I hooked up my accelerator to my brake lights. I hit the gas, people behind me stop, and I'm gone.

Forget the M3: AC Schnitzer’s GP3.10 gets 552hp and it’s green!
German tuner AC Schnitzer will be unveiling its latest creation at the Frankfurt Motor Show next week. Since the theme of the 62nd IAA is “environmentally friendly” AC Schnitzer has created the GP3.10 GAS POWERED, which has LPG (Liquified Petroleum Gas) drive.

Based on the 3-Series coupe, The AC Schnitzer is powered by the 5.0 liter V10 engine found in the M5/M6, but is tuned to produce 552 horsepower. So what the hell is so green about this and what does LPG do?... Read Article

This gets thes same (or worse) 0-60 as the stock V8 M3 from a BMW V10. And whatever CO2 gains are made by switching to LPG, we're certainly offsetting in having a larger V10.

So we essentially have here is a fashionably obscure M3.

At least I could install a propane gas grill in the trunk, then, for tailgating.

270,000+ U.S. dollar for a BMW M3 with a V10 engine you got to be kidding right? I wonder what are they smoking, it must be some really good and exclusive shit, can I have some ;)

With that kind of money you can get a Ferrari 599, or Aston Martin DBS, or V-8 Vantage, a Lambo Gallardo, or even a Bentley.

If I have that kind of money I will get a Aston Martin V8 Vantage and still have enough money left to either get Lambo Gallardo or an Audi R10.

I don't get it, what the point of this modification to this 3 Series coupe? The new M3 will probably be just as fast from 0-60 which is cheaper than this.

Forgive me, but this is hideous... Its too over dressed. The regular M3 looks so much cleaner than this, ill even take a normal 335i over that. Those looks just dont fit BMW's sporty look.

I actually like it. It looks like nothing else. But its not for sale...

"Unfortunately, the GP3.10 is not for sale since it has an estimated price of 198,000 Euro. ($272,616) However, most parts are expected to find their way into the regular AC Schnitzer range."

The only thing that should be redesigned is the side which looks EXTREMELY overdone... and if they just remove the chrome grill from the front bodykit.

zairaim, how the hell is it better? all they did is put a V10 in it and the hp went up to 552 hp. The new BMW M3 is probably just as fast for a much cheaper price.

All this rice up on the 3 Series coupe made look like a Pokemon or a Cat. It NOT like BMW need to rice up their 3 Series to sales it car, the BMW sales itself.
