Based on New BMW 3 Series Coupe (E92)

The BMW 3-series coupé was only launched recently and already AC Schnitzer offers a Sports programme for the latest member of the 3-series family. The range comprises aerodynamic components in sports elegant design, performance upgrades and silencers, alloy wheels in various designs and sizes, specially developed suspension solutions and numerous interesting accessories for the interior.

As for all current BMW models with 3.0d engine (M47 D30 O2), we will shortly be offering a diesel performance upgrade for the 3-series coupé. An additional control module provides 195 kW / 265 HP and a maximum torque of 550 Nm (standard 170 kW / 231 HP, 500 Nm), so acceleration from 0 - 100 km/h takes just 6.1 instead of 6.6 seconds . The top speed limit of 250 km/h however is retained in the ACS3 3.0d performance upgrade.

In order to provide AC Schnitzer performance upgrades for the 335d and 335i with the new Twin Turbo technology, totally new developments are required. These are currently still in the first stages of the extensive test phase. Despite the perceptible increase in power, the excellent driving behaviour, moderate fuel consumption and superb stability remain unchanged with both performance upgrades. Even without engine tuning, we recommend fitting the AC Schnitzer sports rear silencer which - depending on base model - is available as a single system or in right-left combination . In each case all AC Schnitzer sports rear silencers are made of special steel and are supplemented with chromed Racing tailpipe trims . For a purely aesthetic conversion, tailpipe trims are also available "solo" for some models.

The AC Schnitzer bodystyling components for the 3-series coupé stand out not only because of their sporting new design line, but also because of the perfect fit and ease of painting that are the result of the use of high quality PU-Rim . The new 3-series coupé has a strikingly contoured front spoiler that not only enhances the appearance with its sporting elegant design - at the same time it increases downforce on the front axle. For the rear axle, the aerodynamic highlights of a rear roof spoiler, a one-piece rear wing and a rear skirt with stylised diffuser profile are now in development. Naturally the latter optimally integrates the various exhaust styles.

Another development for the coupé is the side skirts which give the side lines a more striking and elongated appearance. Optionally the side skirts can be highlighted with a Chromeline Set. The wheelarches of the 3-series coupé provide space for the AC Schnitzer Type II, Type III and Type IV alloy and racing rims from 18 to 20" diameter.

As maximum size, the coupé can be fitted with AC Schnitzer racing rims Type IV in 9.0J x 20" ET 35 or ET 26 on the rear with tyres 245/30 R 20 all round . For tyres, we recommend high performance tyres from Continental and Michelin .

The suspension components have been specially set up for the use of the wheel and tyre combinations. Depending on personal preference, the owner of a 3-series coupé of model range E92 can choose between pure suspension springs and a complete, performance-comfort set sports suspension which lowers the BMW by around 25 mm.

The suspension concept developed in extensive tests on the North Loop of the Nürburgring also includes the AC Schnitzer sports antiroll bars for the rear axle and aluminium strut braces for front and rear.

For the interior of the coupé, an extensive range of high-quality accessories is available. For example, the cockpit can be enhanced with an ergonomically designed 3-spoke sports airbag steering wheel for vehicles with or without multifunction . There is also a carbon steering wheel trim in silver Exclusive.

Another highlight in the interior is the AC Schnitzer combi instrument with speedometer display up to 300 km/h. Footrests and pedals of aluminium create a more exclusive atmosphere in the cockpit together with the AC Schnitzer carbon interior trim in silver Exclusive . The aluminium gear knob, handbrake handle and cover for the BMW "i-Drive System" are available in silver or black anodized finish . Velours foot mats complete the range.

i like the car... but i dont think the rims go well with it... other then that very smhexxxxyyy:)

looks agressive, yes, the rims are just too flat, not like the ones before...this rim dosent suit the car, well i would get the car down abit more, remove that spoiler, remove the stickers:D, get a M3 spoiler, that little duck lip spoiler and it will be quite good...specs are quite good

Rims are dodgy, they don't suit the shape of the car. Rest of the car looks nice though. I really like the performance too.

Maybe I should accept this little car.. and yeah.. rims are dodgy .
They don't fit that car pretty much.. but at least this is better than those rims on the F430 Spider. Some sort of BBS rims if I'm not mistaken..

the car looks too classy to have black rims.this current 3-series is damn big compared to the prev one.

i've seen a few here in london and i dont think they look "That" big.. overall this looks more aggressive but have to agree with u ll, the rims dont suit the car.

i knoe..but they look big....bigger than the prev ones.longer.

Bah, it looks ugly, but I suppose it's all functiola. I wouldn't get one though, it's just too tacky. I would take a stock 335 over it, or even better - wait for the M3.
The rims looks kinda cool, but they don't suit the car. It looks horrible combined with those sharp lines.

I beleive bulbous is the word I would use for the car. The rims are terrible and I would wait for the M3 in a heartbeat or heck even buy a used M3, some of the best stock wheels on a car by the way. AC is out of the box, this time they should have stayed in.

maybe ac is following the foot steps of hamann "destruction" house.

Yeah, AC Schweizernöt has been ruining cars for a while too. Their 6 series is one of the most hideous cars in the world.
The only thing I like about this car is the side mirrors. Those are sleek, sexy and aerodynamic... or as aerodynamic as big passenger car side mirrors get.

Wow. What a bloody ugly car. Silver doesn't look nice. Bumper doesn't look that good, nor does the back bumper. Only thing I can think of that is nice is the exhausts. They're bearable.

And don't get me started on those rims. Tinny little spokes, ugly as hell, if you flick it the car will collapse.

It's always something that most of it looks to be functional. But at least they could drop that ugly front end. It may encourage the flow to get the hell away from ugly aoa's, but I'm sure it would be better off with some more common looking air dam.

Honestly, I'd rather have the stock one....

u knoe what..i still love the old 3 series.this new one is errr....no plz.the ac s3...hell NO!!

lets wait hamann to do that...:D

lol...

looks like they have toned down.they have done a better job.simple and subtle.

well, lets hope they do it the same with the coupe...simple and subtle...hope they dont mess it up...:D

To be honest AC Schnitzer didn't have a great looking car to begin with. The new 3 series coupe is the one bangle BMW that I don't like, it manages to look ugly, incredibly boring and forgettable at the same time.

And to be honest take the blacks rims off and the car doesn't look as bad. "Not looking that bad" of course being relative to standard 3 series coupe.
