AC SCHNITZER Program for the E46 3 Series Coupe

The ACS3 Coupe

The BMW E46 series is impressive thanks to its sophisticated design and extraordinary levels of comfort which to this extent are normally found only in cars in the top luxury class. By applying their extensive technical knowledge, our engineers have developed a special accessories range for the 3-series Coupé which not only fulfils the high standards but also offers more sporting performance and individuality.

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 "Short Shift" gear conversion allows more precise and faster gear changes, to emphasize sporting changes.

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 Coupé, 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 and last but not least a rollover bar.

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".
