The German car maker seems to never be pleased with what auto makers are building, no matter what name they have or where in the market they fit in.

At this point, while they didn’t find any weak spots in the armor around the BMW 6 Series Gran Coupe’s exterior, they did make a few tweaks.

They may call it a styling kit to get away with more changes but as they only fit a front spoiler, deck the upper and lower front grilles in chrome and then fit an apron to the rear bumper, the differences aren’t too dramatic.

The new 19, 20 and 21 inch alloy wheels however seem like a more substantial change and we’re guessing here that the ride quality may be compromised a bit by this decision.

Some of these kits may actually be considerably needed to fit around the newly fitted performance braking system with 8 piston fixed calipers and enormous disks.

A sports suspension and a new lowering kit also goes on to the BMW 6 Series Gran Coupe alongside the new sports exhaust system with chrome-trimmed tailpipes.

Finally, the BMW 6 Series Gran Coupe from AC Schnitzer, gets some performance updates to the engines in the 640i and 640d powerplants, bringing them both to 360 horsepower.

Nothing is spoken of the higher performing models but you can rest assured AC Schnitzer will find some way to pump extra juice out of the V8 powered counterparts.

As a man who knows what he wants, he didn’t just ship the car over to the German tuner and opt for everything on the list.

His requests stopped at just some of the goodies and surprisingly, they’re not the ones most easily predictable of the list.

This F20 BMW 1 Series receives a Hartge sports suspension setup, the 19 inch alloy wheels Hartge calls the Ultima set.

On top of these changes (and the M Sport package), the 1 Series receives dual round tail pipes and brand new custom made floor mats.

The Black Sapphire finish chosen by the owner goes well with anything so fitting those alloys wheels and that exhaust setup couldn’t go wrong.

This F20 here was ordered with an automatic gearbox and the 116d’s powerplant. Hartge does offer an ecu remap for this particular engine but the owner didn’t specify it.

Not sure if it’s a matter of cost, or future plans, but it seems a little weird to go for the options that make your car somewhat more uncomfortable and not go for the added performance.

Who knows, maybe he wants the looks of the Hartge version of the F20 BMW 1 Series but isn’t ready or interested in messing around with its fuel economy capabilities.
