AC SCHNITZER presents yet another of his impeccable works, this time the BMW M4 Coupe

AC Schnitzer is one of the leading specialists in BMW model preparations today, and as such, it didn't take long to offer its own hyper-vitaminized version of the new BMW M4 Coupe. Now comes the turn of its 4-door brother, a BMW M3 that arrives with a strong desire to rock the track, as shown in the photos at Spa Francorchamps with its new outfit.

The novelties in this more practical but equally sporty model come in the form of a series of aerodynamic parts that include a new front splitter, new flaps and air vents on the hood, and above all a much more imposing rear with a spoiler at the end of the roof. , a more generous airfoil right above the trunk and a carbon fiber diffuser, all displayed in a dark color that distinguishes these parts from the rest of the body.

But if the external part has already taken a leap in aggressiveness, the part you can't see, the mechanics, isn't behind either, as AC Schnitzer has installed a new spring kit, which will be added in a few months to a new suspension for the preparer for this new M3 and a new stainless steel exhaust system with 110 mm diameter carbon exhausts.

This, together with other small adjustments in its mechanics, mean that the famous 3.0-litre twin-turbo inline 6-cylinder engine now offers 590 hp of power - compared to the 510 it offers as standard - and 750 Nm of maximum torque - 650 in the model pattern. The German specialist did not provide data on the new performance, but it is expected that with these improvements it could lower by at least two tenths the acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h of the original model, which is 3.9 seconds.

In addition to all this and as is customary at home, AC Schnitzer has also added minor touches to the interior, such as new, much sportier gearshift fins, as well as its pedals, while the iDrive controller and keyring are now made of aluminum. The steering wheel also gets a more exclusive touch by combining Alcantara, Nappa leather and carbon fiber frames.
