Chances are if you have a
BMW M2
then you're a rather happy person. They're great cars, less intimidating than an M3 but plenty fast enough to still be entertaining. But some people will always be after that bit more, which is where AC Schnitzer can help.
"Yeah, it's not quite right. We need another 10 laps."
Its new ACS2 Sport package for the M2 increases power from 370hp to 420hp through a remap, with torque boosted from 369lb ft to 428lb ft. It's accompanied by a charge cooler as well, with "maximum motorsport feeling" and a "sustained, smooth power delivery." A sports exhaust is also available, which provides the "striking sonorous sounds of a professional athlete." Top work Google Translate.
AC Schnitzer's RS suspension kit is adjustable for compression and rebound, with a ride height reduction of up to 35mm. It has been tested on the Nurburgring, with AC Schnitzer claiming that it stands out on both country roads and the track.

Other parts offered include forged wheels, an AC Schnitzer bodykit and a few interior embellishments. You can probably do without the aluminium cover for the iDrive controller though.
Individual M2 upgrades are available to purchase from AC Schnitzer now. As examples, the performance upgrade - covered by a three-year warranty - is £3,044.69 and the RS suspension is £2,363.51. If you want to go the whole hog, AC Schnitzer is offering the ACS2 Sport conversion that also adds new wheels, an exhaust, a few carbon bits and much more for £20,995 including all fitting charges and VAT. With used M2s around £50K, that looks rather a lot; the power and the suspension would probably suit most tastes. Still, if you have the money and want to be different...
