Awful. I can't remember the last time AC did something nice. It looks like someone crashed a 1M into a PepBoys or a WallieMart.

There are cars you shouldn't mess with but leave them as they area. The 1M is one of these cars IMO.
Best regards, south

All I could say is YUCK on the mods ACS has done! What the f*ck are these guys smoking???
HOOD VENTS = YUCK! Very ricer looking. ACS really messed up the look of the stock hood. BOTTOM GRILLE = YUCK! Why put a grille down there??? GILLS = YUCK! Why add another one???We're not satisfied with one, so we decided to add another one... Last edited by e92_m3; 09-09-2011 at 11:51 AM.. Reason: One of the pics did not show up... |

Whoa, what's with all the cheesy decorations??? That is: additional grill thingy on the front quarter panels, interior plastics, diamond pattern seat stitching, iDrive knob, chrome front center grille plastic, "turbo" emblem on engine cover, rear badging, etc. Furthermore, hood vents aren't particularly attractive to begin with, but then adorn them with chrome and they become hideous. And what's with the pseudo quad exhaust? They look like something you might pick up at Pepboy's. This car seems like it has an awful lot of bling on it, bling that would look a lot more appropriate on a Chrysler 300 and certainly not on any performance car of a German persuasion.

Horrible
Do they ever actually sell enough kits to justify the effort? I don't know how these guys stay in business with these god awful designs. Looks like they let their local community college's first year design class go wild, then they try to sell it.
AC: I would say stop why you are ahead, but please... just stop. You've taken yet another already great car an ruined it.

That's just embarrassing. Not only is it hideous, but it's half assed... The front grill is stupid, but did you really have to leave the original grill right behind it? Really?
At least they took the ///M off, it would have been sacrilegious to leave it on. I literally feel sick after looking at that.
