Updating their tuning kit for the new facelifted BMW 6-Series, AC Schnitzer decided they needed to make the 635d diesel spit out a little more power.

I hooked up my accelerator to my brake lights. I hit the gas, people behind me stop, and I'm gone.

Yes please.

I'll take that one.

Also this whole concept that a diesel is designed to be environmentally concious, needs to be put rest. A diesel is designed to save us money at the pump.

I understand the implications of this however don't keep trying to say that the diesel is a green engine.

Say instead ultra efficient.

RE: "Also this whole concept that a diesel is designed to be environmentally concious, needs to be put rest"
is total BS!

Its simple: want to save the environment? reduce the amount of fuel that you burn. Period.

Whether its dead dinosaurs or veggie oil is politics.
Environmentally, its just tonnage, and diesel is the best solution to reducing that today!

Environmentally friendly?

Fuel efficient?

This post is about an AC Schnitzer 310-hp 635d.

If someone wants an environmentally friendly and fuel efficient BMW there's the 320D, which has more power than most drivers have the skill to handle.

How 'bout the droopy look in the front and the chopped up disaster of a rear.

The 6 series was a bold move in pushing the envelope of automotive design. We are already starting to get used to seeing other automakers implement BMWs design cues all accross their lineups.

So what you're trying to say is that you don't like their hack-job version of a Porsche whale-tale too ;)

actually my only problem with the back is they should have made it open as a hatch, like the new XK. Would have looked much cleaner. But I like the refresh BMW just came out with, and I do like the way the 6-Series looks as a whole.

You got that right. Didn't anyone take time to "look" at those droopy eyeballs after the car was designed? The 1-Series is also carrying on that goofy cartoon look. Bad design DNA.

those aftermarket wheels are uber-trashy. what makes people do such rotten things to their beautiful cars? mr. bangle went through all the trouble to give us wheels like these:

They look a bit like Edward Scissor-hands.
But its certainly an attention-getting package, and for most folks shelling out the big $$$ on this package that's exactly what they're after!

But those Tulip-style wheels do look nice ... however the Audi version with more Tulips look even nicer IMHO ... and I have a spare set from my wife's A6 Avant in 16x7" if you're interested. (its got 5-spoke 17" RS-6 wheels instead)

310hp and 501lb-ft from a 3.0L turbo diesel is pretty damn impressive. I'd drive that in a heartbeat...

You know what I take that back...The kit is nice (Especially the side skirts) with exception of the split in the front bumper.
