BMW M135i Gets 360HP From AC Schnitzer

For the Essen motor Show, AC Schnitzer, the well known aftermarket specialist will reveal the upgraded BMW M135i.

The standard engine produces 320 HP (235 kW) and 332 lb-ft (450 Nm) of torque from its 3.0-liter engine, but just after the tuners layed their hands, it increased the overall output to 360 HP (265 kW) without increasing CO2 emissions.

The tuning included a custom suspension spring kit and various types of wheels in sizes up to 20 inches. At the rear end, a chromed “Racing” exhaust tailpipe is also available and a two-piece front spoiler. Right on the outside, the sources state that it may get a loading lip protection film, color-matched design stripes and a rear roof spoiler.

And on the inside, it features an aluminum Black Line gear knob, or one can choose the illuminated leather-wrapped gear knob. AC Schnitzer will also be offering the Black Line aluminum cover for the i-Drive, another gear knob with a digital gear display, aluminum handbrake handle with chrome accents, custom velour floor mats and an aluminum foot rest and much more.
