Doesnt go with the flame surfacing. Doesnt match the origional car. Wheels are ok though.
Yep.

WAY · 08-25-2008, 07:34 AM

What has changed other than the front lip?

Zuzu · 08-25-2008, 07:46 AM

Looks like front lip and dropped suspension..BIG DEAL..

Not feelin the luv here Zuzu and WAY

there seems to be all sorts of body bits in the kit, inc..

ExMX5 · 08-25-2008, 08:04 AM

Gotta say the front lip and skirts look less race and more rice - I'm always a stickler for stock though.

Meh. Boring.

Americans will probably like it. I've seen some of their taste in the photo sub-forum and a few leave a bit to be desired IMO

ulrichd · 08-25-2008, 04:47 PM

The rear diffuser doesn't seem to meet up with the bumper very well. The make a smaller one for the 128 which is not too bad. E-mailed CEC and a german dealer without any response about pricing.

aedeau · 08-25-2008, 05:34 PM

turbo decal = +10hp:wink:

Kris · 08-25-2008, 06:26 PM

agree aedeau, how crap. And this will cost eleventy billion dollars knowing AC Shizer.. I mean Schnitzer

Jase · 08-25-2008, 06:34 PM

I agree, I like the wheels but that is it..

Wraith · 08-25-2008, 06:46 PM

Hmmm, interesting - 1st off, I absolutely totally LOVE the 135i convertible as is...:wub: I'm a real die hard soft top vert lover :smile:

As for this one above, certain parts I like, others not.

I like the side view mirrors very much and think the front bar extension looks ok from certain angles, but wouldn't have it myself...

Same goes for the rear diffusor and exhaust tip, don't really like that one at all...

Wheels are not bad and suit quite well, but again I'd prefer something different to those...

O/A Conclusion, I like it, but not enough to go for it myself, but I would consider adopting those mirrors for a 135i coupe :smile:

randomquickness · 08-25-2008, 09:14 PM

not really feelin it either...

takahashi · 08-25-2008, 09:19 PM

I will have the tan leather that Zuzu have in the white car. The front look like 2 scrotum hanging down. The rear is very untidy.

I don't want to mention the wheels.

Uncle Ben's special

Alpine* · 08-26-2008, 03:58 AM

Well I think there won't be too many orders to AC Snizer out of you guys, aside from the mirrors, which I think are the best of the add on bits (M3 wannabes).

Thanks for your comments.

ichiban · 08-26-2008, 02:57 PM

Non feeling the exterior bits, other than the wheels and side view mirrors. I would take their pedal set tho

Qube · 08-26-2008, 03:43 PM

Repost, and I'm waiting... bring up the black vert version. Looks better

JKAWB · 08-26-2008, 03:48 PM

That looks horrible. The lep kit sticks out too far, who really cares about mirrors, and the wheels have no depth or body or character.
