REVIEW: Beneath the punchy looks of the AC Schnitzer ACS2 40i lies an outstanding, versatile upgrade package for the BMW M240i
BMW’s M240i is a fine performance coupé, but there’s no question that the character of the G42 generation lies more towards the GT end of the spectrum than in the realm of outright dynamism.
But there’s a middle ground, even if it might not appear that way. At a glance, tuner AC Schnitzer’s adjustments to the M240i would seem to take the car too far in the other direction: too hardcore and uncompromising. That’s mostly down to the wheels. You may wonder how on earth 20in alloys wearing filigree 30-section Michelins can work in the UK, yet they do.
It’s those enormous 20in wheels you simply can’t miss, though. They give the ACS2 40i a considerably larger front contact patch than the M240i, but it’s what you can’t see that matters just as much. Being flow-formed – a process that yields wheels lighter than casting but is less expensive than forging – means they save around 10kg of mass, all of the unsprung variety, where every gram counts. Fitted with tyres, these wheels cost £4750.
