▀▄ eas | F15 X5 Build w/ Genuine AC Schnitzer goodies

AC Schnitzer offers exclusively custom-made vehicle components for BMW vehicles. Thanks to ACS's flexible modular system, we can offer individual components, assemblies or complete conversions. All components are precisely matched to each other. Complete conversions achieve the best results in vehicle optimization. We call such vehicles "genuine AC Schnitzer" and "enhance" these models with the ACS logo and type designation.

Here's a clean example of a 2017 X5, using genuine AC Schnitzer parts.











Modifications
- AC Schnitzer Type V Lightweight Forged Wheels BiColor Wheels, Black Finish
F: 22x10.0, 295/35-22 Pirelli Scorpion Zero Asimmetrico
R: 22x11.5, 335/25-22 Pirelli Scorpion Zero Asimmetrico
- AC Schnitzer Dual Rear Silencer, Matte Tips with engraved AC Schnitzer logo
- AC Schnitzer Spring Kit (F:30mm, R:25mm)
- EAS Coding "Works" Package
- AC Schnitzer Marque Plate

This particular X5 is off to a very good start, with aero, BBK and other items planned shortly.

Enjoy.

Clean, although I think AC Schnitzer should have made oval pipes for the X5. Just suits it much better.

And please spray paint the calipers, rotors and dust covers matte black. Only take 10-15 min a wheel. That looks gross with little teeny brakes and huge wheel and especially if they stand out like sore thumb with rust on them.

AC Schnitzer is one of best for BMW exterior imho

Going with 22' rims basically screams for MPBK with upgraded rotors or even better F85 rotors retrofit - otherwise car looks like my daughters bicycle with that tiny rotors and calipers Especially when it's 35i that has smallest rotors and calipers.

P.S. Which brings another question - not sure why even bother with 35i (no offense to 35i owners) to mod the car with AC Schinzer? I mean conversion to ACS will probably cost more than a car itself and it still be overtaken on the road by some soccer mom minivan (jk). I mean why not start with a proper 50i? You know back in my e90 days rarely someone took a 328i and converted it to expensive show room queen. It was more like M3 that was used as a starting point. Just saying
Unless it was meant to be a show room queen, then you can probably keep stock brakes too I know, I know - it's non of my business, I'm just thinking loudly here, pay no attention please

Most people don't need a V8 hence why they purchase a 35i, d, etc

Tips are bolt-on, and part of the AC Schnitzer exhaust system. Here's a quick video:

Hey, hey!!! I modded my sDrive35i with BBK and 22" HRE, hahaha.
Don't make fun of me.

50 or not to 50 is hard decision. Living in LA, with all of the traffic, V8 just will give me more stress on the road.
And believe it or not, I did felt it when I had the F06 650i.
Too much power for LA traffic, even when the freeway is wide open, somehow someway, 4 guys driving 60mph on each lane of the 4 lane highway.
