I've never see a genuine Schnitzer without some interior fettling and a numbered plaque. For a while in the 90's you could option the Schnitzer non-mechanical catalogue onto a new car directly from the BMW dealer, that's all these examples are, stock cars with expensive (at the time) options.

Bandit 194 Report post Posted January 21, 2021 (edited) Known as the AC Schnitzer S3 or Silhouette. Team McMillan put the Hellrot car pictured in qube's post together in the early 90's, believe it included a ECU upgrade too. One previous keeper full BMW service history 90kms up now. Think there may have been four or five done, Edited January 21, 2021 by Bandit sp Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When I look at those with under 50,000km on the clock I wouldn't call them too overpriced, (slightly overpriced yes) not like the E36, E39 schnitzer and the others listed above. More likely those two are just in the wrong place to sell. Edited January 22, 2021 by Kiwi_BMW Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

balancerider 751 Report post Posted January 22, 2021 @Brianr70 Extraordinary that the newest car that dealer has is 2011. Good advertisement for emissions based vehicle tax 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brianr70 83 Report post Posted January 22, 2021 Dealer is very old school, whats on line is a small selection of what is available, has a lot of old euros plus old Japanese stuff like ST185 Celicas, late 80s Nissan NX coupe, Honda Integra, E30 South African model to name a few. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

topnotchrally 101 Report post Posted January 22, 2021 The PLMC prices are not really, really unrealistic... if the cars were MANUALS. I'd pay $6k for low km 1996 528i manual. I assume this fellow owns these cars as investments (no financing) if he can hold out this long... and has a no mortgage car lot. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
