AC Schnitzer ACS5 5Series E60

Even in standard form, the new 5-series is an attractive car - and AC Schnitzer is now developing a complete range of tuning products for the latest BMW saloon which extends its sporting talents without neglecting the comfort of a business vehicle.

These will include a power upgrade for the BMW 530d: With the AC Schnitzer diesel performance upgrade, the 5-series gets an extra 37 HP (27 kW), which increases the maximum torque of 50 Nm and the maximum speed to 252 km/h. Acceleration from 0 - 100 km/h takes just 6.9 seconds. Despite the increased power of the AC Schnitzer ACS5 3.0d, the excellent driving performance, moderate fuel consumption and superb durability naturally remain unchanged.
The scope of supply of the performance upgrade includes not only the additional control module but also a sports rear silencer of V2A special steel with chromed tailpipe trim in racing design.

Even without the performance upgrade, we recommend fitting the AC Schnitzer sports rear silencer as this greatly improves gas flow. For a purely aesthetic conversion, we are currently developing a tailpipe trim.

The AC Schnitzer suspension solutions which have been thoroughly tested in an extensive programme - including the North Loop of the Nurburgring - have been specially matched to the use of low profile performance tyres.
As well as lowering the car by around 30 millimetres, the AC Schnitzer sports suspension ensures more sporting handling in combination with excellent driving comfort. Logical extensions are the antiroll bars and a racing aluminium strut brace, which stabilises the front end particularly in fast cornering and braking manoeuvres.
