I want one bad!

I have always been a fan of the Benz's but the new 3 series from BMW is just stunning. This one from AC Schnitzer is one that I would definetly get. BMW AC Schnitzer GP3.10 This thing is freakin sweet.

Re: I want one bad!

It was doing good til it got to the interior which is just a little to "P I M P" for my taste.

Re: I want one bad!

Ummm, no thanks.

I'm afraid that thing looks like a rolling automotive caricature what with the single exhaust ( a la Porsche Boxter ) hood slats ( Saturn Sky ) and the side portholes ( thank you, Buick Lucerne ). The not-very-functional-looking side skirt vents look like an afterthought.

All that said, the color isn't really doing it any favors either.

Styling aside, I can't imagine that the driving dynamics could be that good with a V10 up front. Just too much weight. As truzoom said, I'd sooner take the M3 or, given my sedan leanings, a well-tuned 335i.

Re: I want one bad!

I normally like AC Schnizter, but this one was overdone. The center, single exhaust looks like a big butt hole ready to be rammed by a Benz.

Re: I want one bad!

Maybe if your 18-21 years old its a hot car. At 35, its just not pushing my buttons.

And yes, the interior is right out of the next 50 Cent video.
