Give Your BMW A New Look With Special Upgrade Package

Aside from Alpina (which isnow owned by BMW), AC Schnitzer is one of the best-known tuners of Bavaria's finest luxury cars. The independent company has reached quite a big milestone, with 2022 representing 35 years in the business. To celebrate this, the tuner has introduced a special Upgrade Package for several models, lending them a more athletic look.

Theforbidden fruitthat is the3 SeriesTouring has benefitted from this sporting touch and looks particularly tasty with its new enhancements. The wagon gains a stylish gloss black front splitter, a racy-looking set of side skirts, and unique "35 years" emblems on the bodywork.

As seen below, the Aachen-based tuner has previewed the 3er with two different wheel styles - to us, the black finish works better with the aesthetic enhancements.

The world's consummate executive express hasn't been left out of the celebrations, either. The talented 5 Series gets the same treatment, with an aggressive black-painted front lip and side skirts giving this 545e plenty of presence. As part of the Upgrade Package, the mid-sized BMW also receives a unique front spoiler.

The controversially-styled 4 Series is also available with the special upgrade and receives the same enhancements as the 3 Series Touring; a new front splitter, revised side skirts and, of course, the "35 years" emblem package can be added to the coupe/convertible for an additional cost.

All in all, it's quite a subtle upgrade but that doesn't mean it comes with a palatable price tag. Add up all the enhancements for the5 Seriesand you're looking at €2,829 (approx. $3,000) which is a lot of money when you consider that's placed on top of the actual AC Schnitzer kit.
