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.

Our brake system (for MINI Cooper S) uses 4-pot fixed calipers on the front axle. Fast and precise response is guaranteed by the slotted, internally vented discs. At the same time, the high performance brake system from AC Schnitzer delivers excellent deceleration even under sustained use, in both extreme heat and driving rain.The generously dimensioned brake discs in 328 x 28 millimetres bleeds off the speed energetically even after 20 downhill bends, while the pressure point remains stable.
