2012 Geneva: AC Schnitzer M5 (F10) Debut (updated with Acceleration Video)

04S · 03-02-2012, 03:35 PM

I thought the whole idea of modding a car was to make it better. Fail

Those mods would even look bad on a Toyota

CPWINCH · 03-02-2012, 04:40 PM

that is gross haha. maybe if it were one solid color

cidair · 03-02-2012, 05:32 PM

Total FAIL!

bmc335 · 03-02-2012, 06:16 PM

What is wrong with these tuners... Don't they get what market they are designing these parts for?

Only thing good here is the increase in power..

///M1 · 03-02-2012, 06:30 PM

Is it me, or has ACS gone down the slippery slope to the rice part of town? I thought they absolutely butchered the 1///M, and seeing what they've done to the otherwise lovely F10 M5 makes me wonder what has happened to what was once a tasteful tuner...

PR_F10_535 · 03-02-2012, 09:40 PM

I'd personally rather take the car stock vs this

How does a company like ACS stay afloat with this stuff?

+ 100

Come on...change that steering wheel already!

It amazes me how ACS stays in business with stuff like this ..... 👎

Auto · 03-03-2012, 09:50 AM

Hahahaha!

DriM3 · 03-03-2012, 11:33 AM

It's sad to see that what USED to be a great company, has become and they most likely don't need to sell thousands of units for this to be a success in their mindset...

But on the flipside this type of styling and "bling" appeals to a wide variety of Europeans, who obviously lack style and taste, but also other international markets believe it or not.

I couldn't say it better. Once again, ACS (most overpriced German tuner) ruined a great looking car.

esquire · 03-03-2012, 04:08 PM

Is AC Schnitzer even news worthy anymore ? they've released a string of horrible designs. and in this business, you're only as good as your last showing. any prestige AC Schnitzer had is now long gone.

M5007 · 03-03-2012, 04:10 PM

Are they serious with that hideous spoiler. Why would they even offer the shopping cart style spoiler.

The bolt on diffuser looks like a plastic piece that is about to fall off. Way out of place. The cheap decals need to go.

WTF AC Schnitzer?!? Stock looks SOOO much better.

Performance. Not bad.

SchnellM3 · 03-03-2012, 05:02 PM

That engine bay

Needs to ditch the wing, wheels and please give it quad tips
