Talking Newness! / BMW F15 X5 with FULL AC Schnitzer kit for BMW Encinitas / TAG Motorsports





We teamed up with BMW Encinitas and AC Schnitzer to pump out this gorgeous AC Schnitzer X5 5.0 V8. The SUV is currently for sale on the lot at BMW Encinitas and we have a feeling it won’t last long! It started life as new 2014 BMW X5 5.0 M-Sport Truck, and was sent to us for a complete Conversion. For those of you who missed her at Bimmerfest 2014 - Here she is!

The full list of modifications:

Exterior & Interior Upgrade:
-AC Schnitzer Front Bumper
-AC Schnitzer Rear Bumper
-AC Schnitzer Racing Exhaust System (Video coming soon)
-AC Schnitzer Floor Mats
-AC Schnitzer Rear Bumper Foil

Wheels & Suspension:
-AC Schnitzer Spring Set (30mm Lowered Front, 20mm Lowered Rear)
-22” AC Schnitzer Type V Forged Wheels in Anthracite Finish
-295/30/22 & 335/25/22 Pirelli Scorpion Zero Tires

In the end, you should know that the ACS X5 was tested by Manfred Wollgarten before being give the green light, to make sure it will cater to everyone’s needs.

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...

The Decal's were all to help Promote the AC Schnitzer Brand during Bimmerfest, so those are no big deal haha...

Either way - We value your opinions and we are helping get AC Schnitzer with this feedback to further develop future products!

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.

hmmm. Intriguing. Wife is swapping from X line to M Sport in all likelihood. The only part I don't like in the M Sport are the big black eyes under the bumper that don't server a purpose. I have seen the dividers in photos, and they are a huge improvement. The first round she went for x line and now she misses her R500 AMG package, which had similar lines in the side and back to the M sport, not to mention the school parking lot is full of the other lines.

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

The wheels would be better if they showed something behind them like real 4 or 6 piston calipers and slotted or drilled rotors. Right now, it looks like some kid put big wheels on his dad's car.

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