Everyone was impressed by the M3's little brother, the 1M Coupe when it was released. Many said it is a better car than the E92 and AC Schnitzer seems to agree.
The German tuners managed to create the fastest road-legal BMW on the Hockenheim Short Circuit from the 1M Coupe (with a lap time of just 1:11.70 minutes). Their creation is more powerful than the standard car, boasting 400 HP and 560 Nm of torque due to a performance upgrade.

The suspension was changed too, with a racing kit that is fully height-adjustable. This way the ACS1 Sport Coupe provides maximum agility and dynamism. The central console is now painted in "Valencia Orange", the gear knob has been changed to an aluminum "Black Line" AC Schniter one and the floor mats are now made out of velour.

The ACS1 Sport Coupe is also the fastest road-legal BMW on the Sachsenring, finish a lap in 1:35.80 minutes, being faster than its bigger brothers (like the E92 M3).
