Hi andrewc89.

You are correct, they are AC Schnitzer items. Customers here want unique products, hence we give them what they cannot get elsewhere - customized BMW's, MINI's and Rolls-Royces. We simply understand our customers' needs. It's the recipe to our success.

Hi Brasko.

It is San Marino Blue.

My guys are real experts - I can customize away with excellent workmanship. I give them the brief and they make it happen with fantastic results.

Hi knifegun.

Not at all - every single car has a massive amount of thought taken into consideration when being conceptualized - consider that we have customers that enjoy the finer things in life - why should they settle for the mundane? It's certainly not for everyone but every car finds its buyer.

Ah figured it was 3rd party

Here is my Exotics Tuning CF hood - did the exact same i.e. painted with CF fins - really happy with final look, understated but almost factory look.

Hi NV GUNS.

You must have been at another UAE.

The speed limit on freeways is 120km/h but with a 20km/h grace - so as long as you do not exceed 140km/h all is well with the world.

The 20km/h grace applies to all speed limits in all areas as well - ie, inside built-up areas where the limit may be 60km/h, it is in fact 80km/h.

Also, generally speaking, this is a car mad country, which is great if you are a petrol-head such as we are! So it's a match made to be. People definitely do not drive slowly - the opposite is the reality.

Not meaning to crash your post, just clarifying.
Sorry the info I got was from a ill-informed taxi driver. thank you for the correction.

I agree, the current 7 is ugly. Especially with the hockey stick on the side.

The front is a mess too. The kidneys are oversized and resemble the buck teeth of a mole rat. That and the the lights connecting to the kidneys makes the whole thing look blocky and truck-like. Also, the tail lights look Asian and not at all sleek like those of the E38 and LCI E65.

Overall it's just as boring as the F01 but with some added ugly touches like the hockey stick and blocky front end.

Combine that with the yawn-inducing interior and it's no wonder sales have been slow. The next Lexus LS is gonna eat it up.

The rear of the 7 is bad, especially the exhaust. There too big. BMW is trying way too hard to give the current models some style. However, It's having a negative effect. The more curves, busy headlights, and chrome accents, it has the uglier the cars look. Stick with simplicity of the older generation BMWs. Those cars age well, and are classy. BMW, less is more.

Manni, any chance you can put up some more pictures of the wing on the various 6 series cars? Is it the Alpina 'heckspoiler'?

Hi Brad.

Yes, it is the Alpina spoiler - I had to modify it to fit the convertible boot-shape. Where there is a will, there is a way!
