But the 4x4 technology finally also has a positive effect on driving stability on the road. And really the brand-new AC Schnitzer racing wheels Type VI with bicolor finish and the racing rim Type IV, both available in sizes from 10J x 20" and 10J x 22", are much too good for the rough. In sophisticated silver oraudacious "Magic Black“, the attractive five-spoke design with the perforated crown is more at home on the boulevards where it perfectly emphasises the nature of the vehicle. Naturally the AC Schnitzer X5 cuts a striking figure not just at a trot but also at a gallop: where the 3.0 liter diesel with its 235 HP performs well as standard, the AC Schnitzer performance upgrade turns it into a definitive high-power sprinter and high-speed athlete. The imposing output figures are 265 HP/195 kW and 550 Nm.But it's particularly difficult to catch the modified X5 through the corners. With its new sports suspension from AC Schnitzer, here the large SAV will show many "wannabe" chasers what's what. As in all AC Schnitzer suspension components, the set-up shows the skilled hand of Manfred Wollgarten who carried out the extensive tests on the Nürburgring. So when it comes to handling, the new X5 cleverly conceals the fact that with 19 centimeters more length, it's a whole lot bigger than its predecessor. The occupants of the X5 however notice the performance from a different aspect. The interior range from AC Schnitzer includes not only a 3-spoke sports airbag steering wheel and aluminum pedal set, but also numerous decor elements incarbon or aluminum. The Aachenbased tuner has even designed a new i-Drive controller. In the end, AC Schnitzer always has an eye for attractive details.
