AC Schnitzer MINI

Now this is fun I know it's for Europe but still, I like it. They have done some nice BMW's so I guess it's cool to see them hit the MINI.

Not all european coutries drive on the left side of the road. Germany is a right side drive country. So it would be a left side driver.

Looks like they have made mods the the R53 as well as the R56. To be honest the subtlety of the R56 I think lokos better. They do seem to offer their wheels for sale. Though I am sure they may not import to the US. But oh well. There is deffinately a lot more information regarding the suspension and everything. As well as their work on BMW cars and bikes, and Land Rover.

ACS available in the U.S. for some time

Actually, AC Schnitzer parts have been readily available since the R53. You can get their parts from Bavauto.com or CEC in Los Angeles (they are the U.S. distributor).

I have a set of Type I wheels by ACS. (Check my gallery) The big downside is the parts are rediculously expensive! For the most part, look to spend double on any of their parts.

You can see what they have to offer at: http://www.ac-schnitzer.com/en/
