Hello Guy's!

Wanted to hear what do you think about the AC schnitzer logos, and if you had a chance (not that you don't have one already) would you use it on your car.
I would like to do it, because i already have AC pedals, hand break handle and dark gray alloy wheels M5 style, so once i get M package (bumpers ext.), want something less shouting than M badges, cose mine is e61 black 3.0d (not M5) so want a different style approach...
thinking to use wheel caps, bonnet badge whole set.

would be good to hear yes and no thoughts!

Putting ACS badges on a car equiped with BMW M-Sport equipment on the outside just does not make any sense to me! But if it makes you happy, why not. They are a reputable tuner

I don't have any extra badges on mine, not even the 550i badge on the back. I think it gives a cleaner look and is a bit more understated. I know others see the whole badging thing differently, so its more about what you are comfortable with -- you will always find someone who disagrees!

True. it all comes to a personal taste, and also how you execute the idea. I have a creative background, so let me create 2 examples, the visual might light up things a bit , and who knows i might re convince myself.
