AC Schnitzer BMW Z4 C30

Press Release

Our engineers also invest great efforts and their entire know-how from motorsport in developing the sports-safe suspension setting. In extensive tests on race tracks and on public roads, a complete suspension concept has been developed which consists of the AC Schnitzer sports suspension, special anti-roll bar kit and the racing strut brace. The complete concept, the components of which can also be fitted individually, ensures sporting handling while retaining the high standard of driving comfort. The suspension concept also includes the AC Schnitzer Type II and Type III alloys and racing rims in multipiece design. Specially selected for the Z4 roadster are various wheel and tyre combinations up to size 8.5J x 19" offset 43 with tyres 235/35 R 19 on the front axle and 9.0J x 19" offset 37 with tyres 265/30 R 19 on the rear. For tyres, we recommend high performance types from Continental and Michelin. The high technical standards we set for our products are also evident from the bodystyling of the AC Schnitzer Z4 roadster. It was a particular challenge to pick up the styling of the Z4 roadster and continue its lines with subtle emphasis while retaining its discreet elegance. The result is a made-to-measure outfit for the BMW Z4 roadster which fulfils all these attributes. The front part is enhanced by an exciting design of front spoiler attached to the standard front skirt. And it realises even more downforce on the front axle. The smooth connection between the front and rear is created by the AC Schnitzer side skirts adapted to the contours of the Z4. The integrated cooling ducts also guide the airflow directly to the rear brakes. Particularly eye-catching are the side-mounted deflectors with integral flashers for the indicators, which with their chromed ribs give a totally new appearance. The two-piece rear wing, the triangular sections of which are mounted separately left and right on the boot, sets totally new accents. The overall appearance is rounded off by the new AC Schnitzer rear skirt, which not only harmoniously integrates the sports rear silencer into the rear end but at the same time gives the vehicle a far more powerful look. Exclusivity is the watchword in the cockpit of the AC Schnitzer Z4 roadster: as well as a silver carbon-fibre interior, matching door sill trims and an ergonomically designed AC Schnitzer airbag sports steering wheel, the accents are set by the aluminium accessories. Choose from the pedal set with matching footrest, the handbrake handle and - for manual models - matching gear knob. For automatics we are currently developing a carbon-fibre selector. Last but not least, foot mats are available in high quality velours with the AC Schnitzer logo. The AC Schnitzer Z4 is a thoroughbred roadster which combines all technical and aesthetic characteristics. On the track, cruising the country lanes or in the city - wherever you go, it's at home.
