2011 Frankfurt: AC Schnitzer BMW 1M Coupe Debut

blueshark · 09-09-2011, 12:54 PM

The idrive knob looks like a Trivial Pursuit playing piece with wedges inside.

Looks like Xzibit (from Pimp My Ride) was involved in the design. Too ornate to the the point that even the couple or so pieces that may look good in isolation are lost in this cosmetic devastation...

Dante · 09-09-2011, 01:03 PM

NOT feeling any of it. Nothing.
Another 1M lost.

Romo · 09-09-2011, 01:12 PM

I could live with the ECU upgrade ( if approved by BMW ) and the seats..........all the rest is rubbish.........

Nothing will beat the original IMHO.........

mPlasticDesign · 09-09-2011, 01:15 PM

Some of the concepts/ideas are good, just not executed well. People complain about the painted interior parts but it has been done tastefully on other cars.

It looks like they have guys way past there prime working on the design.. SUCKS.. Except the seats!!! I like those haha

I think those things under the side markers already sell at auto zone. I actually saw them on a mini van, oh and a cadillac, oh yeah and a pontiac sunfire too. on my way to work today hahahah

tkbr0wn · 09-09-2011, 01:19 PM

I guess I'm out of the loop cause the stitching on the seats is one of the worst parts on the whole car next to the screen door looking hood vents. Looks like Gucci or something. Completely out of place on this car.

tkbr0wn · 09-09-2011, 01:22 PM

Maybe they made if for this guy...

lol ... that guy is a total tool ... if you watch the show you know what i mean

this is not an upgrade for the lucky 1M owners out there ... don't do it! aside from the crappy trunk spoiler the revozport concept looks much nicer.

Breaking news: designer responsible for the AC 1M has just killed himself.

radiantm3 · 09-09-2011, 01:40 PM

You can buy the same stuff at Pepboys for a fraction of the price.

Yep, I watch it. Total Tool deserves a Total ToolMobile, which is exactly what the AC1351MiSport35SDrive is.

Ali.K_BMW · 09-09-2011, 01:43 PM

wtf AC sucks balls.

Sylon · 09-09-2011, 01:43 PM

I like the back (diffuser, spoiler, roof spoiler), but the wheels are awful, the front lip is ok I guess, the lower grill is ugly, and the hood is blah. The interior isn't much better, but I like the seats. The steering wheel looks like they got it out of the latest issue of Super Street

SloPoke · 09-09-2011, 01:51 PM

I guess I'm the minority that likes the diamond stitching and the steering wheel. No ricer or lowrider heritage here, I guess I just like how different they look. The diffuser is pretty nice too. I have a feeling that it will be big $$ though.

rooringhusky · 09-09-2011, 02:06 PM

Seeing this hurt my eyes!!

I agree with what someone said earlier...it looks like the 1M took a visit to Pepboys/Walmart!! SO UGLY

nemex12 · 09-09-2011, 02:24 PM

really like the steering and brakes
like the seats, spoilers, side skirts and diffuser.
everything else, lets pretend I didnt notice those things.

Aussie_in_London · 09-09-2011, 02:47 PM

Looks well to much stuck on just for the sake of sticking something on.........Not for me!
