AC Schnitzer Teases BMW X3 M tuning kit, full reveal imminent

The BMW X3 M is one of those cars that could be used to explain the current SUV and crossover boom the industry is experiencing. This SUV is so good and so agile that it makes choosing a sedan in its stead a rather difficult task. How could someone go for a 3 Series when the X3 is so damn good? Things are bound to get even better with tuners now dipping their toes into the new BMW X3 M tuning market.

The X3 already has plenty of choices tuning-wise from a wide range of companies out there but as far as the X3 M goes, things are still in the incipient phase. The reason for that could be traced to the fact that the BMW X3 M simply hasn’t been on sale for that long. AC Schnitzer is one of the first companies to work and even present a couple of bits for the high-performance SUV. Understandably so, since AC Schnitzer is one of the oldest tuners to develop parts specifically for BMW cars.

So far we can catch a glimpse of what seems like a completely new set of wheels, which look absolutely amazing, as well as some carbon fiber add-ons here and there. The front end seems to be featuring a carbon fiber splitter right underneath the standard BMW X3 M bumper while round the back there’s a new diffuser hidden between the exhaust tailpipes, also made of carbon fiber but barely visible in these teaser shots. The tailgate spoiler up top also got an upgrade, something I haven’t seen before in any other AC Schnitzer collection.

Until we get to learn all the details about this kit we’ll just have to work with suppositions. Nevertheless, AC Schnitzer usually delivers and does so in great fashion so I’m sure the wait will be worth it. Furthermore, people are expecting the German tuner to bring out some engine and suspension upgrades for the BMW X3 M which should turn the already rapid SUV into a proper missile.
