This AC Schnitzer BMW M2 from Bryanston-based BMW dealer, JSN Motors is a piece of art.
It's the first of its kind in the Southern hemisphere, and features some trick bits from AC Schnitzer SA, including an ACS front splitter with carbon fibre elements, an ACS carbon fibre rear diffuser, as well as an ACS carbon fibre rear spoiler.
It has also been lowered on a set of ACS lowering springs, and now rides on a set of 20-inch ACS wheels measuring 8.5J at the front and 9.5J at the rears. An ACS exhaust system gives this beast a menacing growl, while subtle ACS interior badging completes the package.
JSN Motors are also the only authorized BMW South Africa dealership for AC Schnitzer SA.
Also worth a look: the BMW Glc and the BMW M3.
