...........While I respect AC Schnitzer a lot, there's something that's not working for me with this vehicle - whether it's the childish decals or the wheels with wrong color, I just can't put my finger on it....Hmmm....

Could be the Z4 itself. :P It only looks good in its GT3 form.
 
From an engineering point this is no doubt very impressive but it's ruined by the horrendous design. How could anyone think this was a good choice?!

Of course it's the wheels, these should always be carbon black or silver and never of any other colour, with the only exception being the Subaru WRX's wheels.
 
The orange rims are a bit of a turn-off for me. I can accept the decals, but they are a bit too flashy. But it might look better if it can be put in a different color depending on your choice of colors when repainting. It's a concept car after all, so some decals to let people know what it is (even though as I said these "are a bit too flashy") wouldn't be as bad compared to if this was a production model. Now if these decals were on a production model then I would say no.

However, being that this AC Schnitzer is designed as a car getting more performance out of the Z4's Diesel engine, that along with the subtle body kit (setting decals aside), these two things are the parts of the car I like most.

Though it was a hard decision to give, I decided to put down a like.

Besides, if people don't like the style or color but like the performance of the car, they can change the color of the body and provide new rims on it. If I was to get that car, I personally would paint it any Medium shade of Orange with Black Rims (in order to make it contrast with the car's black interior with orange accents).
