AC SCHNITZER Program for the E64 6 Series Cabrio

ACS6 Cabrio

Even as standard, the 6 series models are in the highest automotive class and so offer the AC Schnitzer engineers the chance to create a truly perfect car. True, we have a rather dynamic and sporting idea of automotive perfection. This is reflected in every single AC Schnitzer product, in every minute detail.

Performance Upgrades

Engine tuning and performance upgrades have a long tradition at AC Schnitzer. To be on the safe side however, we prefer not to extract the maximum possible power but instead ensure greater robustness, which means a longer life of the engine. Many of our diesel performance upgrades are therefore designed for an increase in torque rather than an increase in horsepower. Because torque is what you feel when for example you're "pressed back in the seat" on pulling away. Even without engine tuning, we recommend fitting the AC Schnitzer sports rear silencer with chromed tailpipe trim, which is made completely from special steel and optimizes response behavior.

Suspension

The sporting performance is further enhanced by the AC Schnitzer sports suspension which has been undergone tests on public roads and on the North Loop of the Nürburgring. As well as simply lowering by around 25 mm, we have made the 6-series Coupé stiffer for more sporting performance while retaining maximum comfort. In addition the suspension concept is completed with anti roll bars and - for pure lowering of the 6 series Coupé - with a spring kit.

The Bodywork

Naturally our engineers and designers, worked in close collaboration and have developed a unique aerodynamic conversion consisting of front spoiler in a new sporting design, side skirt inserts, rear spoiler and a rear skirt. The aerodynamic range is completed by a chrome line Set, to provide some chrome highlights if desired.

Interior

Exclusivity is also the key word for the cockpit: as well as a carbon fiber interior trim in the new "Exclusive Design" in silver and an ergonomically designed airbag sports steering wheel, above all the aluminum accessories, e.g. for the controller of the BMW-specific "i-Drive System", provide the finishing touches.

The Wheels

In the first stage of development work, AC Schnitzer adapted the alloy and racing wheels for the 6 series. These wheels are available in Type II, Type III and Type IV design up to the maximum size 9,0J x 21" with 255/30 R 21 on the front and 10,0J x 20" with 295/25 R 21 on the rear axle.

The absolute highlight in the wheel range is the new "Type V - Forged Wheel". This lightweight forged wheel with the bi-color finish achieves an apparent contradiction: Reduction in weight with simultaneous maximum wheel diameters and widths. It is available in the dimensions 9,0J x 20" and 10,0 J x 20" and the weight of the front axle wheel is only approx. 10,8 kg.
