AC Schnitzer ACS3 X3

The second "SUV" in the BMW family has arrived, and development work is in full swing on a special accessories range to cover all areas of the vehicle.
In recent years, our engineers have been able to build up a wealth of experience with SUV's. First came the big brother of the BMW X3, the X5, and then the engineers naturally turned their attention to AC Schnitzer's own concept based on the BMW 330ix, the AC Schnitzer X-ROAD.

For the 3.0d version of the BMW X3, an AC Schnitzer Diesel Performance Upgrade is already in development. This will increase the engine output to 180 kW / 245 HP and raise the maximum torque by 50 Nm to 460 Nm.. Despite the more powerful engine, the high driving comfort, moderate fuel consumption and excellent stability remain unchanged.

With or without the performance upgrade, we also recommend as further developments the AC Schnitzer sport rear silencer of V2A special steel with chromed racing tailpipe trim, as this ensures improved gas flow.

Some years ago the suspension development of the AC Schnitzer X-ROAD came under the motto: "All Day - All Way". The same is naturally true of the new X3. With its sports suspension, the BMW X3 has an unlimited territory. Changing terrain - gravel slopes or asphalt roads - are no problem for the sports performance of the X3 with AC Schnitzer suspension. The lowering by 20 - 30 mm in conjunction with the specially set up dampers perceptibly improves both the driving dynamics and the stability.
