Introduced ahead of its coupe sibling, the 650i Convertible is the latest in the open-top BMW 6 Series era. A brand new styling, more powerful performance and new technological features are the highlights of the 2012 BMW 6 Series, following the recently redesigned 5 and 7 Series sedans with which it shares its platform. Offering four seats, a fully automatic roof and an excellent overall setup the BMW 650i is the best example of a grand touring car.

The release of the new luxury convertible opened doors to numerous tuning companies developing their programs for the grand tourer from Munich. German tuner AC Schnitzer is one of those. They will officially reveal their brand new program for the 2012 BMW 650i Coupe and Convertible at the IAA 2011 in September. Ahead of the debut in Frankfurt, the Germans gave us a chance to have an exclusive look at the brand new AC Schnitzer ACS6 5.0i.

Our first drive included the world's first 2012 ACS6 5.0i dressed in Spacegrey metallic and packed with any possible gizmo you can choose from BMW's option list. For the time being we focussed on the setup of the car itself, but only on the available options and extras the tuner offers for the new 6 Series.
