AC SCHNITZER Program for the F01 7 Series

ACS7 Sedan

F01 / F02 are the internal works codes for the new 7-series. The combination sounds like motorsports, but is this title adequate for a big luxury saloon? Anyone who's seen the big BMW in AC Schnitzer trim will certainly answer this with an unambiguous "Yes".

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 new 7-series has plenty of power under the bonnet in every version, even when the music's playing at the back. The sight of AC Schnitzer tailpipes is as striking as the sound: two exhaust channels come together in a slightly rounded, chromed trapezoid trim – all very individual. But that's not enough for sporting attributes.

 Suspension

For improved driving dynamics compared with the standard car while retaining the existing high level of comfort, we have developed suspension spring kits with progressive special springs. The resulting lowering by 25 millimeters improves the cornering abilities of the saloon even further.

The Bodywork

"The new model is certainly the most dynamic 7-series ever, so we've only made subtle changes to the outline“, explains AC Schnitzer Chief Designer Michele Viandante. His philosophy: "Our accessories set important accents and emphasize the sporting characteristics of the saloon in a targeted manner.“These are already written large in the imposing front, which is emphasized by a new AC Schnitzer spoiler element. Michele Viandante's tip: The through lip elongates the front and gives the car a faster look.  Like all accessories from AC Schnitzer, it is made of very hardwearing, well-fitting PU RIM. Subtle but striking also describes the effects of the side enhancements: "The result must be a harmonious ensemble, and not a combination of trainers and tuxedo“, says Viandante.  The AC Schnitzer side skirts emphasize the car's wheelbase and lengthen it visually, giving it a more purposeful appearance. Towards the rear third, they are lifted and widened to give the car a more muscular look.

Between the exhausts, Michele Viandante has introduced a further spoiler element which with its diffuser style symbolizes pure dynamics. Only the subtle boot spoiler and rear roof spoiler remain to complete the look.

AC Schnitzer knows how to enhance a saloon's sporting aura without losing its elegance.

Interior

For the interior there are velour foot mats available, together with the characteristic AC Schnitzer aluminum pedals and foot rests. The new design of an aluminum cover for the controller of the BMW "i-Drive system" neatly sets the finishing touch to the interior design.

The Wheels

There's a choice of countless exciting AC Schnitzer wheels for the new 7-series. Two particularly striking examples: the Type V alloy with its clear, transparent five-spoke design, which celebrates its world premiere in 22" on the 7-series and is also available for X5 and X6.Or the multi-spoke Type VII, also available in 22". Both versions not only show true greatness, but constitute the perfectly balanced combination of performance and elegance. A characteristic which is symbolic of the entire car.
