The new generation BMW 6-Series already caught AC Schnitzer’s attention in the tuning world, so it was to be expected that the company would also work its magic on the Gran Coupe version. The package announced by the German tuner includes a pretty cool exterior kit, as well as a 40 HP power increase for the 640i version and 47 HP increase for the 640d version. The exterior kit includes a new front spoiler, a chromed front grille with a chrome strip, a rear skirt extension, and rear skirt protective film, as well as a new set of lightweight forged alloy wheels available in both 19" or 20" sizes. For the interior, the model has received a pretty cool "Black Line“ aluminum cover for the i-Drive system controller, aluminum footrests and pedals, and velour floor mats. In order to obtain the extra power, AC Schnitzer is offering ECU upgrades, plus a new twin sports rear silencer with chromed "Sports Trim“ tailpipes. As a result, the output for the 640d went from 313 HP to 360 HP and the 640i went from 320 HP to 360 HP. In order to handle the extra power, the 6-Series Gran Coupe also received an 8-piston high performance brake system for the front which includes 8-piston fixed calipers (left/right), an 8-piece set of brake pads, and brake caliper holders. .
20 comments: BMW 6-series Gran Coupe by AC Schnitzer I won’t have any second thoughts on spending thousand dollars for this tuned up 6-series by Schnitzer. The changes have massively brought a captivating effect on this car. I’m contented looking at its still picture, but it would be awesome if I’d get to see it in motion.
 The elements of the 6-series remains on the 2013 model. It looks like the nose is sharper than former models.
 The addition of the 47HP on the 6-Series by AC will give higher expectation on BMW. I hope they are prepared for it.
 If they are looking for a higher ground clearance, why not place some wheels like the DeLorean Monster Truck?
