The 2015 AC Schnitzer BMW X6: A Reinvention of Power and Style
The automotive landscape witnessed an exciting turn of events at the 85th Geneva Motor Show with the debut of the reimagined BMW X6 by AC Schnitzer. True to the brand's form, this model has made a powerful statement, both in performance and design, boldly reflecting AC Schnitzer's unmistakable Aachen-style touch.
Unleashing the Powerhouse
The X6's impressive horsepower updates were indeed the talk of the show. With a boosted performance to 309 hp in the X6 30d, 360 hp in the X6 40d and 35i, and an astounding 525 hp in the X6 50i, it's clear that AC Schnitzer has pushed the boundaries of BMW's performance realm. The visual representation of this power is elegantly displayed in the AC Schnitzer's unique engine styling.
Harmony of Performance and Assurance
Every AC Schnitzer performance upgrade comes bundled with a two-year warranty, which can optionally be extended to three years, presenting a harmonious blend of high performance and assurance. Furthermore, the addition of twin or single silencers, coupled with dual "Racing" tailpipe trims, creates an aurally commanding presence on the road.
Mastering the Art of Suspension and Aerodynamics
The AC Schnitzer suspension spring kit not only provides the X6 with a sporty road stance and optimum power utilization but also achieves a noticeable lowering by around 30 mm at the front and approximately 20 mm at the rear. Combined with the aerodynamic enhancements such as a front skirt, rear diffuser, AC Schnitzer bonnet vents, carbon mirror covers, and rear skirt protective film, this X6 stands out while delivering increased power through optimized airflow.
A Deft Touch to the Interiors
Inside, the X6 by AC Schnitzer takes a stylish detour from its power-centric exterior. The focus shifts to design with tasteful aluminium pedal set and foot rests, a keyholder, and plush velour foot mats enhancing the overall interior experience.
The Perfect Wheelset Finishing
AC Schnitzer didn't hold back when it came to wheelset options for this X6. Whether it's the Type VIII forged racing rims, available in sizes ranging from 21 to 23 inches, or the BiColor Type IV and V rims in 20 and 22 inches respectively, there is a choice for every style preference. Making their debut at the show were the new AC1 wheels in BiColor Anthracite or matte Anthracite by AC Schnitzer. These come in 20 and 22-inch alloy versions and multipiece forged racing variants in sizes up to 23 inches, lending a sporty hybrid look with a masculine edge to this X6.
Final Remarks: A Harmonious Balance of Power and Design
The 2015 AC Schnitzer BMW X6 represents a potent combination of unrestricted power, sporty aesthetics, and design sophistication. From its performance upgrades to its detailed styling, this model firmly reasserts AC Schnitzer's reputation for delivering both visual appeal and unmatched performance.
