2011 Frankfurt: AC Schnitzer BMW 1M Coupe Debut

phrozen06 · 09-15-2011, 04:10 AM

It's time for Schnitzer to come out with different wheel designs. I think they should revisit the Type 1 thru type 3 wheels. Do a re-release of those because their new wheel designs are hedious. I do like the front lip, rear spoiler, steering wheel, and the seats.

I think it's easier to say what's okay.

Boot spoiler, single spoke wheels, seats if the Bentley quilts are thrown out and leather/alcantara used.
The lip is a nice addition.

Grill, Idrive knob, rear window spoiler, hood, stearing wheel, colored trim etc etc. Remind me of my brothers PUG106. And no, it's not good in any way!!

I like it except for the wheels, front chrome lower grill, side grills/chrome accents and hood vents.

The mods seem to be more 'subtle' in the real life pics, than in the press shoot.
Some of the mods are actually good.
The complete package might be 'overdone'

Maybe it's as with the 1M itself. In real life, it looks twice as good as on photo.

it seems like they deliberately made it a rice rocket -_-

How to pay to downgrade the appearence of the car

yemski · 09-15-2011, 12:16 PM

Utterly atrocious! I don't think AC realized they were supposed to enhance the design not destroy it. That chrome metal grill and the double side grills are just UGLY!

Manboy · 09-15-2011, 12:19 PM

No Es Bueno....

SiN55 · 09-15-2011, 12:27 PM

OMG, CIA must find this designer.

G2G · 09-15-2011, 01:30 PM

nope

+1 Got to see it in person today and it looks good.

I'm not quick to say something is bad looking, but wow, the bonnet vents and extra side grill thing is atrocious

drstorm · 09-16-2011, 06:47 AM

2 words : BLING BLING!!

fatjoez · 09-19-2011, 07:58 PM

lol another tacky AC kit.
exhaust is nice though

E91_E88_E21 · 09-20-2011, 04:11 AM

back from the IAA, with a little report about my impressions.
was invited and talked to Mr. Wallusch who had the pleasure "explain" all the details.
i asked him about what is not my cup of coffe. the hood inlays, the second chrome side vent.
the explaining was. this is for the chinese and arabian market. they like it. i can´t imagine that, and it is a miscredit on that people in general.
the interior with the sprayed VO looks good. Also the seats, in my taste.
outside: not a fan of the metal front grille. the rest is still ok but not that improvement which schnitzer is talking about. coilover is a joint venture with KW he said.

i liked the oem white 1M in hall 11 much better.

Yea, blame it on the Chinese and Arabs... whatever

If you look at the other recent ACS mods (not just for 1M), they all look like shit. Time to find a new lead designer.

Beemer22 · 11-02-2011, 11:34 AM

That is the best looking exhaust for this car, for some reason makes the rear end look wider. It's perfect.

Everything else is garbage.

Strange that there no Hamann kit out yet.

mPlasticDesign · 11-02-2011, 12:35 PM

Had time to process this project:

-Hood vents still got to go!
-Engine bay cosmetic mods also....got to go!
-Steering wheel(probably too many contours for my liking) is ok and works with the interior stitching
-Seat are super nice, definitely keep!
-Painted center console...GOT TO GO!
-Exhaust with diffuser is pretty nice look for ACS
-Front lip(not into front lips) but decent looking as far as front lips go
-Wheels are OK for ACS
-Lower grill insert(not my style) but it is an ACS trademark look and with the wheels and chrome gills and kidneys it's ok, I guess.
-Finally side gills. Not my style but I think a third gill would actually be an improvement, 2 just looks odd.
