AC Schnitzer

Hi everyone. Just wondering if anyone has thought of the AC Schnitzer tuning kit. It seems to bring out some decent power while maintaining around the same gas mileage. The power increases to 226hp and 265Nm of torque (as opposed to 175hp and 240Nm on a MCS). It also comes with a two year warranty and can be installed at BMW (at least where I live). I'm thinking about coupling this with a LSD, JCW brakes, and a new set of much better tires. Just wondering if anyone else has preformed this mod and if its really worth it

I've seen the body kit for sale here in the US, but I think a tuning kit would have been a way bigger deal on this site if it was available here.

I thought about doing ACS for my 10 JCW whilst stationed in Europe but was told it would not pass the US emissions. Other than that, heck of deal, especially as it's covered by BMW.

Cheers!!

Never heard of the AC being available in the US.

I'm happy with my $800 alta tune.
