I don't think it's an ACS issue. It's the base design of the car. It's not BMW's best.

As long as the OP is happy, live long and prosper. Enjoy in good health!

Hate's a waste of your time people, just move along to what you do enjoy.
Thanks for your comment, much appreciated

It's really no sweat. As the UK importer of AC Schnitzer I generally post in the UK forums where people know me (we've been a forum sponsor for 7 years or so). On the odd occasion I post in the global forums I know what to expect.

AC Schnitzer isn't for everyone. It's very expensive but it does have its advantages, especially in markets where homologation / type approval makes it illegal to use non-approved products on the road.

Customer tastes also vary widely in different markets around the world. What doesn't appeal to us Brits will sell like crazy in Dubai or China. It's been the same story with the controversial front grills. Both BMW and AC Schnitzer have their own distinct style which will appeal to some, but won't ever please everyone.

The styling isn't that bad but the amount of 'AC' badging is way over the top. Multiple badges on the rear, multiple badges on the side skirt area and on the fender vents.

Sometimes less really is more. Remove all the badging and it wouldn't look half as bad.

You don't have to have it all. It's on the wheels and exhaust but most of the rest we can leave the badges off if the customer requests this.

I'd like to know what other cars the owner of this one has - I suspect he or she is a big fan of Liberty Walk or Mansory.

In that context, this M3 is a stunner.

I'm told he has a LaFerrari, a Zonda and around 30 other supercars. He previously had a full AC Schnitzer i8 too.

Looks good on the i8 tbh.
