The Germans scoop up the ‘x50d’-block in the Roadster, and energize the potent source of power even further.

A decade ago there was a diesel in a convertible is still a gotspe, but models such as the Audi TT TDI show that manufacturers are now also facing a zelfontbrander under the hood of an open car to mount. In the BMW price list you can, however, a long search for a Z4 50d, they are currently much too busy with the figure out of the Gran Tourer 212d. Fortunately, AC Schnitzer the cri de coeur of the cabriorijdende dieselfetisjist heard, and so itself, but a 3.0 diesel in the Roadster squashed. If donorvoertuig was a (pre-facelift) Z4 23i.

By default, the block is good for 381 hp and 740 Nm, but with 430 hp and 840 newton meters does Schnitzer there is still a scoop on top. The tri-turbo diesel is, according to Bimmertoday, commissioned by a customer built, and so a one-off. The tuner, which had been the economical 99d made, is now going for raw power, and a top speed of ” far above the 300 km/h’.

In total, there are 131 kg of the car scraped, making the total weight of the car with orange rims and questionable decals on 1.469 kg suits, and the hp/kg ratio to further improve. The ACZ 5.0 d, such as Schnitzer calls him, has a height-adjustable racevering, larger brakes, and the rear axle of an E92 M3, including diff.

Incidentally, if we want ourselves not complacent, but yours truly suggested the end of 2012 a Z4 50d would be a good idea. Still took a long time…
