Filed under:Ac Schnitzer, BMW, Tuning, SUV,
The well known German tuning company AC Schnitzer has revealed its latest project, which will make its world debut at the 2010 Geneva Motor Show next month. Their latest project is a complete tuning package for the BMW X1 crossover SUV.

The interior upgrades will include velour foot mats, foot rests, aluminum handbrake handle and pedal set, a unique aluminum cover for the i-Drive system controller, aluminum gear knobs with or without the digital gear display, illuminated leather gear knob and a special carbon fiber trim. The exterior styling upgrades includes a package consisting of a roof spoiler, bonnet vents, rear apron and a front spoiler. Also, a large choice of 18, 19 and 20 inch alloy wheels in various designs will be available.

The technical modifications include a sport suspension as well as an upgrade for practically the entire range of engines. Thus, the BMW X1 xDrive28i with a straight six cylinders gasoline engine with an output of 258 horsepower will get a new sport exhaust system. This unit is the only one that does not receive an output boost. Thus, the BMW X1 xDrive18d with a 2.0 liter turbo diesel engine has an increased output from 143 horsepower to 171 horsepower. The BMW X1 xDrive20d with a 2.0 liter turbo diesel engine goes from 177 horsepower to 210 horsepower. Finally, the BMW X1 xDrive23d twin turbocharged diesel engine gets an increase from 204 horsepower up to 240 horsepower.
