Hi guys today I'm looking at a 2.5 AC schnitzer e39, the owner seems pretty confident it's a genuine as he claims to of spent near enough 10k a few of years ago for it however he dosent seem that knowledgeable about the car which gives me my doubts. I heard that real schnitzers have a sticker on thefront door seals that you can only get from schnitzer. Are there any otherways of identifying a genuine schnitzer.
Thanks
Dan

I think I saw this for sale on facebook, the 'sticker' just means the car has had some extra tat thrown at it before being handed over to the buyer, not sure if there was any mechanical or suspension upgrades

You've never heard of an AC Schintzer 520i with the powerful rev happy 2.0 M52 and steptronic sports auto? A snide boot badge, four turkish Schtitzer rims and a Shitzer tailpipe trim is all it takes.pacerpete wrote:Shame he did not start with one with an engine

So i got the car anyway as it was a steal! Still unsure wether its genuine, all the kit and mirrors seem to have the little indents with stickers on. Also i believe it said 523 on the log book. I took a few pictures before it got dark.

I have an AC schnitzer oil filler cap lying around if you need to further enhance the provenance...

Thanks for the warning snakebrain, I paid the value of a standard e39 so any schitzer bits are a bonus , just curious of its legitimacy. Thanks Mark not sure if mine has the ac filler cap il have to check
