In typical AC Schnitzer fashion, the German tuner wasted no time getting to work on the new BMW 1-series cabrio. Then again, it didn't take much effort to port over the work AC did for the standard 1-series coupe to its softer, drop-top sibling.

The ACS1 Cabrio package includes all the Schitzerfied exterior elements (new front bumper, rear bumper with diffuser and side skirts) and interior bits (silver carbon fiber trim, aluminum pedal and shifter, etc.) you'd expect. More importantly, AC is offering tuning packages for every model in the 1-series lineup, including the 135i, 120d and 123d. The two diesel mills get a bump in power to 200 hp and 240 hp respectively, with the 135i outputting 360 hp through the use of a revised exhaust and some ECU tweaks. Naturally, AC is offering up a plethora of wheel options, sized from 17- to 19-inches.

I was never big on convertibles, but that looks sharp!

Until about a year ago I was not either. I've been in several that really didn't do anything for me. Then I drove an associate's 3-series Retractable Hard Top and fell in love. Since then my wife decided she wanted an EoS, which I ended up buying for her (R32 trim) and I love that as well.

I'm still not big on soft tops, though a few (like the 1er) work for me.
