AC Schnitzer for G20 3 series (long)
As forum sponsors @Jason has kindly allowed us to make one thread for news and product enquiries regarding AC Schnitzer upgrades for the new 3 series. Thanks Jason! Once G20 forum sponsorship becomes available we will transfer our sponsorship from the F30 UK section to here. Some of you will already know of me from that section but if not, my name is Lorcan (yes that’s my real name) and I work at Rossiters Ltd in Norfolk. Hello! Rossiters are the importers of the AC Schnitzer tuning brand for the UK and Ireland. We are also dealers for Recaro, Steinbauer, Akrapovic, Bilstein and Eibach, but our main focus is AC Schnitzer.
AC Schnitzer operate in 6 product areas; aerodynamic, engine performance upgrades, alloy wheels, sports exhausts, interior accessories and the one we are best known for – suspension. Your choice of AC Schnitzer upgrades can also be combined to create a complete AC Schnitzer car, known as an ACS3. We will be releasing products in all these categories for the G20 later this year. So, what do we know so far? Aerodynamics: AC Schnitzer has quite an individual style and does not follow the herd when it comes to aerodynamics. Most AC Schnitzer aero items are paintable PU-RIM, a kind of polyurethane widely used by OEMs for its durability. These are usually bonded on after painting. Occasionally we get into carbon fibre. Specific G20 items will be available later this year. Alloy wheels: In common with the rest of the G series the G20 wheels are on a 5 x 112 PCD bolt pattern (5 bolts on a circle of 112mm diameter). Most BMW wheels up to now have been on 5 x 120, which means that any pre-existing wheels intended for the F generation won’t fit. AC Schnitzer have already manufactured 19” and 20” AC1 style wheels in the new fitment and I’ll post details of these shortly. Performance upgrades: All AC Schnitzer performance upgrades are hardware based so don’t mess with your BMW software, and come with a 3 year 100,000km warranty from AC Schnitzer to cover the engine, drivetrain and OPF filters (where fitted) from the date of first registration. Upgrades for G20 models will be released as soon as testing and homologation has been completed. Expect power and torque increases of around 20%. All petrol upgrades will be fully compatible with OPF and the latest WLTP emissions standards. Sports exhausts: All our sports exhausts will be developed to make the most of the available engine sound and will be fully compatible with OPF filters (where fitted). We won’t be deleting any OPF filters as this would negatively alter the emissions of the car and impact your car warranty. We’re getting some great feedback from customers with other OPF-equipped models so we’re optimistic about exhausts for these models. Interior: Expect the usual smattering of interior parts like pedal sets, floor mats, shift paddles and so on, all bearing the AC Schnitzer logo of course! Suspension: AC Schnitzer suspension for F3X was a big hit for us with thousands of spring kits sold in the UK and a good number of customers opting to upgrade their dampers too, especially on cars with xDrive. AC Schnitzer are currently developing suspension products for the G20 aimed at sportier handling and appearance with maintained, or even enhanced, ride comfort. Look out for these this summer. More news as I get it... Lorcan |

Hello Lorcan, it’s good to meet you!
Splitter looks good, much better than the F30 ACS one, and probably nicer than the M Performance G20 splitter. How does it work being in 3 pieces though? |

Hey Lorcan,
I'm expecting my delivery of my G20 330i in the next week or 2. Do you guys usually do a deal for a full kit - splitter, skirts, spoiler together etc? Any plans to do that in the G20 stuff? Burnsy |

We usually leave it to our dealers to make any offers which include fitting (unless the car is coming to us in Norfolk), but occasionally we put together packages. We'll see in a few weeks which combinations might go well together.

A few interior bits added to our line up: Alloy footrest, pedals (auto), shifter paddles and a key holder. No manual pedals yet as apparently there is some difference between the G20 and previous generations?
