The Essen Motor Show in Germany has become one of the major outlets for Europe's aftermarket tuners to show their wares to a dedicated fan base. Among the many models set to make their modified debut in the land of schnitzel and spatzel is the AC Schnitzer BMW E92 M3.

Details are scarce on what's been done to the suspension and under the hood, but if the exterior enhancements are any indication, we'd expect the folks at AC to bring their trademark blend of functionality and style into a comprehensive whole. Carbon fiber adorns the front splitter and side skirts, and we'd suspect that a C.F. rear diffuser is mounted out back ? all of which ties in nicely to the exposed weave on the roof. The larger rolling stock (20s?) is typical Schnitzer style and the lowered ride height is likely a coilover system derived from their standard E92 setup.

As soon as AC Schnitzer releases its official details, we'll have more.

Sexy. Needs a low spoiler on the boot lid to balance the visuals, but the rest is pretty bad ass.

Urgh, no thanks - tacked on bodykit? Pass.

Whenever I read AC Schnitzer, I automatically think "Oh Dear..."

uh no, it isn't a bodykit. infact, there's barely any body modifications to this car at all. it's only lip spoilers up front, in front of the rear wheels, and possibly a diffuser.

if it's ACS, then this most likely is gonna have some power to back up it's looks. these are the same guys who take the M5's V10 and shove it into a 3-Series sedan/coupe, make it burn alcohol, and call it a day.

That's actually Hartge.

The M3 has barely been out, I don't think there would have been enough time to develope something useful.

Looks mean. 8)

No, looks tacky. Normal one please.

re-read the post once more.....

that's the AC Schnitzer GP3.10 with an M5 V10 converted to burn alcohol (E85).

Those little additions are what I'm referring to - they're tacky.

 

[Necx0]

Yep normal one here as well thanks.

I like it...a lot!

In my book: Hartge and Alpina > AC Schnitzer

Looks good, the subtle lip kit and the side skirt makes the car look a little bit more agressive, but not too flashy.

I like it. Those German tuners are going a bit too over the point lately, but this one is still within the limits of sexyness.
