"VERY RARE FULL BLOWN 2001 AC SCHNITZER S7 BMW S7"

Recommended Posts

Interesting piece of local BMW history ... "This was once the BMW NZ director’s company car and .... was sold new for nearly $200k to BMW New Ze3aland Management and we have original invoice of purchase price and original manuals with service history."

$20K with 167Kms on it... very well spec'ed.

How odd. Looking at the official S7 brochure, this seems to be missing a lot of stuff that a  "full blown" one would have. 

No ACS wheels, roof spoiler, steering wheel, pedals, strut brace, and ACS stripe decals.

In fact, other than the front/rear skirts, exhaust, mirrors and badges..... what makes it an ACS model? Understandably we cant see the suspension or engine mods though. It looks like a tidy MSport E38 with some off the shelf bits thrown on it.

Liking that!

If it's got a genuine acs exhaust then chances are it will have an acs tune. Maybe cams too.

Could be tricky to verify the dme mods?

Tis odd that it doesn't have ACS wheels . . .but as Martin says it has the exhausts etc. Maybe 'The Director' preferred the cleaner look of the MSport wheels.

Looking at the spec sheet, it is a desirable e38 with Motorsport suspension / body kit etc. nice car. Factory spec’d with M parallels. The ‘Schnitzer’ packages were available by the marketing department to make cars even more compelling…. Just like the marketing department placed an ///m badge on the back of E34 540i sport six speed manuals or m badges on a E39 540 Motorsport- the solitary M badge makes the car more marketable than a car badged ‘540i.’

in this case, this is missing the wheels, the pedals, the gear shift, - it is bereft of a few things that would make it a fully blown Ac Schnitzer S7

Gorgeous car though. Wonder how this goes with the M suspension - the e39 540i Motorsport was such a good car… I had a boss in 2001 who thought his was actually a M5 because it went so well!
