project to come out of the 1-Series M coupe which was launched in the
2011 Motor Show in Frankfurt. Most people have wondered why it took the
manufacturers such a long time to create a new version of the model. It
turns out that they were just waiting for the right moment to launch
this new project.

Also, the car’s racing suspension is completely adjustable.

As for the exterior, there have also been a lot of significant changes in the recent AC Schnitzer in comparison to the model it was patterned on. The body kit itself is made of a carbon spoiler, the front grilles are manufactured with chrome and it boasts of a carbon rear end diffuser.
In terms of the interior changes include changes in the seat design. As a tribute to the base model, the interior is treated with the familiar Valencia Orange tint matching up to the outside.
