End of association with AC Schnitzer

[largerandrock]

BMW are ending there contract with ACS in November!

Good news BMW are bringing out there own upgrades called BMW Performance!.

[Slurms]

Surprised they aren't calling them M Sports upgrades.. they seem to be sticking the M branding on everything else these days..

Where can you buy Schnitzer stuff from now then? Ive emailed Schnitzer in Germany and they cant give me an answer!

Halfords?

Hate most of their stuff so no great loss

Tasteless tat ... good ridence!

Oh I dont know, some of the E36, E46 stuff was OK, the later kit yes, an acquired taste.

[Aeroresh]

I agree, some of the E36 and 46 stuff was a bit borderline, but they did come up with some good gear too.

So are Rossiters going to be the new UK distributor? BMW dealers have been sent a memo by BMW GB saying they are not to supply further ACS equipment from now on but are still going to honour any warranty claims to parts already fitted.

Seems a bit odd as they've just released the new catalogue.

Heres some gratuitous piccies of my ACS5 3.5d anyway:-

All I can say is about time! Schnitzer's designs are execrable. It's a serious racing tuner. Why it has to market this bling kit is beyond me.

Agreed.
Their designs are very Gangsta

I don't like them one bit.

Some of their pricing is a little bit unjustified as well, £130 for a gear knob

Hopefully this means less of ACS badges on cars, as most don't seem to have anything else, not to mention the horrendous mitsubushi sticker vehicle that is doing the rounds in my local area, complete with an ACS badge and a M Badge

I wonder if they didnt sell enough. Not suprised with the way it was priced.

I wanted the ACS lower grille for my E39 Sport - but you could only buy it on conjunction with some ridiculous flipper things for the bumper and a pointless fill-in section for the foglights at a cost of £700.

Needless to say I passed..
