Title: What's up M42'ers!! New dude'r w/question AC Schnitzer coilovers?!?!?
Post by: BAGMF0 on December 29, 2008, 12:16:19 AM
What's up all you M42 cats... Been a long time visitor to the site; but finally signed up!!  I have lots of BMW's... (2002's, E21's, E30, E36, Bavaria)

I have had a couple... ok, four 1991 318is' (E30 BABY!!!!).  I have been collecting parts to build a functional-but-sexy road warrior, but have always managed to get them running in stock form, enjoy them, then pass them on to new Bimmer enthusists!!!  I am finally going to slam all these parts i've collected over the last year.

Question:  I picked up a set of AC Schnitzer coilovers a lil while back.. I cannot find ANY info on them!?!?  Does anyone know anything about them?  They are painted yellow, supposidly custom-valved by bilstein for ACS, threaded bodies, etc...  They have the "AC Schnitzer" logo etched into the strut body.  I havn't pulled out the strut insert yet...

Let me know what you guys may know about them... or if you just now are hearing about them for the first time!

Yup... I am going to call Bilstein today and have them decode the numbers on the strut.  Hopefully they can help me set up a set for the rear to match, or revalve the fronts I have.  Putting together a list of things to do to my 318is and hopefully make it look like yours Scott (verrrrrrry NICE lookin'... !! ;) )!  I am going to start a new thread and post all the things I am going to do.. hopefully you guys will chime in and help me refine the list before I engage in the attack!

I will keep you posted on what I find out today.....
Ciao!
