AC Schnitzer M3 (G80)

Lorcan · 08-01-2022, 09:50 AM

Due to supply chain issues it took a little while to piece all this together, but this brand new Sao Paulo M3 turned up a few weeks ago and was delivered back to an excited customer on Friday.

The owner couldn't quite bring himself to go for uur carbon fibre rear wing, but threw the rest of our catalogue at it.

620hp Stage II performance upgrade
Sports exhaust with 110mm carbon tailpipes
Front splitter/spoiler
Design pack
Canard set
RS adjustable suspension
Roof spoiler
Carbon fibre diffuser
M steering wheel in perforated leather/alcantara
Shift paddle set
Alloy pedals and footrest
20" AC3 forged alloy wheels in anthracite
Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tyres
Rear bumper and side skirt protection foils
Decal set.

Gone are the days when M3's were subtle. I think the saying now is "If you've got it, flaunt it!"

JustChris · 08-01-2022, 02:31 PM

Superb!

SteveChester · 08-01-2022, 04:10 PM

Love that colour !

That must be easy 100K though with the mods - a lot for a 3 series……

You're looking at £35k+ for the conversion. Not that that's a concern when you already have a LaFerrari, a Zonda and 30 other supercars in your collection.

Should have skipped the decals as well

I presume this will be the daily driver then?

Not my thing at all. Colour. Extra bits. Any of it really....

The E46 M3 is still one of my favourites on that front, in either that mustard yellow or turquoise - granted a little out there in colour.

Other than the side vents and 4 exhausts, a very subtle M car on the road.

Agree with the above but ETTO, the exhaust looks good though

& for £35K+ i could have bought a complete half decent M3, but hey if you can afford it...... unfortunately no amount of money can buy good taste...

absolutely, never criticises someone else's choice as its their choice, and it wouldnt do for us all to be the same.

I mean, I drive an EV "shit box"...

Those pictures have made me all nostalgic, back to the days when my kids were babies. They produced colours like that. Wasn't keen on them then either!

Lorcan · 08-03-2022, 07:11 AM

I believe the M3 is available in other colours.

What are your top 3 current bmw colours? See far more in the flesh than most of us, so it'd be interesting to get your view.

WOW - Money, If you can why not!

That is probably the normal persons equivalent of a piece of sh1t snotter tip run car!

I wouldn't know what the most popular are, but I do like Sao Paulo. Saw an M135i the same colour last week and it really popped.

Our last two demo cars have San Remo Green. People liked the colour so much they didn't talk about the AC Schnitzer parts though so it was a little counter-productive for us!

We have a G21 here in Portimao Blue, which is rather nice.

I'm not into monochrome black/grey/silver/white personally but the Hockenheim Silver M2 Comps were very nice IMO.

Sennen · 08-05-2022, 03:30 PM

I love lairy looking cars but that is a bit much even for me

My current favourite BMW colour is Oxide Grey - looks epic on a G21 3 Series Touring - nearly ordered one earlier this year. The ACS 3 series saloon above is that colour I think ?
