BMW M Coupé by AC Schnitzer
|
BMW tuner AC Schnitzer's done its inimitable job on the BMW M Coupé.
It takes off faster than the standard model thanks to a shortening of the rear axle ratio from 3.62:1 to 3.91:1, plus it boasts new rear silencers made completely of special steel with chromed tailpipes, they're said to "provide a more sonorous note" than the standard system.
Suspension is upgraded with new parts including a anti-roll bar kit and strut braces, sitting above Type IV and, Type III alloy and racing rims. The M Roadster and M Coupé are fitted with 9.0J x 20-inch and 245/30 R 20 on the front and 10.0J x 20-inch with 285/25 R 20 on the rear.
The new aero package consists of carbon front spoiler elements that optionally can be joined to the front spoiler with chromed aluminium supports. In addition, the new chrome front grille meets air flow demands from the 3.2-litre engine. The rear end gets a fully integrated carbon rear diffuser, available with two different versions of the special rear skirt edge frame, depending on which exhaust is fitted. There's a new three-piece wing available too.
Inside, there's a shorter gearstick for faster shifts, sitting next to carbon interior trim in silver, aluminium accessories in silver or black anodised finish. There is also a pedal set with matching foot rest, a handbrake handle and a selector knob for manual cars.
