On the occasion of the Essen Motor Show that takes in place in Germany from November 30 to December 8, AC Schnitzer has enhanced its tuning program for the new BMW 4-Series Coupe, with the most important additions being performance upgrades for the 420i, 430d and 435d models.
For the 420i, the Aachen-based tuning company’s kit lifts the 2.0-liter turbocharged engine’s output from 181hp (184PS) to 242hp (245PS) or to the same level as the stock 428i, while for the 430d, its 3.0-liter turbocharged diesel now delivers 305hp (309PS). Finally, AC Schnitzer gives the straight-six diesel 435d a push to 355hp (360PS), up from 309hp (313PS).
As a reminder, the firm’s existing upgrades boost the 428i’s turbo’d inline-four from 241hp (245PS) to 290hp (294PS), the 435i’s 3.0-liter turbocharged inline six from 302hp (306PS) to 355hp (360PS) and the 420d’s diesel-four from 181hp (184PS) to 215hp (218PS).
Other available performance parts for the 4-Series Coupe include a 25mm-lowered suspension or a fully adjustable racing suspension and a wide choice of forged alloy wheels.
On the cosmetic front, there’s a body kit with a rear roof spoiler, and front and rear aprons for both regular and M Sport models, plus a chrome grille piece, while for the interior, there’s a gear knob with an illuminated digital gear display, floor mats and trim accents.
