Leave the tuning of BMWs to AC Schnitzer. The German tuner focuses on the facelifted BMW 5-series and gives the 540i and the mighty M550i an engine upgrade.
Did you have the facelifted BMW 5-series Sedan or Touring at your doorstep last year, but do you believe that the car could have a little more external impact? Then pay a visit to AC Schnitzer. The German tuner has, among other things, special light alloy on offer, wheels in sizes 19 to 21 inches. The 20 and 21-inch copies are extra lightweight copies, but only that does not make the Fünfer much faster.
No, you can also turn to AC Schnitzer for extra motor skills. The company will soon have power modules ready for the certainly not childish 286 hp strong 530d and 540d. The more powerful versions are still being worked on, but AC Schnitzer has already put a power injection for the 333 hp and 450 Nm strong 540i and for the mighty M550i (530 hp) in its catalog. The 540i is after a power cure good for 400 hp and 540 Nm. Subtopper M550i even kicks it up to 620 hp and 750 Nm. Yes, more horsepower for the M550i than the standard M5 which is 600 hp and 750 Nm strong. AC Schnitzer’s M550i even grinds dangerously close to the 625 hp M5 Competition.
The tuner naturally provides a series of external extras, including a diffuser, splitters, side skirts, a roof and rear spoiler and so on. Various parts are also available in carbon fiber. AC Schnitzer has sports exhausts with chrome, black or carbon fiber tailpipes. A lowering set, which puts the 5 series up to 3.5 centimeters closer to the asphalt, is also available.
