Are these rare? E32 with AC Schnitzer engine

[LeonardoL]

Came across this one here in Croatia. It was used as a president Tudjman escort car.
Would it be worth 2500e?
Seller states that it has an M diff, M suspension and such.

Well, if you can restore it, it might be fine, but probably a quite old engine, even has the old Motronic with end number 150. I personally would not pay EURO 2500 for it in that condition.
Engine of the ACS7 has 245 HP, up from 211HP, here is a real good one for sale in Germany for EUR 14500 https://www.ebay-kleinanzeigen.de/s-...6509-216-17026

I don't get it. Other than the manual transmission, no OBC and the AC valve cover, it looks like an M30 motor to me. Where did the extra few HP come from?

[shogun]

in brief: Original cylinder had has been modified by ACS, widened intake channels, specially polished, different camshaft, with longer opening times, special exhaust, different programmed Motronic, shorter differential and for looks the valve cover and exhaust with the ACS name tag.
Torque (Nm) was increased by 10 Nm at almost same RPM compared to original. 0 to 100 km/h 7,5 seconds, better by 0,2 s compared to original and top speed increased too.

There was also a Schnitzer M30 S5/S7 3.7 with different crankshaft and 3.7 liter engine with different pistons

Here in post #3 on the German E30 Talk someone attached a brochure of ACS with details about the specs https://e30-talk.com/topic/40642-m30-schnitzer/
maybe you first have to register to enlarge the pics

Would have loved to drive one of those when new. I wonder if any of them made it to the States. Never saw one. Thanks for the info.

It's definitely cool. I feel like there are so many different special E32s that were made in such small numbers, like the bulletproof armored car that was used in Iraq.

M30 grills on it are pretty funny, probably crashed before.

According to realoem there is only the 750 as S = security version ex factory.

That's a pretty low specification interior, considering it's a 750.

these were often not with luxury interior, for example the one shown with even not leather seats was a police (protection) car, they have enough weight to carry for their equipment.
