In February, the new BMW 3-series was launched officially. Now the smart,
energetic Bavarian is winning even more hearts at the international Motor Show
in Geneva - helped by the tuning specialists at AC Schnitzer.
The Aachen-based experts from AC Schnitzer help the 3-series make an even more
impressive appearance with a performance upgrade for the BMW 328i. An extra
control unit allows it to deliver 295 hp (217 kW) and a maximum torque of 302
lb-ft (410 Nm) onto the asphalt, and with its governed top speed of 155 mph (250
km/h), the 3-series by AC Schnitzer tightens the bonds to its driver. As
appearances are also important, these inner values are reflected in the AC
Schnitzer engine styling.
The sedan makes itself heard with the AC Schnitzer sports rear silencer with two
chromed "Racing" tailpipes in right/left combination.
In the 328i by AC Schnitzer, you ride out life's ups and downs on the AC
Schnitzer suspension spring kit. In combination with lowering, this ensures that
you can never lose ground adhesion even on turbulent, twisty events. This is
guaranteed with the AC Schnitzer wheels Type IV BiColor and silver, Type VI and
Type VIII in 18 to 20 inch, which form a solid yet sporting and elegant basis
for the wheelarches.
The ACS3 reveals its inner values with the AC Schnitzer "Black Line" aluminum
cover for the BMW "i-Drive" system controller, the "Black Line" aluminum
handbrake handle, the aluminum pedal set, foot rests and floot mats in velour.
The aerodynamic components from AC Schnitzer make the already excellent standard
model into a vehicle with even more dynamism and sporting ambitions. The AC
Schnitzer front spoiler, chromed front grille, rear roof spoiler, rear spoiler
and rear skirt extension, complemented by designer stripes, can already be
admired in Geneva but will only be available commercially from summer 2012.
