Default This is one of my favorite cars. The AC Schnitzer ACS3 CLS

And here is the interior shot of the CLSII which is nearly identical to the CLS.

I have a book lying around somewhere with the BMW "specials". The car is a lightweight version with a carbon fiber panel widebody. Interior has been stripped to the bare essentials. Wish I could find better pictures than what's on AC Schnitzer's site.

And basically a stock one for reference.

The steering wheel looks heinous though. At least in this pic.

Default Like a wing, it may not look pretty but it does the job.

Speaking of wings. The CLSII employs a wing that raises over 50MPH to increase downforce. Similar to a 911 or 986.

There were only a few built at 225k DM.

Default With all the hype over how ugly the 7, Z4 and new 5 are, I forgot about the...

3 Series compact.

Horrible...

Default Yep, atleast BMW made ONE right move last year.

Now can we get them to take the 7 and new 5 back?

Default A new update of the 7 is due this summer.

I guess they got a lot of complaints.

That's what all the press is reporting, but I don't think BMW has made it official yet.
