Remember my favourite E34 from Japan? It’s got Schnitzer everything and a particular front splitter-thing attached to the S5 bumper. I didn’t know the origins of it so i assumed it was a generic one. A friend of mine told me it was in fact from AC Schnitzer and he’s recently made replicas of them. The picture above shows the prototype fitted. If you ever had mixed feelings of the existing S5 bumper not making enough an impact, this lip spoiler should provide that needed ground effect.
If you are considering going for that razor-sharp look, then the good thing is it wouldn’t create much of a height clearance issue IF you are not already running that barely-skimming-the-ramp low. The existing short overhang of the S5 bumper makes it the all-time ramp friendly yet stance provoking choice especially if you’re going really low.

The Type IIs that i recently acquired came with Falken rubbers. So why not use them first? They’re in 245/35/19 and 275/30/19. I managed to fit the fronts, with the 15mm spacers on. but had to remove the rear 20mm spacers. They will be shaved and reinstalled, once i get the rear fenders rib shaved. I also have some new Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric, just waiting to go on, in 265/30/19 and 235/35/19. Please enjoy the only 2 pictures

I’m that much closer to completing the E34 with the addition of these AC Schnitzer 19″ Type IIs. Here they are raw from storage. Pretty filthy from the pictures and there are also some chips and curb marks, but they are still pretty much virgins in terms of not being painted on, ever. I have intentions of getting them powder coated but have yet to find a shop that does it.

This is one of my all-time favorite E34. Though not much information or other pictures of it can be found, i managed to find pics of it by searching for “Schnitt E34″ I found the car’s profile here. Other known information is that it’s a late model E34 525i and is obviously based in Japan and is associated with a German car club named NKV - Norden Kanto Verbnd
It’s pretty obvious, what’s been done on the outside. The classic AC Schnitzer Type II Racings in 19×9 and 19×10, with 235/30 and 265/30 for sufficient stretch and everything else Schnitzer, including the antique Type 1 mirrors. I have painstakingly collected a series of pictures after the jump

Have been searching forever for a set of AC Schnitzer Type II in 19s from the E39 and up. And here they are! It’s in 8.5″ and 9.5″. It may not look like any change at all from my current 18″ type IIs but believe me, they are, in both size and design.
As pictured, the 19X9.5 rear alongside the 18×8.5s on the car. Can’t wait to collect them real soon
