November 17, 2023 Francis Mitterrand

In its 36 years of tuning BMW cars, the German company AC Schnitzer has improved some of the best models of this German brand. Now, the tuner has introduced the ACS2 Sport based on the new generation BMW M2 G87.

The car is equipped with several carbon body components based on a modular principle, which means that you can opt for a complete conversion or select individual parts. Among them, the newly designed front spoiler stands out, which Aachen points out significantly improves the car’s aerodynamics.

The adaptive suspension has been improved, which allows the front part to be closer to the ground by an additional 35 mm, and the rear by 30 mm. There’s also an adaptive exhaust system with carbon tips, a set of black or gold 20 and 21-inch AC4 Lightweight wheels wrapped in 285/30/20 front and 295/25/21 tires, while the brakes have not been changed.

Under the hood is a 3.0-liter twin-turbo engine with 453 hp (333 kW) and 406 lb-ft (550 Nm) of torque. The engine is paired with a 6-speed manual transmission that sends power to the rear wheels. It reaches 62 mph (100 km/h) in 4.3 seconds (4.1 seconds with the 8-speed automatic transmission) with a top limited speed of 250 km/h (155 mph).

BMW i4 upgraded by AC Schnitzer

August 26, 2022 Francis Mitterrand

A few months ago, AC Schnitzer celebrated 35 years of tuning BMW cars. Now the German tuner has decided to show its skills on electric cars like the BMW i4. The focus was on the exterior and the suspension.

First of all, the aerodynamics of the body has been improved by installing new carbon components such as a front splitter, a front mask with wings in the corner of the lower part, inserts on the openings behind the front wheels, a subtle roof spoiler, a carbon rear spoiler (optional) and carbon wings that are placed on corners of the rear part of the car. There are also two sets of wheels, AC4 and AC1. The AC1 is adorned with five slim double spokes in silver and anthracite, while the AC4 set has five pairs of spokes that taper inward at the rim, and is available in black or silver-black.

Inside, everything remains the same as the standard model, with the tuner offering aluminum accessories such as pedal covers, iDrive controller cover and key holder.

When it comes to propulsion, AC Schnitzer didn’t touch anything. The BMW i4 comes in two versions, the eDrive40 and the M50. The BMW i4 eDrive40 is powered by an electric motor with 340 hp (250 kW) and 317 lb-ft (430 Nm) of torque. With rear-wheel drive, it reaches 62 mph in 5.5 seconds. It is equipped with an 80.7-kWh battery pack that provides a range of 300 miles (483 kilometers). The more powerful version of the M50 is powered by two electric motors with a total of 544 hp (397 kW) and 586 lb-ft (795 Nm) of torque. With all-wheel drive, it reaches 62 mph in 3.9 seconds with a maximum electronically limited speed of 140 mph (225 km / h). It is equipped with an 80.7-kWh battery pack that provides a range of 245 miles (394 kilometers).
