    Ac schnitzer s5 silhouette

    Hello just want to show my 1991 S5 Silhouette that I just picked up and intend on fully restoring to its original Ac Schnitzer glory . Currently needs some tic and paintwork . Missing the front wider Schnitzer bumper and wheels . Through my research I believe this is the exact car that was featured in European Car belonging to Claus Ettensburger of Cec who was the only Schnitzer importer in the 90’s . This will be a fun project and I intend to post it all

    the pics and videos arent showing up for me... It says "Access Denied. You don't have permission to view this" Can u try posting again please, really wanna see. I'm also restoring my E34 thats been sitting in storage forever over 6 years... I have the Zeemax widebody on it, but I'm planning to change out the front and rear bumpers to the AC Schnitzers, to give it a bit of a more period correct, toned down look. But the bumpers will be very difficult to find in America, as well as the Type 1 wheels. *EDIT, got the pics to work, it was my browser.

    It’s even more difficult since I’m looking for 18 inch . Actual 18 inch not 17 converted to 18 . As for the bumper I will get it made one way or another . Will not be cheap at all. I will keep this thread updated as I move forward

    This is some dumb imgur thing, you can bypass it by copying the URL and pasting it into your URL bar.

    Also that is a cool E34, is the widebody steel or fiberglass?

    The widebody is one of the 47 AC Schitzer S5 silhouette setups made. Unlike the standard width parts, the widebody parts are all fiberglass. The bumpers are complete covers, not add ons.
    I have one of the 12 North American setups and I am trying to find buyers for a limited run of replicas. I've modified my setup slightly to make the rear several inches wider and I may do the same for the front. After I have the molds, I am willing to sell the full original set, including the type 1 rennsport wheels.

    I've got a complete AC Schnitzer catalog w/1991 price list on all available options if you'd like it. Interestingly just the 3.7 engine upgrade cost DM21,540. Pic is of my 1990 E30 w/every bit of Schnitzer stuff I could find to put on it. Had an E30 M3 suspension, rear wing spoiler, Schnitzer wheels, Schnitzer steering wheel, and even the proper valve cover for the engine. Most stuff came from German Ebay. Gave it to son years ago when he went to college where it got wacked and parted out.
