No shots of the interior to call true/false on, but I would assume so.

EDIT: More information from www.hartge.de:

The HARTGE H50 V10

The first thing that strikes you is the two-tone paint work, the special air-outlets on the bonnet and wings, as well as the HARTGE front-spoiler lip and the HARTGE rear spoiler. The 3 series BMW from the Saarland – to be more exact, the HARTGE
H50 V10 – is a masterwork in many ways and not all of them visual. In particular, the HARTGE engineers and mechanics have achieved something very special under the thermodynamically optimised bonnet. Fitted with a modified M5 V10 engine, a
7-speed SMG gear box and the HARTGE modification to raise maximum speed from the electronically limited 250 km/h to 320 km/h, the H50 V10 puts all its power – 550 bhp and torque of 520 Nm (384 lb-ft) – onto the tarmac via a reinforced rear axle and a special suspension setup that is adjustable in terms of both rebound and compression. Also new and made especially for the HARTGE H50 V10, is the stainless steel exhaust system, which turns the V10 sound into an acoustic delight. Customers can choose between two dual round (or oval) tail pipes. The wheel / tyre combination consists of 9 x 20 offset 40 at the front and 10 x 20 offset 40 at the back fitted with 245/30 ZR 20 and 285/25 ZR 20 Continental tyres respectively.

Last but not least: the HARTGE H50 V10 interior:

Particularly striking are, besides the 330 km/h speedometer, the carbon interior trim, the 3-spoke leather steering wheel with carbon inserts, the illuminated leather / aluminium gear knob and the leather / aluminium handbrake cover.

With the H50 V10, HARTGE is continuing its long tradition of making wolves in sheep's clothing for individualists who attach importance to understatement:

HARTGE – the elegant way to drive fast.

The H50 V10 is based on the BMW 3 series saloon (E90). A comparable conversion is currently being developed for the Touring (E91) and Coupé (E92).

So yes, they are indeed running the SMG.

that didn't take long

can you say ultimate driving machine? shit

[Jarvis]

Can you say ugly pile of shit? Who cares if it's fast.

Impressive....only the power-crazed folks at Hartge would make good on such a feat. What would really rock is if they left the exterior stock (or perhaps the factory aero package), debadge the trunk and then some 19s which lack any serious bling factor. The ultimate sleeper machine.

WOW. Someone on r3v with taste? You sir are an endangered species.

[Jand3rson]

Love the rear end and the sides, hate the front.

Fucking awesome car overall.

To each his own. Some people like the look. Speaking totally objectively as someone who's gone through many "design" oriented classes in college, it's a solid design full of many good queues. Bash the design if you must, but no one can deny this car is going to be seriously fast anywhere.

I think its perfect... the rims are amazing and the stance + the wheel size and offset is just amazing.
