The New 7-series in Sports Trim by AC Schnitzer
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 wîth 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 PÚ 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 wîth 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 wîth 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.Source - AC Schnitzer
