▀▄ eas | AC Schnitzer ACS4 Build: Austin Yellow M4

[Ghent]

I absolutely love the seats!

They are not available on the sparco website though

[InTheNightKitchen]

Hmmm, human beings truly are the worst. One minute it's " omg AC Schnitzer is ugly", "they haven't made anything nice since the e36cls".

But now this is dope?

[Saphirschwarz]

first ACS wheels that i like ... Still can do better i think !
awesome car !

[Steveo]

Where can I buy the steering wheel and paddles?

[Wahab]

Can you use the paddles from top to bottom? (Unlike the autotecknic ones)

[AIRPOWER]

I'm glad to see ACS trying to corner some of the US market. You get what you pay for with their products which is perfect fit and function.

I have modded my '15 F80 with ACS springs, CF front lip, CF rear diffuser, tail pipes, and most importantly the ECU module. Good job ACS.

[MSport28]

Really nice build! I don't mind the wheels and like the package as a whole. Only thing that bothers me is the ACS logo on EVERYTHING. Would be cleaner if all the carbon bits weren't branded.

[speeddeacon]

Very nicely done. It looks great. Now you just need to retrofit a clutch pedal.

[03BeastCharmer]

Like the seats, not really a fan of the ACS parts (wheels, wing).

[Sean@PSI]

This is perfect.. in every way

[monkawekrue]

so much win.

Here's the dyno in current form, keeping in mind we are still in development.



We'll start a separate thread for engine tuning once closer to completion.

Here's some quick images with accent red stitching, silver trim/matte carbon finish:







The Sparco SPX line is newly introduced by Sparco as part of their touring line, it is not yet on their website. Unfortunately, they are not offered in red. We will have a new thread up soon with pictures, specs and opportunities for preorders. 1st shipment is already headed our way.

Different strokes for different folks, no worries. BMW has great seating, but the Sparco seats are awesome to sit in and feel great, long trips will be no problem for this build.

Shift Paddles are being released soon. We've been working in the background quietly on these to make them absolutely perfect before release, these were much more complicated than the previous generation. A major upgrade (other than the aggressive styling) will be the reach is slightly extended as the stock paddles sit a bit too close to the wheel. Once installed, it's hard to go back to the stock paddles again.

Thanks for the feedback. There are a ton of M4s on the road in SoCal and the primary goal was to build completely different than anything else out there with the perfect combination of an overall unique and aggressive appearance while still paying respect to the design from BMW. Being downright wicked to drive isn't a bad thing either.

AC Schnitzer has a very long history with BMW and very much still recognized after 25 years in the game. We're glad to be a part of the team.

[FIS65]

Almost 600whp on 91octane with simple mods and no meth, that is , can't see why someone would want more than that, specially knowing how difficult it is to put the power down with a configuration like the F8x.

[brad850csi]

Can you provide more information about the turbos? A single solution of ECU flash to get around the fuelling limits people run into with the JB4 and turbos would be epic to give around 600hp at the wheels! Especially if the torque curve can be cut down a bit in the mid range for a custom order. I see this is on the ESS website but they don't mention if the turbos are their own work or if they are using Pure's

Nothing to share at the moment as tuning is still underway, the very reasons you list are key points to flash tuning on higher power levels. As you can see by the run count, we've been on the dyno quite a bit testing and gathering data.

A new thread on the performance side will be opened as soon as things start wrapping up.

You put go-fast accessories in and on your car, then you should track it.
Otherwise it's "big hat, no cattle."

[Colinv6]

I think this is stunning! I also have ACS springs and full exhaust system on my car, I actually priced up these wheels but at £5k gbp I couldn't stomach them!

[M3 Number 86]

Can I come and get a ride?

We can do another exhaust meet as well e90/f80 mix.

This is our shop M4.

Drop on by. We should get another meet happening now that Bimmefest is behind us, as well as include a dyno shootout.

Lol you know what I mean! This color is really ugly. F8x has soo many better color options.

I love this yellow. Was gonna order it in this color.

All of the colors are a bit absurd unless you like silver grey white or black lol. Well I guess that's most of them and proved your point. Black is best on any car though.
