Lipstick on a Pig? (according to my wife)

Not bad to me.

Lipstick on a Pig sounds accurate to me. The i3 is a goofy looking car.

I mean ok... but AC Schnitzer parts are hella expensive. I can't see too many people dropping 6-7 grand on their economy commuter BMW.

Respect to whoever this is for. It's not me.

Yeah, it should have looked like this but I agree that at those prices, not sure what target market they were trying to hit. Not too many are gonna spring for that package tho I think its looks very good.

Probably the 2.5 guys who have i3's, want to "mod" them, and have cash to burn on cosmetic non-functional plastic bits.

AC Schnitzer is a well known tuning shop, but what i3 really needs is a 2x power upgrade and proper wheels. BMW is no interested in providing the former, and ACS neglected to address the latter.
