AC Schnitzer presents ACS6 BMW 650i Coupe
Germany’s AC Schnitzer will present present a tuning of BMW 650i Coupe called ACS6 at the imminent 2011 Essen Motor Show (26 November - 4 December). The standard 4.4-litre V8 engine delivering 407 hp has been heavily revised with unspecified modifications and now boasts an output of 540 hp at 5,800 rpm with a torque of no less than 750 Nm. This unit makes AC Schnitzer 650i Coupe go from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 4,3 seconds with 325 km/h (200 mph) of self-imposed top speed. This means that, in comparison to the M5, the ACS6 is a tenth of a second quicker on the 0-100 km/h sprint time and has a far superior maximum speed. Obviously, in order to manage all the power, AC Schnitzer had to upgrade the braking system (now featuring 8-piston calipers) as well as providing the car with a lower high performance suspension.
The ACS6 package also uses beautiful and ultra-light 21″ forged alloys (front pair weighing in at 11.5 kg, rear pair at 11.9 kg), a new ‘M-looking’ front bumper, chromed front grille with matching fender trim pieces, rear bumper with built-in diffuser and optonal rear spoiler. As for the interior, AC Schnitzer’s latest package includes a new steering wheel, embossed aluminum pedal covers, customized floor mats, a “Black Line” aluminum cover for the iDrive controller and some more aluminum trim.

BMW 6 Series Coupe pics
The BMW 6 Series Coupe was released a few months back, but here are more pics of the svelte new coupé from BMW, in which we can see some BMW 6 Series ancestors. It’s interesting to see the evolution in style of the 6 Series over the years, with vintage models showing that there has always been a play between sporty and elegant. The pics also show us some of the BMW M Sport package details.
While still a very sensual-looking coupé, the new 6 Series is slightly longer giving rear passengers some added room and comfort. The new coupe has all the bells and whistles you would expect from BMW including EfficientDynamics with start&stop, eigh-speed automatic gear change, and xDrive all-wheel drive on the 650i model.
Added to that are all the acronyms indicating Integral Active Steering, Driving Dynamic Control, Dynamic Damper Control and Adaptive Drive. On the inside we get a head-up display, active cruise control, lane departure warning, rear video camera, park assistant and more. And of course, for that added touch of luxury is a Bang & Olufsen sound system.
BMW 6 Series Coupe videos
The new BMW 6 Series Coupe looks like it will be another coupé model the world can’t get enough of, and here we get to see all the videos of the model. The 6 Series Coupe videos show us around the outside and inside of the car, where we can get a look at all its sleek lines and luxury touches.
There is also a road drive video of the coupe (although as per usual too much music and not enough engine sound), and some interior shots of the dashboard and entertainment system. The new 6 Series Coupe comes in two versions: the 640i and the 650i. The former has a 3.0-litre unit with 320 hp and 450 Nm, and the latter has a 4.4-litre twinturbo engine with 407 hp and 600 Nm of torque. The 6 Series coupe should be available in Europe from this autumn, with prices starting at about €80,000.
BMW 6 Series Coupe pics and details
This gallery of the BMW 6 Series Coupé shows the new six-series model after the Cabrio debuted first. The lovely looking coupe has grown slightly since the last model to give more space, especially to the rear passengers. The 6 Series Coupé gets the same mechanics as the cabrio: a 4.4-litre V8 twinturbo engine at the top of the range with direct injection. It has 407 hp and 600 Nm of torque.
The 650i is joined by a 640i model with the N55 3.0-litre, six-cylinder model. It has 320 hp and 450 Nm of torque. Both 6 Series coupé engine options comes with the eight-speed automatic ZF transmission with paddle shift. Other features include Drive Dynamic Control, Active Steering and Adaptive Drive, all for suspension, steering and cornering control. The 6 Series Coupé also comes with EfficientDynamics, including Brake Energy Regeneration and Start&Stop.
On board the 6 Series offers a Bang & Olufsen hi-fi system (optional extra), a 10.2-inch I-drive screen with Professional sat nav system and control near the gear stick. More extras include lange change warning, lane departure warning, speed limit info, night vision with pedestrian recognition, rear-view camera, parking assistant and more. On the whole this is one seriously kitted out coupé, but like us, you’re probably more interested in the 6 Series Coupé hot looks, so check out the gallery.
