ACS is a weak offering. If you aren't doing it with a warranty, why not go all out?

Not likely. In Germany (home court) and a number of other countries, AC Schnitzer is sold in BMW dealerships and covered under warranty. ACS seems to be a bit more popular on the aesthetics end (following up with suspension and exhaust) in the US rather than performance, probably due to being on the higher tier of pricing compared to other tuner shops:

Some other reading about AC Schnitzer and warranty:
Conversion using AC Schnitzer components does not affect the fundamental warranty obligation of BMW AG in relation to the complete vehicle. The BMW warranty can only be excluded in the special case of a claim which is directly attributable to a conversion. BMW vehicles upgraded with AC Schnitzer components are therefore not automatically excluded from the warranty. We would be pleased to supply corresponding information on request.

Forums are only a small percentage of what's out there and not reflective of the overall market. However, it's good we have choices so early in the game.
