German tuning firm AC Schnitzer has turned its hand to the BMW i4, offering a range of modifications for the EV -
has been teased in an official video, but before the range-topper surfaces, AC Schnitzer has developed its own suite of modifications for the svelte EV. These modifications range from aesthetic upgrades like new interior trim pieces to tweaks to the suspension and exterior design.
This is AC Schnitzer’s first go at upgrading an electric vehicle and the unique attributes that come with it, but thanks to a close proximity to the petrol powered 4-series Gran Coupe, the new elements for thei4 are near-identical to those also available on its combustion-powered counterparts. This doesn’t include any performance upgrades, though, with the job of modifying the complex control units used to distribute power between the i4’s electric motors still in the process of being developed.
There’s also a number of new aerodynamic components available including a new front splitter, front-mounted canards and a carbonfibre rear roof spoiler. Though the primary purpose of these parts is aesthetic, Schnitzer does claim they increase downforce too.Inside, AC Schnitzer can also provide a number of new aluminium trim pieces, including a new footrest and pedals, a cover for the iDrive controller, and a new keyholder.
These new parts are available individually, rather than in a single package, giving buyers the ability to tailor upgrades to their own taste. Though significant EV performance upgrades are still being worked on, the combination of these aero tweaks, suspension modifications and some sticky tyres are still bound to shave a few precious seconds from a Nürburgring lap time.
