The vehicle has a fully sequential LPG system with two parallel 5-cylinder vaporizers. No loss of power or dynamics. The engine, tuned to a control unit and exhaust tract with sports catalyst and reassigned modified exhaust manifold, develops 552 hp and produces up to 400 lb-ft at the crankshaft. That in itself is 45 horsepower more than the M5/M6. But why power this vehicle to LPG?

Liquefied petroleum gas is a reasonable alternative to regular gasoline, both economically and environmentally, and - after corresponding conversion - can be burned in any gasoline engine. Per liter, LPG is cheaper than petrol but produces around 15 percent less CO2 from exhaust gases. With over 2,700 service stations in Germany alone, fuel supplies are guaranteed everywhere, and tank 80 liters of gas is on board with the original fuel tank of 60 liters. So you can switch between fuels at any time. In any case, acceleration is more than acceptable. The sprint to 60 mph in 4.3 seconds and 124 mph mark is passed after just 13.9 seconds. 200 mph, not just pressure on your back begin to decrease. It is nimble enough to show the rear lights to many powerful sports cars. Especially when a racing suspension from Aachen provides incredible handling qualities.

An extreme region for automotive tuners, where only a few years business has always been the BMW M series cars, in particular the uncompromising Z4 M Coupe, a machine to drive.

But the fact that the limits of this extraordinary car are far from reached is evident from the new concept vehicle AC Schnitzer - The profile - even at first glance. Conventional engine configuration brings the power of high-speed six-cylinder in-line plant to a robust 350 HP. Not only is an "active breathing" airbox used, but the engine control unit has been remapped. But power is not sufficient to achieve maximum athletic heart.

But under its soft shell lurks a male bending machine, which is not governed by the whole world especially in the AC Schnitzer version. Sharp as a top athlete, the car looks great, even in the parking lot. La Chapelle-based BMW-tuners have transplanted the muscles visually in the right place. Ultimately, the vehicle is an agile sprinter and not a bodybuilder who can barely move for power. At first glance, the front skirt strikes again - is less rounded than standard and runs into a slight narrowing. This, in combination with the diagonal grid device ensures a much more dynamic. And of course, the concert was not only a pure front, but also a solid rear: The AC Schnitzer rear skirt lip or insert (for M-Technik version) offers an additional cross contour in comparison with the original, and therefore more "powerful" look.

In gasoline and diesel variants, the Chapel of the tuners to inject an amount of energy in the compact convertible. Additional energy is available for the 135i, 120d and 123d. And because the standard speedo is sometimes overloaded with so much "unbridled" power, AC Schnitzer upgrades to 320 km / h.

All hopes of overtaking molester agile 1-series from the corner are soon deflated AC Schnitzer suspension.
