The years of waiting has finally reached an end. The new BMW 6-series Coupe
is here. The question of whether the "newcomer" can successfully follow the
legendary coupes of the 70s and 80s simply doesn't arise, as the 6-series, with
internal designation E63, already has the potential of a legend: sports
performance, elegance and dynamics.
AC Schnitzer is currently
developing a special accessories range which will enhance the 6-series in all
its qualities. Because in the end, there's nothing so good that it can't be
improved.
In the first stage of development work, AC Schnitzer adapted the alloy and
racing wheels for the new 6-series. The Type III wheels and the new Type IV
design are already available today.
As the maximum size AC Schnitzer actually develops a wheel tyre combination with
the new Type IV racing wheel in 21". As well as various combinations in 19" the
6-series can also carry the combination of 9.0J x 20" on the front with tyres
245/35 R 20 and on the rear axle 10.0J x 20" with tyres 285/30 R 20. Just this
measure perceptibly improves the driving dynamics of the 6-series Coupe.
In addition, the avant-garde style AC Schnitzer Type IV 5-spokes, with their
star pattern from the pentagonal wheel centre and dishing for each spoke, are
also excellently suited to the modern, timeless design of the new Coupe.
The sporting performance is further enhanced by the AC Schnitzer sports
suspension which is currently undergoing tests on public roads and on the North
Loop of the Nurburgring.
As well as simply lowering by about 1 inch, AC Schnitzer made the 6-series
Coupe stiffer for more sporting performance while retaining maximum comfort.
AC Schnitzer's engineers and designers, working in close collaboration, have
also developed a unique AC Schnitzer aerodynamic conversion consisting of front
spoiler in a new sporting design, side skirt inserts, rear spoiler and a rear
skirt. The aerodynamic range is completed by a Chromeline Set, to provide some
chrome highlights if desired.
A further brilliant highlight which is perfectly integrated into the rear skirt
is the double sports rear silencer with its 2 chromed tailpipes in Trap-Ment
form (combination of trapezium and segment). This exhaust system is of course
not only an aesthetically pleasing but also optimizes gas flow, thus ensuring
better response, and gives the V8 a particularly sonorous "voice".
Exclusivity will shortly be the key word for the cockpit: as well as a carbon
fibre interior trim in the new "Exclusive Design" in silver and an ergonomically
designed airbag sports steering wheel, above all the aluminium accessories, e.g.
for the controller of the BMW-specific "i-Drive System", provide the finishing
touches.
