BMW M850i with AC Schnitzer Parts Coming to Goodwood
BMW M850i with AC Schnitzer Parts Coming to Goodwood-November 2024
2023-12-14 EST 02:30:36

BMW tuner AC Schnitzer has modified the 8 Series coupe and will be showing it off at the 2019 Goodwood Festival of Speed.

The modified M850i xDrive you see here showcases 2 examples of AC Schnitzer's work. First up is the new homologated carbon fibre rear spoiler for additional downforce and grip, the second is the stainless steel sports exhaust, which you can hear at the bottom of this article.

However, AC Schnitzer isn't just about looks and noise and the tuner claims there's a performance upgrade thrown into the mix too. AC Schnitzer offers additional performance for both the 840d and the M850i. The diesel-powered model sees power jump from 235 kW to 280 kW, while its petrol-powered sibling sees massive gains with 390 kWstock becoming 456 kW, which interestingly is very close to the flagship BMW M8.

AC Schnitzer also offers a lowering kit for the 8-Series, some 20-inch custom wheels plus crazy levels of carbon fibre-based aero elements.
