AC Schnitzer’s rapid attack on the new BMW 3-Series continues with the release of a plethora of visual and performance upgrades for the Touring (estate or station wagon in regular terms) similar to the ones it offers for the F30 sedan.
Exterior dress-up items include a front spoiler, a chrome front double-kidney grille, a rear roof spoiler, a rear skirt and design stripes by AC Schnitzer.
The aftermarket company also offers several interior upgrades and accessories for the 3-Series Touring, notably aluminum pedals and trims, a gear knob with digital display and custom floor mats.
Increased performance comes via the German tuner’s engine kits that push the 318d’s diesel unit to 169Hp (126kW / 171PS), up from 141Hp (105kW / 143PS), and the 320d’s oil burner from 181Hp (135kW / 184PS) to 215Hp (160kW / 218PS).
Before the end of the year, AC Schnitzer will release its tuning take for the petrol-powered 328i that gets 290Hp (216kW / 294PS) and the 335i that achieves 355Hp (265kW / 360PS).
The mechanical upgrades continue with a spring kit combined with a lower suspension setting of 25mm and AC Schnitzer’s usual mix of alloy wheels designs up to 20-inches in diameter.
