Of course the first ever BMW F15 X5 fitted with AC Schnitzer parts showed up in Abu Dhabi. Where else could’ve this premiere happened?
The BMW dealership in the Arab Emirate has been causing some big waves in the last few months, bringing exclusive models and delivering some of the first cars in the world to important customers.
Over time we’ve seen some rather interesting cars over there and today, we’re being spoiled with a black on black BMW F15 X5 on AC Schnitzer wheels and with a couple more bits and pieces as well from the Aachen-based tuner.
The complete kit is made up of a new front splitter, a new rear diffuser and skirt, chromed tailpipes and even a complete exhaust if you want to. The wheels are also included in their package and you’ve got plenty of options to choose from.
On this particular model we can see the 22 inch Type V forged allows with an Anthracite finish but you can also choose bi-color 20, 21 or 22 inch rims a variety of designs.
This xDrive50i model uses the AC Schnitzer Sports Trim for the tailpipes, in its original chromed finish. However, the tuner also offers other variants that could improve the looks of your car even more.
New ECU maps are also available if you feel the need for more power. Unfortunately, not for the xDrive50i at the moment, as ACS probably thought the 450 HP and 650 Nm (479 lb-ft) of torque of the 4.4-liter V8 under the bonnet are enough for anyone.
Instead they focused on diesel powerplants and can offer some serious upgrades without voiding your warranty. The xDrive30d model for example, can be taken from 258 HP to 309 while the bi-turbo xDrive40d will reach 360 HP under their supervision, instead of the stock 313 HP.
The most powerful version though is the improved M50d that takes the tri-turbo 3-liter diesel engine up to 430 HP and 840 Nm (619 lb-ft) of torque from the stock 381 HP and 740 Nm (546 lb-ft). No matter the engine choice, the exterior aerodynamic parts can still be fitted to any X5.
