Dear Hartge & AC Schnitzer,

What is going on? Is the flu going around? You guys are fantastic brands. You do great work. And then Schnitzer whipped out the "Falcon" X6. I mean, really? Fugly. And now this, Hartge? The front and rear bumpers are awful. But the mirrors are awesome! So not all is lost.

Get well soon. The both of you.

-Ben

I think with the responses I've seen lately that BMW is actually going in the right direction in terms with styling cues since aftermarket companies are failing so miserably making decent kits. If BMW was making such horrible looking cars, tuners would be making parts that would enhance the look and not distract.

NoM3ForMe · 11-12-2008, 03:02 PM

Pass. It wouldn't look good at all on my Outback, and even less so on the E9x.

montreal red · 11-12-2008, 03:42 PM

the rear bumper looks horrible

hipvspec · 11-12-2008, 04:17 PM

the front lip looked like it just had a terrible disease... maybe a different view would help?

AMB · 11-13-2008, 04:20 PM

What the hell happened to Hartge, Schnitzer, and Hamann? Hamann's always been relatively extreme I guess, but most of everyone's designs were tastefully done and flowed so well with each model type. Now they all look like eyesores plastered on last second disrupting any design intent whatsoever. In fact Hamann seems the most reserved out of all three now, and that's not saying much.

sad sad sad.

Mote · 11-13-2008, 06:53 PM

This kit makes the car look cheaper than it is. Not sure what's going on with companies like Hartge and ACS. These are the masters of BMW styling and now I just want to avoid them like the plague.

RobindaE46 · 11-13-2008, 07:09 PM

wow hamann fell off

Yardmon · 11-14-2008, 12:27 PM

Stock is hard to beat for right Now !!!

Speedtrap · 11-14-2008, 12:57 PM

The front really looks shitty...

///M3Power · 11-14-2008, 02:29 PM

We need pics of that spoiler

ihyln · 11-14-2008, 02:32 PM

The front kit might be useful if those two extra ducts go to the brakes. If not then pass.

Mischievous M · 11-15-2008, 09:51 AM

Rear spoiler is the only decent looking thing. I reckon the stock is pretty but should have come in CF trim originally.

my opinion only

amuzement · 11-15-2008, 01:48 PM

Disgusting...

+1 BMW did a great job with this car and that leaves very little room for improvement. It presents a real challenge to aftermarket companies. It's hard to fix something that isn't broken.

gbelton · 11-16-2008, 11:32 AM

Like it stock. Perhaps, CF rear defuser.
