3 Series AC Schnitzer Turns the BMW 328i Saloon to the ASC3 Turbo with 291-Horses

[Bartek S.]

The tune is based on the 328i, which in stock form is fitted with a 2.0-liter turbocharged four churning out 240hp and 350 Nm (258.1 lb-ft), allowing for a zero to 100km/h (62mph) sprint time of 5.9 seconds and a limited top speed of 250km/h (155mph).
An ECU upgrade and a sports exhaust system ring up those numbers to 291hp (295PS) and 410Nm (302 lb-ft) and as a result, reduce the 0-100km/h acceleration time to 5.7 seconds. Maximum speed continues to be electronically governed at 250km/h.
AC Schnitzer then adds a sports suspension kit while offering buyers a selection of alloy wheel designs in sizes from 18- to 20-inches.
Other available options include an AC Schnitzer front spoiler, chromed front grille, rear roof spoiler, rear spoiler and rear skirt extension, complemented by designer stripes, while the interior of the car can be upgraded with an aluminum trim kit for the dashboard, pedals, foot rest and the "i-Drive" controller.
The entire contents of the package will be available for order this summer.

The only interesting thing is the power upgrade. All the rest is fugly, as usual with AC Schnitzer lately. Shame it has no LSD.

On the contrary, IMO, it does look great & may be because it doesn't look like a job done by AC. However, rims could've been better.

typically when I feel like I need to vomit I look up Schnitzer modded BMWs, the main reason why this isn't nauseating is because they left most of it intact.
You would think that 291 hp would translate into better acceleration.

Also not a fan of the wheels but the rest looks pretty good, the color is stunning!

They actually put "2.8" on the engine...
