Maybe we should take a poll. Have it open for a select amount of time.

Then, only the majority can lap up the juice of the most popular opinion and talk about that?

Isn't diversity awesome?

You're allowed to say anything you want, everyone has different tastes, I'm just expressing mine. Although I don't agree with you on your taste, I'm not going to judge you. That steering would look out of place even in a Lambo, let alone a BMW. Too exaggerated, doesn't go well with the rest of the car or interior.

thought AC Schnitzer had/has a reputation for high quality work.
Never saw anything they did that offended me.

Mikecom32 · 02-24-2016, 02:06 PM

I'm really curious to hear what they did to cut 330+ pounds off the weight of the car. I was surprised to see a seemingly full interior (at least for the front seats) in the picture that was posted earlier in this thread.

Even gutting the rear seats, trunk, etc., I can't imagine you'd easily drop over 300 pounds and keep it looking decent.

I assume it is a nod back to the E36 days with this car.

AC Schnitzer was never as good after the E36, it terms of their styling. They peaked in the mid-late 90's. I don't dislike this new car but it doesn't have the same effect on me as this.

So lame

Pyrat 2 · 02-24-2016, 04:09 PM

Like the flared out body and the color. Kind of like the wheels but not sure on the color. It does draw attention and contrast nicely with the green body. I can pass on the testarossa 'vents' though.

Boss330 · 02-24-2016, 04:47 PM

S55 engine

bimmerfile · 02-24-2016, 05:45 PM

Is there enough of a target demographic in Saudi Arabia and Dubai to justify this body kit?

If it was a M235 with the weight loss and power figures with TASTEFUL cosmetic mods, I would agree with you.

But, this thing is a monstrosity, not a monster. Just cant get past how ugly it is, and how much money it took to make it that ugly.

Love the front lip.

I read far too many forums posts before bed.

And I wonder why I don't sleep.....

Ray knight · 02-24-2016, 10:30 PM

performance mods sound great. That body kit? Ruined the car. looks laughably riced out. No way i'd drive that in public.

MR. · 02-25-2016, 04:48 AM

Spoiler alert!! AC Schnitzer has released their ACL2 packing a whole range of changes and upgrades, and an engine output of 570hp.

Based on the M235i, this hunk of performance metal flexes 570hp, while the power-to-weight ratio is measured at 2,54 kg/hp. It seems that despite its wide, aerodynamically enhanced body, the BMW has shed some weight while gaining a lot of power. The tuner parts are everywhere on the inside and outside... Just check that wing

WAY · 02-25-2016, 04:57 AM

Here you go guys. Solution for your M2 mirrors.

Robin_NL · 02-25-2016, 05:03 AM

Bodystyle + colour: Not cup of tea.

Anyway I see on the enginecover 'M Power'.

It's not an N55 is it? S55?

Cheers
Robin

Sounds right. Wonder if they sell those mirrors seperately

There is already a thread about this car that is featured on the bimmerpost front page.

Make that "soup" or "Schnitzel" instead of "tea".
