, including a front spoiler, side sills, a rear diffuser, and a rear spoiler, further enhance the MH2 450’s aggressive styling. A bespoke MANHART trim set rounds out the exterior upgrades, giving the car a bold and unmistakable appearance.
Interior Refinement
Inside the cabin, the MH2 450 features a luxurious leather/Alcantara steering wheel cover with MANHART carbon shift paddles. The spokes are painted in black lacquer, adding to the premium feel of the cockpit. These details elevate the driving experience, combining comfort with racing-inspired aesthetics.
The MANHART MH2 450 is the ultimate performance upgrade for BMW M240i owners who seek to stand out with both power and style.
