those look like isf tips a little bit! Wheels are ok.

marcx5 06-03-2007 12:32 PM

wheels 'yuck'... exhaust tips 'very nice'!

PeteM 06-03-2007 12:38 PM

I didnt like the type IV's on the E53 let alone the E70 and those tips are from old stock.

Speaking to ACS, they are developing a new bodykit and Exhaust for the E70, due out early next year.

The white one really looks awful IMO. The exhaust is not that great either. Thats only my opinion.:rolleyes:

White one is nice,not feeling the grey

Wheels and exhaust not floating my boat.

IMHO: Exhausts seem to stick way out so need to have an angled cut to match the profile of the rear bumper. The standard 4.8 'zorst suits the car best.

those wheels don't do it..i like the stock ones beter

toohotdoc 06-04-2007 12:08 AM

the wheels would look nice ac schnitzer comeus out with a lowering kit but i agree, the new x5 is bigger and those wheels suit the e53's better. I would stick to the bigger stock bmw wheels, they do a good job!

:iagree: It's like wearing black shoes with white tux or vice versa :tsk:

not feeling either.... I like the stock (4.8i) wide oval tips better and don't like the slots around the lip of the wheels at all, CHEEZ... Plus the spokes are too thin, not as strong as the factory (upgraded) 20's or a variety of other, tougher looking wheels.

chris24 06-04-2007 11:37 AM

I don't dislike the black wheels with the white though, it's cool look, just not those particular wheels. Needs black interior though.

PeteM 06-04-2007 11:38 AM

I just got the nod today that ACS and Alpina are to bring out 24inch wheels for the E70.

Ouch..

Those wheels are awful. BMW design has moved on yet ACS still think a design that must now be several years old still works.

To be fair these are existing wheels shown on an E70. ACS are developing a couple of new wheel styles, body kit, Suspension, exhaust, for the E70

Fair enough, they are hardly doing themselves any favours running out the same old design though. Particularly for a brand that at least in the UK enjoys the privelege of being distributed by BMW dealers.

Thats a fair point, but just FYI ACS are owned by the largest BMW dealer in Germany and there is a relationship there beyond that of BMW UK. But to an extent underlines your point even more.
