1992 BMW AC Schnitzer

1992 BMW AC SCHNITZER

This BMW project was acquired in Winter of 2008. I had been bugging a friend of mine for this car for 4 years. I had always wanted an E36 BMW since I had seen this one. Over the past years I have owned and built several, however in late 2008 an issue with an un-repaired fuel leak and remote start resulted in this car bursting into a ball of flames. With lack of fire coverage I finally got this gem!

With some hard work over about a months time working here and there, after work and on weekends, I managed to get the car converted to 5 speed and back up and running again. The car currently features the following modifications, some came with the car and some were added during my restoration process.

My Ex-Wife and I were leaving for Australia for 10 months so I did not have time to complete the car, however it has now left a great opportunity for all of you to see this car come to life!
