2005 AC Schnitzer ACS3 based on BMW 3 Series E90
With the E90, BMW has introduced the next epoch in the successful 3-series. True to the motto "The driving force", the 3-series sets the standards for driving pleasure in a new dimension. To quote the worldwide motoring press in countless road tests in the run-up to the official launch, a simple formula defines the 3-series:

Comfort + High Quality Engineering + Sports Performance = E90 So the 3-series offers a superb basis for creating an AC Schnitzer ACS3 from an already excellent BMW.

It is precisely this challenge which faces our engineers and designers to develop a range which will leave nothing to be desired.

The first challenge was to develop a performance upgrade for the 2.0d. This consists of a special Control Unit Program and takes the power of the M47D20 TU standard engine to 147 kW / 200 HP and the maximum torque to 410 Nm at 2.000 rpm.

For all engine variants - with or without performance upgrade - we offer sports rear silencers made from stainless steel,which improve the exhaust gas flow, available. The "chromed" finish comes from the Racing tailpipe, which will not only be part of the silencer but is also available already for purely visual enhancement as a chromed tailpipe trim.

To further improve the driving dynamics in the 3-series, our engineers have developed a wealth of sports suspension components. The first step was the implementation of a spring kit which lowers the vehicle by around 25 - 30 mm.

In the next stage, the specifications for the suspension engineers include a complete sports suspension and antiroll bar kit with racing strut brace for the front as well as a removable version for the rear. The complete modification perceptibly improves the driving behaviour of the 3-series for more sports performance with no significant loss of comfort, and also substantially increase safety reserves on sudden load changes.
