Just brought myself a BMW e36 m3 ac schnizter... Does any body know how to 100% know if it is a genuine one?? I'll stick some pictures on when I pick it up.. Interior is different lol

is it the widebody ? I think Rossiters are the only UK dealers for shitzers so you could maybe check the reg/vin with them ?

Where did you bring it from?

Brumagum...

Is the car green?

No not the wide boy but wish it was... I got it from anglia... I've emailed rossiters and havn't heard anything back yet... It's red with very mid 90's retro vaders which I have not seen before.. Hopefully collecting it tomorrow night so pictures will be on then.. It could be a standard m3 which badges and body kit slapped on but if it is sold me... Fingers crossed

is this the one from anglia car auctions,a red one with 45k and some schnitzer goodies bolted on?

this one ?

I quite like the look of that. The interior is quite funky and makes a change from the usual split and cracked leather. The anal eyes are a bit council though

The Alcantara is nice. I broke a RHD Jap import with those in - took some selling but they were really tidy and better than the usual shagged old leatherz.

i prefer the alacantara but they are not as popular as the the leather for some reason.

That's the one from the auction ... I do like the interior but I do prefer the black vaders... According to the auctioneer is genuine and if it's not I'll get my money back... Been remapped to 360bhp by a circa chip?!?!? It's Deffenitly a keeper

I must admit angel lights not usally my thing

Looks a nice car. A decent set of dished wheels will have that looking peachy!

Not a chance in hell im afraid.

Thought it was abit optimistic .... Cheers for the heads up

looks like a standard m3 with a few schnitzer bolt ons to me.

front bumper doesnt looks schnitzer either, i thought they usually had just an enlarged version of the black evo lip, standard m3 mirrors too.

angel eyes and black grills point to it being owned by someone not afraid of non standard mods.

I doubt it's a proper schnitzer car, but happy to be proved wrong. I quite like the interior too

Thats been for sale for a long time! I had a green one featured in Total Bmw about five years ago.

how did u know that yopur green one was genuine? did it have a plaque?

No mate they were options added i believe from new. It didn't have everything from the ac catalogue but it drove far better than a standard e36 m3. I believe the only e36 m3 ac schnitzer cars with plaques were the widebody cars which were called the cls and built by ac schnitzer. You could also spec them new with the widebody kit and standard interior which were called the cs. Hope this helps!

That's mate does help.. I have spoken to Rossiters and they have confirmed that it is a genuine example. Within the paper work there are invoices from rossiters about all parts ordered and fitted by them.. Thanks again for the knowledge mate all ways good to hear

The schnitzer cls was a real weapon.

Re:vaders. Does anyone agree that they were one of the best looking seats ever made? I remember the first time I saw an e36 in the flesh as a kid back in 93. It was parked up with a pair of coppers sniffing around it. They looked a million dollars back then with those seats and those staggered 'motorsport' liveried alloys. Not to mention the near 300bhp it had which made it an epic car in its day, of course the press hated it because it 'has numb steering compared to the e30 variant'.
