AC Schnitzer BMW 6-Series: New Sport Pack, Including Upgrade for Diesel Version

The introduction of the subtlety revised BMW 6-Series last summer prompted AC Schnitzer to update its sport package for the Bavarian Coupe. The German tuning firm’s bodykit for the 2008 6-Series includes a rear spoiler with an integrated brake light, new style side skirts, a revised version of AC’s “bunny-tooth” shaped lower air-intake (we don’t know why AC insists on using it) and a new rear skirt. The 6-Series Coupe’s looks are complemented by new 20-inch alloy rims and a new sports rear silencer with chromed tailpipes.

In terms of mechanical upgrades apart from the sport suspension and the high-performance brake system, AC Schnitzer has developed a sport kit for the first diesel version of the 6-Series, the 635d. With AC Schnitzer’s kit, the ACS6 3.5d’s 3.0-liter, twin-turbocharged straight six develops 310 HP and 680 Nm or 501 lbs/ft of toque instead of 286 HP and 580 Nm.

As for the 650i, thanks to a series of upgrades, power is rises from 367 HP to a 411 HP. At the same time, driving performance improves with the ASC6’s top speed increased by 35 km/h or 21 MPH, to 285 km/h or 177 MPH. –More images after the jump

AC Schnitzer ACS1 3.5i: 360 HP BMW 135i Coupe

We begin our Essen Motor Show report today with the AC Schnitzer prepped BMW 135i Coupe. The ACS1 3.5i is equipped with a modified version of the standard twin turbocharged 3.o-liter straight six engine which now delivers 360 instead of 306 HP while maximum torque rises from 400 to 450 Nm. According to the German tuner, the ACS1 3.5i accelerates from standstill to 100 km/h (62 mph) in less than five seconds (135i Coupe: 5,3 sec) while the top speed has risen from 250 km/h (155 mph) to an impressive 300 km/h (187 mph). -Continued after the jump

Along with the engine upgrades, AC Schnitzer has improved the 135i Coupe's handling with a sport tuned suspension and a new strut brace for the front, to further reduce the torsion of the body.

Naturally, AC Schnitzer offers a full bodykit for the 135i Coupe, but to be honest, we don't care much about it and if anything else, we could have done without the 'Turbo' logo at the rear-end of the vehicle which looks like it was stolen from a pimped Zastava Yugo.

The bodykit consists of a new front-grille, front spoiler, rear skirt insert, rear wing and rear roof spoiler combined with 19-inch alloy wheels 225/35R19 tires. Finally, AC Schnitzer offers a wide range of accessories for the interior including a 3-spoke sports airbag steering wheel and carbon fibre decorative trim.
