Performance Upgrades
Engine tuning and performance upgrades have a long tradition at AC Schnitzer. To be on the safe side however, we prefer not to extract the maximum possible power but instead ensure greater robustness, which means a longer life of the engine. Many of our diesel performance upgrades are therefore designed for an increase in torque rather than an increase in horsepower. Because torque is what you feel when for example you're "pressed back in the seat" on pulling away.
Warranty
For engines and performance upgrades, we offer a warranty of two years from the date of first registration, up to a kilometre reading of 100,000 km (for M-vehicles, two years up to a kilometre reading of 60,000 km) on all components excluded from the BMW warranty.
- AC Schnitzer engine optic 3.0d
Thanks to the AC Schnitzer performance upgrade on the 530d, the driver behind the wheel can enjoy 286 HP instead of the standard 245 HP. Optimizations for the BMW 520d, 525d and 535d are also in development.
Whatever the model, all 5-series can be improved with the AC Schnitzer engine styling with capacity logo.

Exhaust
Acoustically, the AC Schnitzer versions of the BMW 550i, 535i, 535d and 530d are soon enhanced with the twin sports rear silencer with its chromed "Sports Trim“ tailpipe trims in left/right combination. This not only provides the sonorous, sporting sound but also brings an improved response behaviour from the engine.
For the purely aesthetic enhancement of the exhaust system on the 525d and 530d models, a chromed "Racing“ tailpipe trim is also available.

Brakes
There's no escaping it - even the most dynamic drive must be slowed down at some point. In this case, the AC Schnitzer 8-piston high performance brake system mercilessly grips the front axle. The 8-pot fixed calliper (left/right) and the perforated, internally vented brake discs provide greatly improved deceleration and even safer stopping for the vehicle.
