Now the smart, energetic Bavarian is winning even more hearts &#8211; helped by the tuning specialists at AC Schnitzer. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>The Aachen-based experts from AC Schnitzer help the 3-series with Diesel engines 318d and 320d to achieve 126 kW\/171 HP or 160 kW\/218 HP. The performance upgrades for the 328i and 335i will realise 216 kW\/294 HP or 265 kW\/360 HP but both are still in the final development stage. One thing is for sure: with the AC Schnitzer performance upgrades the 3 series will have an even more impressive presence.<\/p>\n<p>As appearances are also important, these inner values are reflected in the AC Schnitzer engine optics.<\/p>\n<p>The saloon makes itself heard with the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/category\/brand\/ac-schnitzer\/\">AC Schnitzer<\/a> sports rear silencer with one or two chromed &#8220;Racing\u201c tailpipes. A pure optical enhancement is given by the AC Schnitzer \u201cRacing\u201d tailpipe<\/p>\n<p>In the 3 series by AC Schnitzer, you ride out life&#8217;s ups and downs on the AC Schnitzer suspension spring kit. In combination with lowering, this ensures that you can never lose ground adhesion even on turbulent, twisty events. This is guaranteed with the AC Schnitzer wheels Type IV BiColor and silver, Type VI and Type VIII in 18 to 20 inch, which form a solid yet sporting and elegant basis for the wheelarches.<\/p>\n<p>A new addition to the AC Schnitzer range is the Type VIII wheel in BiColor silver. This comes in 18, 19 and 20 inch and impresses with its sporting elegance. The colouring &#8211; lacquered silver with bright turned aluminium accents &#8211; makes it appear even larger.<\/p>\n<p>The ACS3 reveals its inner values with the AC Schnitzer &#8220;Black Line\u201c aluminium cover for the BMW &#8220;i-Drive\u201c system controller, several gear knobs, the &#8220;Black Line\u201c aluminium handbrake handle, the aluminium pedal set, a foot rest and floor mats in velours. But that&#8217;s not all:<\/p>\n<p>The aerodynamic components from AC Schnitzer make the already excellent standard model into a vehicle with even more dynamism and sporting ambitions. The AC Schnitzer front spoiler, chromed front grille, rear roof spoiler, rear spoiler and rear skirt extension, complemented by design stripes are also now available.<\/p>\n<figure
