AACHEN, Germany — AC Schnitzer has been tinkering with BMW's 1 Series convertible, and the results are quite satisfying.
The ACS1 Cabrio comes in both gasoline and diesel variants. The 135i gets a bump from 302 to 355 horsepower, while the 123d jumps from 201 to 237 hp. To track the improvement in performance, Schnitzer has fitted a new 320-km/h (199 mph) speedo.
Additional hardware modifications include a stainless steel exhaust system with chrome tailpipes, upgraded springs, an optional height-adjustable sport suspension and a variety of alloy wheels in sizes up to 19 inches.
The aero body kit bundles a new front skirt, a grille insert and a rear skirt with diffuser.
Inside, the cockpit is trimmed in carbon fiber with silver accents. The pedals, gearshift knob and iDrive controller knob are all finished in aluminum.
