Love the front, giant logos on the rear doors are trashy, the wheels are hideous, and the rear bumper is too busy and looks even worse from the side the way it protrudes out. Just my opinion...

Nice pictures. I have to agree with scnick82 regarding the rear. It's just way too bulky. There's no way that helps aerodynamics. I am interested in hearing the exhaust note, so I'll be looking forward to that video. Can you post some real world specs like 0-60 tested by your driver? I'm wondering if that exhaust makes any different to the hp/speed. Usually exhausts are just for sound, but some exhaust systems help improve air flow enough to increase the speed slightly. Thanks .

I have mixed feelings on this. The front looks good. The rear is way too busy. And the stock brakes with such massive wheels look anemic and completely out of place.

I have to agree with most of the stuff people above me said. Front is nice, rear is too bulky. Wheels, I love. I like simple, mono colored wheel styles. Can't stand wheels that are too busy with billion spokes and multifaceted cuts....makes the car look cheap in my opinion. That's why I bought the above wheels for my X5.

@MattBianco,
It is different shape. You can just find a universal metal mesh and get it fitted if you like that metal mesh style.

From the photos I love the execution of the front bumper, nice job AC Schnitzer! As for the other stuff, does not look as good in the photos. However I have seen some of these cars on the street (similar conversions) and they can really surprise how cool they are in real life. I am always for OEM wheels (on most times actually), as they are designed for the actual car. These wheels do not look so good on the photos (at least), but who knows what I would say when I see them in person. Again, I can tell you I have seen some "hideous" tuning efforts that looked great in person.

Nothing else about the car in this thread does much for me however. Excessive exaggerations. |

Like everyone else, the rear is not very attractive but the front is cool.
