i like the sports bumper better, but maybe its just the angle, or that license plate holder, or maybe the schnitzer doesnt look very good on white

For those who are really concerned.

OK I fully admit that my opinion is in minority. Though one cud say it is not a represntative poll. But still I would be very happy if just one more cud take "corect" desicison. I have seen the AC Schnitzer- gray silver - in real (unfortly haven't seen M with my own eyes). In general no picture does justice especially for comaprison in different angles and colours (in particular one cud think ACS a bit Japanese). But from what I have seen I cud say the following:

Advantages of ACS :

- lines flaw better for the Bangle's concave design both for front and side view
- it makes the car look more exclusive. Especially with chrome inserts

I consider BMW standard rear bumper as the best avaialable (looks like the majority). In this regard BMW sports is better than ACS. But in ACS u can take everything (front, side, rear) separately.

Drawbacks of BMW sports (just my opinion):


- loos a bit like toothless grin
- mouth covering is in contradiction with the grill lines

Again black colour is the worst for comparison as it hides most important lines and in my opinion is the worst suitable to ditstinguish for that purpose.

Otheriwise concerning ACS programme in general I consider only mirrors, hand brake handle, exaust and maybe rims(on the photo, though expensive) worth mentioning.

I like the ACS the best.. If I ever put an add on on the front of my car it will be the ACS, Hartge or Alpina.

Sport is a little more in line with BMW style. The AC is a bit 2 fast 2 furious for my taste. But to each his own.
