AC SCHNITZER Program for the E46 3 Series Touring

The ACS3 Touring

Excellent engineering has always been characterized by special aesthetics. This is particularly true for the BMW 3-series Touring, in which function and design form a harmonious whole. A truly understated vehicle which universally gives rise to the proverbial "Ooh" effect, achieved with the AC Schnitzer engine modifications, and closes the gap created in the model range by the lack of a BMW M3 Touring.

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.

The Suspension Technology

The driving dynamics are decisively improved by the AC Schnitzer sports and racing suspension and suspension components - such as strut braces and antiroll bars. Spring kits are also available for pure lowering.

The Bodywork

The AC Schnitzer aerodynamic range with components made of high quality PU-Rim picks up the styling cues of the 3-series Touring, subtly emphasizes these and also ensures better down force.

The Interior

The AC Schnitzer special accessory range is completed with airbag steering wheels and high quality interior components made of carbon fiber, leather and aluminum.

The Wheels

The suspension concept is completed by the AC Schnitzer alloy and racing rims Type II, Type III and Type IV available in sizes from 15" - 19".
