AC Schnitzer Pedals REAL or FAKE?

M335i · 11-14-2006, 12:16 AM

I guess the highest bidder backed out so Im getting a second chance offer for these pedals for $50. How can you tell if ACS pedals are the real deal and whats the difference? Can anyone tell if these are authentic or not, thanks!

Honestly, no one will ever know if they're fake or real. The fake pedals on ebay are actually pretty decent quality.

Are those used? Not sure if it makes sense, but I'd buy some brand new fakes over some used real deal ACS.

50 bucks, I'd say fake, unless it's from an ACS worker that smuggles them out during his shift

It clearly states that the items are authentic but used, and there are several e46 items in the same auction so if he's on the up and up it looks like someone kitting out some upgrades they did to a car. I can't say I'd feel comfortable buying from that seller based on the details of the one negative comment, and the fact that there is a comment that states that the seller admitted an ipod he had sold was stolen. It's only a positive comment because the buyer got a refund. Sketchy ebayer IMHO.

yes, it states it's authentic, but like you said, the seller is sketchy

who cares if a pedal is originally certified by acs or a fake one? No one is ever going to duck under the steering wheel and check your pedals...

I d happily go with the fakes. Even more, I ll seek for fakes if I needed

Agreed, as long as the replicas are well made, kind of silly to pay the OEM price for a thing like pedals.

bronco · 11-14-2006, 11:28 AM

I would buy the replicas-NEW

longtran · 11-14-2006, 11:53 AM

they look real to me, but who the heck knows. the replica does look real too. great price, i'd pick them up.

Chesmu · 11-14-2006, 09:44 PM

cheaper than OEM and who is ever gonna know? Just believe they're real and you'll always think you got a sweet deal.

so why not just leave them stock then?

shragon · 11-15-2006, 11:01 AM

since they're used, it's possible they might be real.

replica acs pedals are actually pretty decent and look pretty much like the real deal.
