Reply from Hartge:
I don't think the tax is a problem, as you saw a customer from Australia ordered the complete M5 stuff.

We include an installation manual and our things can be
installed by every dealer.

Thanks all,

I am really looking forward to hearing & seeing the Hartge exhausts in person. Does anyone in the UK have these fitted?

I agree the Interlagos color looks great with the Hartge kit......I actually didn't care for the Interlagos Blue and it wasn't even on my list of colors to chose from....But those pictures actually have me reconsidering my color choice....Jay.S

HOT

the big wheels look awesome and the blue is as always one of the best colors for any BMW IMHO

Great job at Hartge..

Saw the car today on Östermalmsgatan, Stockholm

Cell phone pics:

Speaking of 21 inch Hartge, I realise even though they are 21 inch, the diameter (important for acceleration) is smaller than the standard M5 E60! So it is only that added weight of the wheels tht hampers performance.

My calculations:

Hartge wheels:

Front: 686, 4 mm
Rear: 680,9 mm

BMW M5 standard wheels:

Front: 686,6 mm
Rear: 682,1 mm

Formula: (width [mm] * profile [%]* 2) + (diameter[inch] * 25,4 [mm])

Units: mm = metric millimeter and inches

Could this be correct?

It would be great if someone could weight both to see the differences,
stock wheel with tires vs Hartge wheel with tires, anyone?

I know the standard M5 wheels weight (tyres and rim) but only the rim on the Hartge wheels.

Mmm I definately have to get this kit when I get the car.
