\"AC<\/p>\n

German BMW tuner AC Schnitzer brought three packages to the annual tuning and car show in Essen. The 2011 Essen Motor Show<\/a> means the introduction of the tuning program for the brand new BMW 1-Series F20 and the BMW 6-Series Coupe. The third vehicle on display is the 1-Series M Coupe by AC Schnitzer<\/a>, which had its official release at the 2011 IAA Motor Show<\/a> in September.<\/p>\n

The program for the BMW 1M is called ACS1 Sport Coup\u00e9<\/a> and focuses primarily on visual enhancements, but the 1-Series Coup\u00e9 also received a new braking system, performance upgrade and racing suspension. The power upgrade goes from a standard 340 at 5,900rpm to 400hp at 6,100rpm. The maximum torque increases from 450Nm to 560Nm at 4,700rpm. Top speed was raised to 300km\/h and the sports car goes from zero to 100km\/h in 4,7 seconds, 0,2 faster than stock.<\/p>\n

The exterior changes to the 1M include new carbon front spoiler, chromed front grille, carbon rear diffusor and bonnet vents. Customers can choose from Type VIII and Type V forged alloy wheels in BiColor, Type VIII and Type IV wheels in BiColor and Type IV in silver with corresponding tyres to transfer the power to the road.<\/p>\r\n
