White AC Schnitzer GP3.10 Concept Car

I think I just died a little inside for the most part this thing looks disgusting to me. There are some cool parts but I say about 95% of it looks like complete crap.

IMO I'd have to agree I'm not feeling the exterior either. Front bumper is ugly. So is the rear and especially the exhaust yuck!. In fact pretty much everything they did with the exterior is ugly. Except for the fact that is has a wider body. That looks cool. The trunk spoiler is interesting to. I like how its seemless like the previous CSL.

I love the interior, looks very comfortable and the seats are awesome. Not too sure about the color tho, but I must say the interior is a huge improvement from stock. Overall I'd give it a 6.5 out of 10. There are many things on this car that can me added to a regulat M3 to make it stand out and look really cool tho. Nice find!

Can they make it any uglier than this piece of shat?

Big Windy · 09-08-2007, 05:44 AM

at least it says "gas powered" on the engine in case you get confused at the pump

GAS doesn't mean petrol, but Liquid Petroleum Gas (LPG). It runs on both though.

yeah i know that it runs on both...it just seems like such a stupid ass thing to put on the engine and on the other badges. couldn't they have thought of something more creative or just left it at AC SCHNITZER?

The single rectangular center exhaust resembles the Lamborghini Murcielargo LP640 and Bugatti Veyron. The rear end's not too bad IMO... at least the design is clean and non fussy. The front looks busy though, and the extended center intake reminds me of Schumacher's chin

What's with the wing on the aerial? Does it actually do anything?

Wally330 · 09-08-2007, 10:03 AM

Did they invite a blind guy to design that car or are they doing Pimp My Ride on German MTV now?

Cheers

If you can get past your initial repulsion,
the trunk lid looks like a nice piece.

It looks like they took the E46 CSL bootlid
and built one for the E92.

Yes, it makes you look like a moron when you drive this car.

Lex · 09-11-2007, 09:52 AM

The exhaust looks like an a**hole.

That's not a wing at all; it's giving birth to a baby whale, can't you see?

Don't be silly - the blind guy was merely allowed to select the colour...

Oh come on thats not nice. How can you all be so insensitive???? You sould all be ashamed of yourself. You have no proof that it was a guy.

Wally330 · 09-11-2007, 02:52 PM

If I'm not mistaken this is another car from the same designer and the one that made AZ Schnitzer hire him/her.

There was a time when ACS built beautiful and purposeful concept cars. Apparently they are having a hard time interpreting the new design language. Either that or they moved their design department to West Coast Customs.

On the technical side, putting the V10 in a 3er is so 2 years ago. What happened to real engine modifications?

To think that AC used to prepare WTCC cars (or was it BTCC) for BMW, I would expect something more credible than what they are showcasing now. AC's E46 M3 kit is still one of the best BMW modification I've seen though.

I've seen a couple of other once-upon-a-time reputable tuners do stupid things like this recently. What's going on?
