(from AC Schnitzer
Press Release) New Standards in Driving Pleasure
Quality and Emotion: The BMW X1 by AC Schnitzer
The X1 is the latest welcome addition to the compact vehicles
segment, and brings the characteristic BMW "Driving Pleasure" to
this class. With an extensive range for the BMW X1, the AC Schnitzer
version now celebrates its world premiere at the Geneva Motor Show
2010.
The BMW X1 is available
with choice of a 6-cylinder petrol engine and three 4-cylinder
diesel power plants. Here again, AC Schnitzer is setting totally new
standards for driving pleasure in the premium compact segment. The
BMW X1 xDrive23d has been upgraded from a 150 kW/204 HP diesel
engine with BMW TwinPower Turbo and Common Rail injection to 240 HP.
The 2.0 d and 1.8 d units in the BMW X1 also feature Common Rail
injection and a turbocharger, and with the AC Schnitzer tuning
package achieve 210 and 171 HP respectively. Naturally, the power
upgrades are available for both the sDrive and xDrive versions. The
AC Schnitzer engine styling including capacity logo is available for
vehicles with and without performance upgrade.
Acoustically, the
sporting driving experience is enhanced by the AC Schnitzer sports
rear silencer for the petrol X1 xDrive 28i (in development). Visual
elegance is provided by the chromed "Racing“ tailpipe trim which is
also available for all other models.
The superb driving
behaviour of the BMW X1 with its focus on agility, precision and
handling is the direct result of the sophisticated suspension
technology used on the extremely solid body structure. AC Schnitzer
has built on this and with its suspension spring kit and an
aluminium strut brace, ensures the perfect balance between sporting
performance and driving comfort.
The AC Schnitzer
aerodynamics package is far more than mere decoration, although it
harmonises effectively in the overall concept. The front spoiler and
rear skirt extension, in combination with the rear roof spoiler,
improve downforce and ensure additional ground adhesion. Engine bay
venting is optimised by the AC Schnitzer Bonnet Vents. These are
enhanced further with chromed centre webs available as an option. In
aesthetic terms, the AC Schnitzer aerodynamic conversion emphasises
the expressive styling and reveals to the observer on first glance
the universal sporting ambitions of the X1 by AC Schnitzer.
Impressive design
elements also lend a sporting and youthful note to the interior of
the BMW X1 by AC Schnitzer. These elements include silver "Exclusiv“
carbon interior trim, illuminated leather gear knob, aluminium gear
knobs with or without digital gear display, "Black Line“ aluminium
cover for the i-Drive system controller, aluminium handbrake handle
and pedal set, foot rests and velours foot mats.
The finishing touch comes from a set of attractive wheels, so the X1
retains its stylish appearance not only on twisty or changing
terrain, but also outside a fashionable cafe. An ideal choice is the
brand-new Type VIII wheel in 19“. The new wheel with its 5 double
spokes in BiColor Finish is an evolution of the well-known Type VI
wheel, and complements perfectly the styling language of the BMW X1.
AC Schnitzer Type IV wheels in silver or in BiColor in 18, 19 or 20
inch, together with the Type VI rim in 18“, complete the range
available for the BMW X1.
