German tuner AC Schnitzer has released a few details, and these photos, covering its latest package for the BMW 1-Series Convertible.

The main visual changes are based around that bold front apron, while the rear diffuser is complemented by the addition of new chrome tailpipe trims. A choice of wheels up to 19-inch diameter are available, which, when combined with a healthy suspension drop – thanks to either a basic spring kit, right up to fully adjustable race-spec items – give the Convertible a much more purposeful stance. We’re not too keen on those mirrors.

Various engine upgrades will also be available, for example, the 135i goes from 306 to 360bhp, the 120d from 177 to 200bhp and the 123d increases by 36bhp to 240bhp. There are new instruments with a 320-km/h-Tacho, but AC Schnitzer hasn’t released any precise performance figures, yet.
