Hamann BMW X5 Flash

New aerodynamic Hamann BMW X5 Flashcomponents are mandatory hence HAMANN begins with a new, wider front spoiler that lends the SAV X5 a significant powerful feature.

BMW 320 COUPE

Driving pleasure has been written large at AC Schnitzer for 20 years. And happily, nothing will change for the 62nd IAA. But this goal can be reached in a totally alternative way, as the launch of the superb AC Schnitzer GP3.10 GAS POWERED shows. This high-performance coupé has LPG (Liquified Petroleum Gas) drive, where power and efficiency, economy and ecology, meet in an exciting study.

BMW X5

The BMW X5 is a 4x4 hero especially brilliant at urban terrain, and that calls for different accessories from a conventional off-road-vehicle. With its new range, AC Schnitzer has adapted the Sports Activity Vehicle (SAV) perfectly to its natural environment. Like its predecessor, the E70 is an extremely agile vehicle despite its size. With a special undermount front skirt including spoiler corners, AC Schnitzer has achieved a far more dynamic front face. It still retains the large standard air intakes with the striking cross bars, but the lines are drawn visually further down than in the standard version. So the X5 seems to crouch straight onto the tarmac. The rear end too has been restyled correspondingly, and with the AC Schnitzer rear skirt appears substantially more elegant and more sporting. Behind the perfectly integrated, chromed tailpipe trims in "Racing" style – in the form of a horizontal figure of eight - lies the sonorous exhaust system with two sports rear silencers of V2A special steel. At the front and back, the eye of the beholder is drawn to the suggested protection plate, which lends an aura of off-road daring to everyday life. In the end, you could if you wanted: technically the X5 with its high-tech all-wheel drive is perfect for the small offroad trip.
