AC Schnitzer gave the world a sneak preview of their BMW 1 Series F20, which will be launched at the 2011 Essen Motor Show. This vehicle shows a very sporty front end. It includes a redesigned front spoiler, a rear roof spoiler, a racing tailpipe trim, alloy wheels in 18 or 19 inches, and an optional spring kit.

The AC Schnitzer performance upgrades take the standard 118d from 143 to 171 horsepower, and the 120d from 184 to 210 horsepower. This is reflected visually in the AC Schnitzer engine styling and the chromed “Racing” exhaust tailpipe.

Dynamics and lifestyle are also presented in the interior of the BMW 1 Series by AC Schnitzer. The aluminium “Black Line” gear knob, a gear knob with digital gear display, or an illuminated leather gear knob are available for the discerning BMW customer.

And that’s not all: the AC Schnitzer “Black Line” aluminium cover for the i-Drive system controller, aluminium handbrake handle with chrome details or fully in “Black Line”, aluminium foot rest and pedal set, and velours floor mats offer plenty of scope for customizing the interior.

Customers can choose from a wide customization of wheelarches in the 1 Series by AC Schnitzer:  Type VIII forged alloys in BiColor, Type VIII rims in BiColor in 19 inch, or Type IV wheels in silver or BiColor in 18 and 19 inch.
