2006 AC Schnitzer ACS6 Sport Pictures, Specifications, Information

Where "rebirth" of the BMW 6-series awakened deep emotions, the new BMW M6 is the embodiment of the ultimate driving machine. The concept of combining two excellent cars in one model has already been successfully implemented by the BMW engineers in the M5.

Now it's a question of adapting this new design line for the BMW M6.

To give the M6 a more powerful voice and at the same time optimize the response behavior and gas throughput, the new fully stainless steel rear silencer system "Sports Trim" has been adapted accordingly for the M6.

The next step facing the engineers was to improve the driving dynamics. The AC Schnitzer's suspension spring kit lowers the M6 by around 1 inch and hence lowers the centre of gravity.

Furthermore the M6 is fitted with racing rims and alloy wheels in various designs and sizes. As one-piece monoblock variants, Type III and Type IV wheels are available in sizes 8.5J x 19" and 9.5J x 19". Even more exclusive are the racing rims Type III and Type IV, which have been tested in 19" through 20" and in the top version even up to size 9.0J or 10.0J x 21".

The absolute highlight in the wheel range is the new "Forged Wheel". This alloy forged wheel with bicolor finish (partly polished, partly painted surface) achieves what appears contradictory in principle:reduces weight and simultaneously maximizes wheel diameters and widths. The "Forged Wheel" is available for the BMW M6 in sizes 9.0J x 20" and 10.0J x 20" and is fitted with tires sizes 245/35 R20 on the front and 285/30 R20 on the rear. The front wheel weights only 22 lb, and the rear wheel 24 lb.

The high quality aerodynamic concept of the ACS5 Sport, apart from the rear roof spoiler, was also adapted for the ACS6 Sport. It consists of the carbon front flippers which as an option can be linked to the front spoiler via an aluminum strut braces. The front is finished with a new chrome front grille which gives the BMW M6 a somewhat retro look and at the same time provides the BMW V10 power plant with more air.

The rear of the AS Schnitzer ACS6 Sport is enhanced with a one-piece rear spoiler and an integrated carbon rear diffuser. In combination, all these aerodynamic aids make the BMW M6 considerably more stable at higher speed.

For the inside, an interior is available in titanium "Exclusive", a 3-spoke sports airbag steering wheel and velour foot mats, together with the characteristic aluminum pedals, foot rests, and the handbrake handle.

The new aluminum cover for the i-Drive's controller, shaped like the Type IV wheel, provides the finishing touch.
