BMW's long-time competition collaborators AC Schnitzer celebrated their 30th anniversary in 2017, and to mark the occasion the German firm produced a limited-edition run of 30 special models based on the BMW M240i. Entitled 'ACL2S', Schnitzer's new baby made its debut at that year's Geneva Motor Show and would go on to win its class in the 'Sportscar of the Year' awards. In transforming the M240i, Schnitzer left very little of the original untouched. Maximum power of the 3.0-litre, twin-turbo, straight-six engine was raised to 400bhp from the stock 240i's 335 horsepower, while maximum torque went up from 369 to 442.5lb/ft. Making its own contribution to these improvements was a quad sports exhaust with black ceramic tailpipes.
More obvious were the upgrades applied to the bodywork: a 10-piece wide-body kit; carbon-fibre front spoiler; lower front splitter; roof spoiler; and a carbon fibre wing with Gurney flap. Other upgrades included RS adjustable suspension and 19" forged alloy wheels finished in black and gold, the latter shared with the car's 'ACL2S' branding. The Schnitzer's satin-finish Military Green livery makes it stand out in the crowd, while the interior is trimmed in Racing Green and black leather with contrasting lime green stitching. This car's interior also features colour-coded panels, some of which are additional to the ACL2S specification. Other interior highlights include an AC Schnitzer sculpted steering wheel; alloy control pedals; and Recaro Sportster CS heated front seats.
This ACL2S is 1 of just 30 produced. The vendor confirms that it was purchased directly from the stand at the Essen Motor Show before being first registered in the UK on 1st February 2019. The purchase price was
circa
£125,000! The current (second) owner purchased the car in 2021, since when it has been kept in secure storage. The current odometer reading is 7,253 kilometres.
BMW's more sporting models have long been renowned for their peerless combination of breathtaking high performance and outstanding refinement, and few more so than this beautiful Schnitzer-modified example. Certain to turns heads everywhere it goes, this rare Schnitzer ACL2S would grace any private collection while at the same time affording the fortunate new owner a most exhilarating driving experience.
