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.

That is gorgeous.

I don't know why, but I've always disliked the AC style wheels, too gaudy.

This has just made my christmas list lol!
It's absolutely beautiful! That said, i'd be perfectly happy with a normal M3 if I could afford one...

I much prefer these relatively understated designs compared to the some of the other tuners' offerings. (Cough Cough Hamann Cough)

Its ok.... a bit too over the top for me. I'll take a regular M3, alpine white, with a set of BBS LM's thanks.
Carletti @ Nov 10th 2007 2:00AM
This...is an ugly sight. Let's have Mansory get a hold of the 3 coupe to really make it look serious.
Ilya @ Nov 10th 2007 2:26AM
Just what the M3 needed, well except for those wheels and lower grille. The AC Schnitzer Type II or Type III wheels in 19" sizes would look much better.

It is very pretty but I think this car has "Police" written all over it. I can easily see it with two cops in it (eating donuts) and with the sirens on top.

Glad to see they found a nice way of covering lower part of that otherwise ugly BMW front bumper. The black roof is a nice touch too

those rims are nauseating, just like a majority of 'tuner' cars that adorn these pages.
Bring back the last gen M3 please, thanks.
