BMW AC Schnitzer Z4 E89
AC Schnitzer, the Aachen-based tuning specialist, presents the AC Shnitzer BMW Z4 E89 Roadster the brand-new classic from BMW, which has already received extensive accolades from the trade press. The BMW Z4 as standard is far from under-powered. But as is well known, enthusiastic drivers can never have enough power. Sufficient reason then for AC Schnitzer to upgrade the Z4 3.5i Turbo to 286 km/h. With a power of 360 HP and an unladen weight of 1485 kg, the open-top roadster from BMW accelerates from a standing start to 100 km/h in just 4.9 seconds. Even the most demanding driver will be delighted with this performance. The driving experience is enhanced acoustically and visually by the stainless steel sports rear silencer and the chromed Racing tailpipe trims.

BMW cars archive: BMW 303
The BMW 303 is unveiled with the slogan "The most perfect, high-performance German small car". Cheap to run and low-maintenance, it is the last word in economy and outperforms the competition with its 1.2 litre six-cylinder engine. This, the patented tube frame and the double air intake grille at the front all signal the direction the brand's development will take. For the new car, engine designer Rudolf Schleicher developed a six-cylinder inline engine with a displacement of only 1.2 litres. The chassis of the new car, which in due course became the BMW 303, was also a new design with a light steel tube frame and new front and rear axles, which were far more successful than those of the previous car.
