A bit silly.

There's nothing wrong with a 530d in the first place.

Very silly.

I know the M5 rattles a bit on idle, but theres no point adding black smoke to the mix as well.

I would be eternally mortified to be driving around in a 530D all dressed up as an M5 - anything with a bit of get up and go could rough it up, and as you'd have everyone (like us) gagging for you to boot it just to hear that noise and see it go, you'd look bloody rediculous slowly squatting and big plumes of smoke appearing out of its arse.

For the money the owner spent on getting all the kit on it, they may as well have brought a proper E39 M5!

Now if you had a 530D and stuck a 520i badge on it, that would be better. Any hot big engine BMW/M car with a tiny engine badge is great for winding repmobiles up on the motorway - not the other way round

The wheels are pretty poor copys, and the brakes are not right too. (although only anoraks like me notice things like that)

I don't mind the fact he's fitted new wheels. The quad exhuast looks cool.

But badged up as an M5? No. It's not an M5, so badging it up as one is wrong. Should have just stuck with a conventional M badge as it's an M Sport. M5 = too far.

advert said:
"CALL CUSTOMER PLEASE NOT OUR VEHICLE, CUSTOMER NUMBER 07773364850, CUSTOMERS VEHICLE PLEASE CALL CUSTOMER, CUSTOMERS VEHICLE PLEASE RING HIS MOBILE, DO NOT RING US RING CUSTOMER ON MOBILE, IMPORTANT, IMPORTANT - DO NOT RING US RING CUSTOMER"


wtf is that about?!

And yes, silly is a good description. Certainly far more accurate than the advert! 20" M5 alloys?!
