Rims are heavy as hell and i'm not looking forward to the results.......

Grail05 · 07-28-2011, 03:02 PM

i have never liked any ac's car... was never really into the looks they are after. i guess they need to change or whoever is making the design...

Why do people keep referring to these aesthetic rear bumper kits as diffusers?

Unless a flat under body panel is going to be a part of that kit (which I highly doubt) the only thing it will end up doing is trapping more air than the OEM version.

And on another note, why would they try to engineer new parts for such a low volume car? Can they really make that much of a profit? VERY VERY few 1M owners would dare put any of their crap on an already classic BMW.

Many many claps for this post. Great....

Underwhelmed. Leave the body alone. It does not need someone else's creativity. Focus on real components.

They used to be very elegant in their sporty-medium aggressive look- take the z3 m coupe for instance, absolutely spot on. These days Id struggle to find something I truly like in the ACS lineup

Straight YUCK.

Whteverjklasdf · 07-28-2011, 07:04 PM

go on, add craps for the car just for the sake of changing it.

ORIGIN M. · 07-28-2011, 08:03 PM

Wheels look bad-ass!

rmastale · 07-28-2011, 10:22 PM

Great responses... Definitely sold on them and i don't have the adaptive drive so it sounds like a perfect fit (or at least that i won't be missing a feature i once had).

I'm a few weeks out from pulling the trigger but i'll report back and post pics.

M5007 · 07-28-2011, 10:29 PM

Huge fan of the rear diffuser. That looks clean. I think they should have gone with a different rim. Not sure you need a front lip. The damn thing looks super aggressive as it is.

JB335 · 07-28-2011, 10:37 PM

SO THATS HOW they manage to fuck every car design up.

Eminenceo3 · 07-28-2011, 10:41 PM

I'll take it!

m-technik · 07-29-2011, 01:06 AM

Man, acs really needs to look back at their wheel designs from the 90's and go back to the drawing board. My suggestion is start with a set of acs type-1 rs and go from there....

CDR_UK · 07-29-2011, 01:11 AM

they should fire their so called "designer", because he doesn't have a clue what he is doing... how to make a great car look **** for a lot of cash...

ChrisBuer · 07-29-2011, 01:16 AM

It's the AC Schnitzer stuff BMW approved though? I'm sure it used to be on the Mini over here in the UK. I wouldn't mind sticking their remap on if it were approved
