[Video] The BMW X3 Tuned by AC Schnitzer

Known for its high-speed, the BMW X3 M, along with its Competition model, has surely proven this to be true. Although some people find it to be lacking, the second-best has already proven its power. It proved its capacity in stock guise and ven with its undersized 3-liter engine. Thus, the engine is jam-packed especially with the added tuner of AC Schnitzer.

With an offered engine boost, the Aachen-based tuner gives the car a great power output. With an added 90 horsepower and 100 Nm of torque, it can now run with 600 horsepower and 700 Nm. The differences can only be noticed at given speeds. This was assured by BMW, which is already operating with relevantly high numbers. Speeding over 62 mph or 100 km/h, the video showed the car’s performance.

The 0-100 km/h sprint, however, would not be considered to be that fast. And this is because of how it could end with 0.1 seconds, especially when compared with a non-tuned model. But with a more improved launch or better tire warm-up, it can be better. In fact, it could be saved by a competing BMW X3 M on a drag race. But, as mentioned earlier, the differences can only be noticed at certain higher speeds. When running fast, the rolling and wind resistance at above 100 km/h is a struggle. What’s more, the BMW X3 M also needs to fight its own mass and inertia.

In this case, a close-at-hand extra power would then be available for you. Going up to 180 mph or 290 km/h, without feeling that short of breath, the AC Schnitzer-tuned X3 M puts on a great show. You’ll have another good deal when you have a tuning kit installed by AC Schnitzer. If you have one from them, know that it will not void your warranty.

It’s important that you know about this when choosing which kit to have for your X3 M. That is because these models are fully brand new when checked in the market.
