Attention! There are countless "updates" for this post that contain new information (vehicles, data, videos). The other vehicles start right below the post for this car. AC Schnitzer seems to be his last project in the form of the AC Schnitzer ACZ4 5.0d to have completed and has already dared to the next rocket. This time in the ecological form of the new BMW i8, the extensive tuning program of which the tuner announced in the middle of last year, but has so far not followed up with any action. The tuning team around AC Schnitzer has on this BMW i8 made the changes below:

(Photos: AC Schnitzer)

• Aerodynamics program (front spoiler attachments, side skirts, rear wing made of carbon)
• AC Schnitzer AC1 alloy wheels 21 inches (4,4 kilos lighter than the standard wheels in 20 inches)
• 245 tires in the front and 285 tires in the rear
• Lowering by 25 mm front + 20 mm rear (spring kit)

As already mentioned at the beginning of the article, we have received a few new pictures of a BMW i8, this time Austin Yellow yellow, which we of course have to show you. In the color actually reserved for the M4, the I8 also looks very chic in my opinion. This time only the carbon body kit was used without the AC Schnitzer rims. Have fun with the new pictures!

This time it continues with a BMW i8 in Twilight Purple! Before you ask yourself where exactly you can order this color in the BMW configurator, let me tell you that the purple look is only reserved for Abu Dhabi Motors and cannot currently be ordered for a European vehicle. In addition to the stylish color and beige interior, this i8 has also received a complete AC Schnitzer body kit including rims and subtle lowering.

News from 09.10.2018

BMW Abu Dhabi Motors has a lot of pictures recently 2018 LCI BMW i8 Coupe in the Protonic Red Edition released. And again, everything has been set to make the i8 stand out from the production vehicle. There was a chic front carbon spoiler from the front AC Schnitzer and also the fixed rear wing and the sidewings below the sill come from Schnitzer.

Only with the Heckdiffusor one decided for a component of Vorsteinerthat harmonizes well with the Schnitzer parts due to the carbon fiber look that also exists. The optical highlight in our opinion, but definitely the 21 inch big Schnitzer wheelset in 5 double-spoke design. He sits thanks to subtle lowering (further details unknown) fit and sporty in the wheel arch. Have fun with the new pictures!
