Philosophy
Free from all the compromises of mass production, AC Schnitzer develops tailor-made components with the highest standards of perfection. "Form follows function" - this is the principle that engineers and designers consistently follow when arranging the aerodynamic components for the BMW M2. The AC Schnitzer aerodynamic components pick up the lines of the respective base vehicle, subtly reinforcing them and giving the body exciting new contours. At the same time, they also have a real impact: they increase downforce on the front and/or rear axle, thus providing additional road grip. Only high-quality composites are used in the production of our AC Schnitzer aerodynamic components. Only these materials meet our high quality standards.
Material: Polyurethane (short PUR or also called PU)
Due to its excellent mechanical properties, PUR (polyurethane) is particularly suitable for use in areas that require high wear resistance, such as high-quality automotive engineering. PUR is easy to form, very dimensionally stable, and - compared to other plastics - very lightweight. It is particularly easy to paint (even multiple coats if necessary). Polyurethane is created through a chemical reaction that takes place immediately before the resulting material is processed. Polyol and isocyanate react to form polyurethane in a mixing head. PUR achieves its positive product properties, among other things, through processing using the €œR-RIM€� technology (Reinforced-Reaction Injection Moulding). In this technology, the highly reactive PUR components are filled with short fibres, mixed under high pressure, and processed using reaction injection moulding. The reaction mixture from the mixing head and sprue is usually poured into a closed aluminium or epoxy resin Mold, where it hardens to form the moulded part. The R-RIM technology produces particularly stable parts with high tear and impact strength, all while being lightweight. The produced aerodynamic components are deburred, sanded and - as a special service from AC Schnitzer and to simplify handling for the customer - primed or finally painted.
Creative design
PUR, ASA, or carbon: at AC Schnitzer, all designs come from a true Italian artist: Michele Viandante; he has been AC Schnitzer's Head Designer for many years. Of course, his designs aren't just beautiful; they also have to stand the test of time: for example, many parts are tested for functionality in the wind tunnel.
Tests
If the calculations match the results, further tests are required. Crash tests with dummies verify, for example, whether pedestrian protection is met. Only once all tests are completed and the certificates have been issued do AC Schnitzer aerodynamic components go on sale worldwide.
Appraise
The parts certificate is an official document that permits the use of tuning parts on public roads under the StVZO (Road Traffic Licensing Regulations) in Germany (and several other countries). After the part described in the certificate has been installed or modified, the vehicle must be presented to an official inspection centre. The inspector will verify the correct installation and authenticity of the part and then enter the modification in the vehicle documents. The vehicle's official operating license thus remains valid. The parts certificate is part of the delivery package.
