  • AC Schnitzer BMW X6

    An eyecatcher at first glance – this calls for a closer look AC Schnitzer presents the new styling and performance package for the BMW X6. The new BMW X6 exerts a particular form of magnetism: not only does its chassis sit perfectly on the road, it also magically attracts attention. Now it appears there is only one place where the fascination, dynamism and presence of the first Sports Activity Coupé (SAC) can be enhanced: in the workshops of AC Schnitzer in Aachen. The result is a visual and technical masterpiece which further magnifies the core qualities of the X6.

    Engines – Exhaust

    Typical AC Schnitzer: The vehicle’s appearance is not misleading, but simply a reflection of its inner values. The renowned BMW tuner has developed a real firecracker under the bonnet of the diesel versions 3.0dX and 3.5dX with a new Motor Control Unit. Precise performance data will be released shortly.
    Another eyecatcher is the chromed tailpipes of the dual-flow exhaust system in AC Schnitzer Racing Design.

    The Suspension Technology

    Of course, sheer engine power is not the only ingredient in sporting performance. So Manfred Wollgarten, Technical Director of AC Schnitzer, has developed a unique suspension spring kit for the X6 on the North Loop of the Nürburgring.

    The Bodywork

    In the X6 by AC Schnitzer, the front skirt with its diagonal air intakes and repositioned fog lights are exposed.
    The drive-under protection has been removed in favour of a more dynamic contour of the spoiler edge.
    The rear carries a massive skirt with framed edges.
    In contrast to the original, all components are painted body-colour throughout, so the body appears downstretched and hence more dominant.
    Instead of the drive-under protection originally fitted here, AC Schnitzer Designer Michele Viandante has opted for a rear diffuser.

    The Interior

    Perfect handling with corresponding Look and Feel is ensured by the “EVO” 3-spoke Sport Airbag steering wheel.
    With AC Schnitzer, you hold the road firmly in almost any position. The X6 by AC Schnitzer takes control on public roads as willingly as on changing terrain with varying up and down gradients!

    The Wheels

    22 inches racing alloy wheels Type VII  are just as fascinating.
    We recommend Continental and Michelin.
    Discover the AC Schnitzer wheel range for your dream car, too. Actually here you can find our complete wheel variety for many current BMW models. Enjoy assembling your AC Schnitzer dream wheel.
