How shiny would sir like his car?

Would you take it as far as this BMW M3's owner?


You may think your car is shiny. You may lovingly rub it with Zymol to achieve that final deep shine -- but would you take it as far as this BMW M3's owner?

Uber-bling. Did he forget to lower it as well? It looks like it's on stilts - or is the engine not fitted yet? (My French isn't too brilliant)

Good God.

That would drive the car detailer to drugs very rapidly. Can you imagine keeping the thing clean?

Although I fail to see whats gay about it. Someone enlighten me?

Looks like the guy made body panels out of recycled nuclear fuel rods! Or maybe it's an elaborate ploy to confuse speed cameras...

Shiny, must blind other drivers: so a very high Get-Out-Of-My-Way-factor . . .

Link says 600 bhp . . .

I actually quite like the paint finish

Though the bodykit and stuff is awful

And the tumble dryer in the boot might come in handy

A sub-woofer/bass tube or similar.

Imagine the cost!

Yes. But only because there happens to be a couple of max powerists employed at our company. I also saw similar items when buying a car stereo in halfrauds. Honest.

Actually I tend to stand up for car-modders on these forums. Although I dont always like their taste I think they've usually got balls (especially the owner of that BMW!). I reckon the car looks fantastic in that paint - real 70's sci-fi, a bit like something out of Buck Rogers. Dont you think its more exciting than boring old BMW blue? . Doesnt mean I would want to be seen driving it though!

I quite like some of the clever ideas and designs that modders come up with. Dont confuse chav boy racers with serious modders though.

That paint is incredible, would have worked very well with a standard or a car modded with a little subtlety, like the way it blends in with the light pods. The car itself looks a dog, ride height is all wrong and the flared arches are pure halfwits........wonder what a chrome Griff would look like

Yeh shame about the bodykit, but hats off to the paintshop for that finish. Its incredible.

(The kit seems to look better with the wider wheels )
