The New 7-series in Sports Trim by AC Schnitzer
The Noble Athlete
F01 / F02 are the internal works codes for the new 7-series. The combination sounds like motorsports, but is this title adequate for a big luxury saloon? Anyone who's seen the big BMW in AC Schnitzer trim will certainly answer this with an unambiguous "Yes".
"The new model is certainly the most dynamic 7-series ever, so we've only made subtle changes to the outline", explains AC Schnitzer Chief Designer Michele Viandante. His philosophy: "Our accessories set important accents and emphasise the sporting characteristics of the saloon in a targeted manner." These are already written large in the imposing front, which is emphasised by a new AC Schnitzer spoiler element. Michele Viandante's tip: The through lip elongates the front and gives the car a faster look.
Like all accessories from AC Schnitzer, it is made of very hardwearing, well-fitting PU RIM. Subtle but striking also describes the effects of the side enhancements: "The result must be a harmonious ensemble, and not a combination of trainers and tuxedo", says Viandante. The AC Schnitzer side skirts attachments emphasise the car's wheelbase and lengthen it visually, giving it a more purposeful appearance. Towards the rear third, they are lifted and widened to give the car a more muscular look.
This is no bluff, because the new 7-series has plenty of power under the bonnet in every version, even when the music's playing at the back. The sight of AC Schnitzer tailpipes is as striking as the sound: two exhaust channels come together in a slightly rounded, chromed trapezoid trim - all very individual. But that's not enough for sporting attributes. Between the exhausts, Michele Viandante has introduced a further spoiler element which with its diffuser style symbolises pure dynamics. Only the subtle boot spoiler and rear roof spoiler remain to complete the look.
AC Schnitzer knows how to enhance a saloon's sporting aura without losing its elegance. Then the final touch is down to customer taste:
There's a choice of countless exciting AC Schnitzer wheels for the new 7-series. Two particularly striking examples: the Type V alloy with its clear, transparent five-spoke design, which celebrates its world premiere in 22" on the 7-series and is also available for X5 and X6. Or the multispoke Type VII, also available in 22". Both versions not only show true greatness, but constitute the perfectly balanced combination of performance and elegance. A characteristic which is symbolic of the entire car.

hmm the first rimms does not suit this car

Wwwwwwwaaaayyy overdone.

Nothing is line with the car,i hate AC

C´mon,car is sick..
White one is maybe little too much but black one is really nice

Well to each his own i guess,i much prefer the stock one with nice rims and that's just about it

This front spoiler looks nice... Suits the car well...

Btw, both rims suck and white car looks disaster with that kit and rims...

Schnitzer sucks...

BMW should do something about the cruise control detector, its integration is crap as are those appearing horizental & diagonals bars bhind some grills.

Front and rear bumpers look nice to me. That damn grille is still too tall for my liking, really spoils the car IMO.

Awful....

But one good thing, I am beginning to appreciate the big kidneys
