The facelifted Bmw 3-Series Sedan and Station Wagon were up-rated by AC Schnitzer with a number of artistic and performance components, plus an impressive new front spoiler. The company based in Aachen asserts that the fresh artistic look puts an accent on dynamics and that “instead of bulky curves, straight and slender forms are used.” In addition, in reverence to Bmw’s race cars, the front spoiler elements finish at the base in a sharp “bow”.

Considering performance and handling improvements, AC Schnitzer employs its own suspension kits to make the car quicker around cubs than the production version. This comprises a fresh suspension spring kit, as well as the choice of either sports suspension or racing suspension tunes. For those with cash to spare, AC Schnitzer suggests availing of the extra sports antiroll bar and strut brace kit for the front and rear to further enhance handling.

It seems that November is going to be a very hot month due to the vehicles that will be unveiled at the SEMA Show. Day by day the list is getting bigger and bigger and the latest manufacturer who joined the list, AC Schnitzer, unveiled today the X6 Falcon based on the Bmw X6, a vehicle that will be a premiere at SEMA.

At the first sight, the vehicle shows a wider body (70 mm wider at the front axle and 80 mm wider at the rear) which is underlined with the help of the aerodynamics package. This package includes a new bumper with integrated diagonal air inlets and fog lamps, new side sills, a rear roof spoiler and a new rear bumper with integrated air diffuser and 4-pipe exhaust system. Under the hood the tuner boosted the 30d (235 hp) and 35d (286 hp) to 272 hp and 310 hp making the car faster and more reliable. At the interior we find a new “EVO” 3-spoke sports airbag steering wheel, velour foot mats, together with the characteristic AC Schnitzer aluminium pedals and foot rests as well as a new aluminium cover especially developed for the i-Drive system. The kit is completed by the 22-inch Type VII alloy wheels! More photos after the jump!
