AC Schnitzer gives us the BMW i3S electric hot-hatch

The BMW i3S is not a sporty vehicle to look at or to drive — at least not until this AC Schnitzer version came along.

This new tuning package from AC Schnitzer brings the vehicle’s sportiness to the next level. It has no power upgrade, but it has suspension and aero upgrades which makes driving more fun. The tuning company made these parts are available for both the standard BMW i3 and the i3S.

The i3 receives some lowering springs, which lower the BMW i3S 10 – 15 mm, front to rear. As for the standard BMW i3, those same springs lower it 15 – 20 mm, front to rear, due to the car’s higher stock ride height. Note that this is not for REx-equipped i3s, due to their heavier rear weight. It also comes with a set of wheel spacers, which help widen the wheel track even further. They’re 12 mm black anodized aluminum spacers but they’re only available for the BMW i3S. Not only do they make the i3S look cooler, as its wheels become flush with the fenders, but they help increase grip and handling a bit.

The AC Schnitzer BMW i3 gets a new front splitter (LCI model only), a new rear skirt protection foil and a rear roof spoiler for improved aerodynamics.

All of the parts are quite subtle, but overall, it does make a big difference in terms of adding sportiness to this electric hot hatch.
