Aachen-based German tuner AC Schnitzer unveils their program for the BMW 1 Series M Coupe. Focusing primarily on visual enhancements, AC Schnitzer previews some of their parts on a Valencia Orange and Sapphire Black 1Ms.
First goal was weight reduction and the 1M now features a lighter brake system and ventilated brake discs. The high performance brake system which ensures stable deceleration even under extended use and extreme heat, and – although generously dimensioned – saves a clear 4 kg weight.
The AC Schnitzer High Performance Brake System for the front and rear axle, consist of:
- 6-piston fixed caliper, front
- 4-piston fixed caliper, rear
- slotted, internally vented brake discs (front 380 x 35 mm, rear 355 x 32 mm)
- brake pads
- caliper mounting brackets
- brake pipes
Even though not visible from the outside, a new sportier-tuned suspension is included in the package. A series of aerodynamic upgrades are scheduled to appear in the next weeks.
For the interior of the 1 Series M Coupe a large program consisting of exclusive accessories made from high quality materials is already available.
