AC Schnitzer Reveals BMW 1-Series Cabriolet Sport Package

Following the introduction of the AC Schnitzer program for the BMW 1-Series Coupe at last year's ESSEN Show, the German tuning firm has now revealed its sport package for the convertible version of the compact bimmer.

Power-wise, AC Schnitzer kits boost the 135i's output from 306 to 360Hp, the 120d's from 177 to 200Hp and the 123d's from 204 to 240Hp. The engine upgrades can be complemented with a sport suspension or for those who want the full works, a height adjustable racing suspension. -Continued

Inside, the AC Schnitzer treatment includes a carbon fiber trim, a sport steering wheel and various aluminum accessories.
