I’ve been lusting/drooling over the 6th generation BMW 3-Series sedan (F30) for a while now; I really like the “angry bird” front styling and the overall look of the car. I haven’t driven it yet but have read reviews and watched hours of videos on the car and hopefully I’ll get to review it soon. As much as I like the car the way it is, there’s always room for improvements and that’s where AC Schnitzer comes in.
The AC Schnitzer tuning package for the BMW 3-Series F30 sedan consists of a minor appearance package and increase in power.
The appearance package consists of a new front lip spoiler, you need to look real close to see it; chrome grill, rear roof spoiler, trunk lip spoiler, new exhaust tips, and a variety of wheels ranging in sizes from 18” to 20”. The tuning kit also includes sporty suspension that lowers the ride height by 25mm, which gives the car a much better stance. The stock stance is the one thing I don’t like about the car, there seems to be too much space in the wheel wells. The AC Schnitzer tuned BMW 3 Series also comes with an optional stripe on the sides, which looks kind of good on the black car pictured at the top.
In the performance department, the upgrade increases the 328i’s output from 240 to 290 horsepower and the 335i’s output is increased to 355 HP from 306 HP. The diesel powered 318d’s horsepower is increased from 141 to 169. AC Schnitzer didn’t provide details on how the higher horsepower was achieved but I’m guessing an engine tune and a new exhaust probably did the trick.
