BMW 740i : AC Schnitzer ACS7 4.0i

Chic, but perhaps a bit anonymous, that's nice features for the BMW 7-series. Both properties can AC Schnitzer for your address. However, such a battleship not the most logical choice for tuning and styling.

The appearance is not without controversy, but heck beauty is something personal. The reactions during the first showdown in which two divided camps: either you find nothing if you can ACS7 very good plums. Very hot I am personally not, but there are elements that appeal to me. The testauto everything was screwed and glued as AC Schnitzer in the catalog. That is certainly a lot of the good. Some dakspoiler I just found some nice sedan, so this time. The spoiler, can tempt me, it gives the 7-series just a more aggressive face, what is on the autobahn can be very useful.

AC Schnitzer course was also the technique is not intact. Now I rode with ACS7 4.0i based on the BMW 740i, but AC Schnitzer has an upgrade for 730d. By default, the zescilinder diesel 245 hp, but after the AC Schnitzer treatment that is 286 hp become. The 740i is a petrol drinking zescilinder and confusing enough, the content is only 3.0 liter engine. However, there are two turbo's on board, so the ability of this gedownsizede six in-line block still has 326 hp. This zescilinder in various forms in various BMW models fitted as the Z4 xDrive35i, 335i and X6. For the 7-series BMW was that the type designation 740i is more appropriate.

With an AC Schnitzer adapted engine program is the ability of 326 to 360 hp increase. The capital increase is relatively small, a sign that BMW ex-works already very good job done then it is a disqualification for AC Schnitzer is. Other tuners get no exorbitant capital gains from the twin turbo block. Still feel the ACS7 4.0i just a bit faster than the standard 740i. In standard trim the 740i sprint in 5.9 seconds to 100 and although AC Schnitzer does not indicate the ACS7 4.0i a few tenths of afsnoepen. As an indication: the 407 hp 750i does that sprint in 5.2 seconds. The AC Schnitzer gekietelde 740i falls nicely between these two models, so if you have nostalgia for the 745i.
