he Aachen-based experts from AC Schnitzer help the 3-series with Diesel engines 318d and 320d to achieve 126 kW/171 HP or 160 kW/218 HP. The performance upgrades for the 328i and 335i will realise 216 kW/294 HP or 265 kW/360 HP but both are still in the final development stage. One thing is for sure: with the AC Schnitzer performance upgrades the 3 series will have an even more impressive presence.

As appearances are also important, these inner values are reflected in the AC Schnitzer engine optics.

The saloon makes itself heard with the AC Schnitzer sports rear silencer with one or two chromed “Racing“ tailpipes. A pure optical enhancement is given by the AC Schnitzer “Racing” tailpipe

In the 3 series by AC Schnitzer, you ride out life’s … CONTINUED

The KW DDC (Dynamic Damper Control) ECU coilovers remove the pain of getting out of the car and adjusting it manually. You can download the software app from iTunes for free and use it to adjust your coilovers via iPhone, iPad, or iPod. It has 3 settings (comfort, sport and sport+) or you can fine tune it yourself.

The Eisenmann Race Exhaust system for the F30 328i (N20 motor) has now been released, one of the first aftermarket exhausts for the F30. It features 2×90mm tips and gives the N20 engine of the 2013 328i a much throatier sound than the stock factory sound which leaves much to be desired.

Check out the installed photos and a first video clip inside.

Ever wonder how the BMW F30 3 Series would look with an M6 style front bumper or the front apron/fascia from the 1M coupe? No further imagination needed as both have now been done! LTBMW in Los Angeles has custom produced each style for the F30 3 series, giving 3 series owners some great aftermarket aero kit options to give their F30 sedans a touch of M styling.

Check out the excellent photos by John Zhang of 1013mm (owner and photographer of this car) inside!
