Back in February, AC Schnitzer presented
its first custom parts for the new F40 BMW 1-Series hatchback, such as an aero
kit, 25-35 mm spring kit and a few other bits and pieces. Now, the German tuner
has more to offer the Bavarian 5-door, such as a sports exhaust (carbon, chrome
or black tips) for the M135i, front splitter (with/without the M Sport pack),
rear roof spoiler (with/without M Sport pack), rear skirt protection foil and
custom emblems.
The wheels meanwhile are called AC1,
measure 19-inches in diameter and can be had either in BiColor or Anthracite
hues. Inside, 1-Series owners can spec their ride with AC Schnitzer’s aluminum
gear shift paddles, pedals, footrest and key holder for a more dynamic
ambiance.
From the outside looking in, we reckon
that since the latest 1-Series already comes with an aggressive design and a
dynamic stance, adding a mix of sporty-looking parts can’t be the worst thing
you can do to it, especially if you’re a fan of “hot hatchbacks” in general.
Then again, we’re still reeling from
having seen that modded 1-Series Shooting Brake earlier this month, which
looked about as mean as a tiny Bimmer can get.
