Somewhat OT, has anybody seen BMW such as the one on this homepage?

I don't know if it's photoshop or some type of experimental BMW, just curious.

By the way, if you need OEM parts, this is one of best places to get it. Great prices, reasonable shipping, great customer service.

Hi,

It's a BMW that's been modified with a wide body conversion and a bonnet/hood. It's most likely going to have plenty of other modifications to it as well. Many BMW owners don't like this level of modifying and also perhaps haven't seen any in real life. Unfortunately, such owners usually ridicule and laugh at those who do go to these levels which I think is a bit sad due to the fact when done well, the amount of engineering ingenuity, dedication, hard work and technical knowledge that goes with such a car isn't taken into consideration.



This was one such car at a UK car show. I personally love this level of modifying, but I know many BMW owners love everything to be 'oem' only and anything else but that is laughed at.

Cheers, Dennis!

I think this is why most people like the stock body and I have no problem with the stock lines I find them pleasing.
However I wont laugh at someones hard word unless its distasteful.

Looks like a Vorsteiner widebody to me

I only laugh when they bolt parts on without thinking about why they are doing. If they are doing it just to throw money at something without understanding what they are changing then I :

I believe you're right. The angle of picture confused me.

It's also age dependant.

I think......it looks funny/weird for older drivers driving around town with "such" modifications!

Don't get me wrong but I like the effort and engineering spent to reach this level of customisation!

It looks round and bubbly to my eyes.

I think it's silly when people put all sorts of performance mods on a car that is just used for commuting and stopping by the store.

However, it's their car and they can do any damn thing they want with it.
