Tacky.

Yeah, it's not bad. The connector struts allude to adjustable race lower lips, which is just phony in this case.

The exhaust hides the muffler well which is it's only perk.

I like the contrast of the black against the white to pick up on the roof.

The new boot spoiler isn't too bad, still have mixed feelings about it. But where I might like it I doubt I would ever buy one to put on my car. Its just alittle too radical.

It's not too bad, but with even Taurus's having spoilers, I kind of like the stock clean look.

The roof spoiler doesn't do it for me at all. It never has even on the e46 models.

Agree.

The side-skirt add ons elude me. When i first say them I thought they provided a vent into the rear wheel well. But seeing that they clearly don't do that at all, my guess is that it just is used for downforce.

Ugly--look like "spats".

As for the silver 5 spoke wheels, they've grown on me. I like them. The black ones don't do it for me at all though which is surprising because darker wheels have up until now looked really good on the M3

The simple 5 spoke is not bad, not the best.

The grille looks like it came from a 300C!

Yeah, I'm definately not feeling that painted mesh in the front air dam. Its over kill and takes away from the clean smooth look of the basic M3.

The badges... well I'm a fan of de-badged cars myself. Also, just to elaborate on the exhaust setup. I think that carbon fiber diffuser they equipped back there is hot. I was talking solely about the merged quad tips, I felt that was a bit blasphemous on a M. I like the quads on the M3 anyway, tradition aside, and I wouldn't want to shortchange it.

ACS used to make lovely cars, remember those star wheels so common on E36 and E39s? Those were the days.

Who ever is their designer now - they are ruining bmw cars, not making them look better.

About only thing I kinda liked is the grill added to the big air intake - quite poor effort after spending all that time modifying the whole car! IMHO BMW has done the MAXIMUM to modify that body shell without going overboard (and even than, look at those over designed rear view mirrors!) - and any attempt to improve that should be reengeneering it to more subtle, like Aplina does.

But they'll always have their hairy chested clients I guess.

[JerezBlue!]

There is really no need for this on the M3. Weird!

[BYZBYZ]

Front bumper and lip looks impressive
but rear is terrible
AC's mufflers aren't really nice..

[vm]

The issue I have with ACS body kits is that they are very very expensive and at that price level they should be the complete bumper or skirt and not a stick-on part that makes the body looks cheap and unfinished.

This is the kind of crap you'd expect to see on a Civic, not an M3.
The main point of the M3, IMHO, is that is a wolf in sheep's clothing, This makes the car look like a wolf in transvestite hooker's clothing (on crack)

Seriously, are there any engine mods out there for when we pick up our M3s and want some more tunable power?

[UltimateBMW]

Look through the other M3 forums. I posted some feedback I got from GruppeM about their upcoming e92 M3 Intake. Expect to pay for it though. Their last intake for the e46 M3 was made of carbon fiber and quite costly.

[pdubbb1]

i dont like it. I think it looks terrible!!!

[KazukiM3]

M3's wing looks kinda of ugly but nice...

how much this engine's horsepower with AC Schnitzer?

[theduk3]

those metal connectors on the front lip remind me of nose rings....

I liked the ACS stuff for the M6, but this sucks

[infamous///M]

the front grill is ugly, ive never really liked those blended exhaust tips either, and the 2nd set of rims are just too much

[adrian8806]

ugly...

I thought I would bump this quesiton....I cant' find any discussion on it after searching. Does anyone know if there are some euro tuners that are looking at an engine mod yet? Obviously it is extememly early...but I for one am already getting antsi and thinking about what I can look forward to in regards to some increases in HP and torque.

[BMWDEMON]

gross, only thing remotely nice is the raised rear deck spoiler...the rest looks horrible

[silvrevo]

What do they mean by "tuning"?????

An exhaust and an intake,,,, for a whopping 20hp? And $5000 outta poket?

Ya,,,,,,,, less is more,, more or less.
what a waste of time and money.

[nlpamg]

that looks like garbage. the only thing I like is the CF diffuser. I think I would get that over the Vorsteiner one.

[ihyln]

It looks terrible. M3 is a beautiful car on its own and they are really trying too hard. I don't understand what they were trying to acheive. Btw, the spoiler looks absolutely terrible on an M.

[nasdakboy]

I love the way the Schnitzer M3 looks, I just don't love the wheels. I like deep chrome lips
