AC Schnitzer Tunes the BMW M3 Cabriolet

With 420 HP under its hood, the new M3 Cabriolet is no sloucher. That’s the reason why AC Schnitzer decided -for the time being at least- to concentrate its efforts in improving the M3 Cabriolet’s handling and appearance. Apart from the new suspension settings, the Aachen-based tuner’s sport package for the M3 Cabriolet also includes a new 8-pot high performance braking system. In terms of looks, AC Schnitzer offers a full bodykit that consists of a new front skirt underlined by the carbon spoiler lip with optional aluminum braces, bonnet vents, moulded side skirts, a carbon rear diffuser that incorporates new chrome tailpipes and of course, oversized 20-inch alloy wheels. -Image gallery after the jump

AC Schnitzer BMW X5 Falcon

If we are to believe AC Schnitzer, then the Aachen-based tuner’s new wide-bodykit for the BMW X5 was inspired from a falcon. Last time we checked though, falcons actually look like prey birds and not like overstuffed chickens but we guess everyone is entitled to their own opinion. Leaving our personal sense of aesthetics aside, the AC Schnitzer’s Falcon widening kit includes front and rear bumper spoilers, side skirts, fender flairs, a roof spoiler and two triangular air intakes on the bonnet which are complemented by 22-inch alloy wheels and a set of chromed tailpipes. -Continued

The German tuner also offers sport suspension upgrades and a power kit for the BMW X5's 3.0-liter turbo diesel engine which raises output from the standard 286 HP to 310 HP. Maximum torque is also increased from 580 to 680 Nm.

In contrast to the standard X6, AC Schnitzer’s components are painted in the body-colour. Complementing the body kit is a new set of 22-inch multispoke alloy wheels finished in black. -Continued
