RE: BMW 2002 butchered in the name of rat roddery
Discussion
I'm very undecided on this one, the sort of rats I like are usually old US cars and this BMW does have elements from those which I like.
I really do like the engineering aspect in terms of the V8, the corvette suspension and such like but I kind of feel that the overall package isn't quite to my liking as i'm not certain about the proportions.
What do people make of this then as a US drag car inspired 2002

I had a white 2002Tii and i think it's a shame what they've done. If you'd ever owned one you would understand.
It would be worth more and look so much better brought back to it's former glory, and yes that Gruppe B Touring car does it for me.
The Rod looks s

I had a silver 2002tii and think it's bloody good for the BMW to have been given the rat look, adds another dimension to its iconic status IMO, much as the Art Car BMW's, rather than it being a car for trad/conservative bores....It would be worth more and look so much better brought back to it's former glory, and yes that Gruppe B Touring car does it for me.

I don't think turning it into a Rat Rod was the best use for the car, but each to their own.
I do however think it looks s
te as a rod and that doesn't make me a bore. There are other cars out there that lend themselves better to being butchered and turned into a Rat Rod. Something the yanks have been successfully doing to their own cars since the 50's, and what a great job they do too. However, that doesn't mean the USA treatment works well on a european classic like the 2002.
I don't like it.
The constant whiff of "Pistonheads disapproves of custom cars" is getting really, really tedious.
I'm a petrolhead and therefore all cars interest me, even if I wouldn't build it myself.
Who gives a toss that someone chopped up a BMW to build something interesting/different.
My personal opinion is that it's really cool
I wouldn't care if someone rat-rodded a Ferrari 250GTO. I've seen 250GTO's in real life and in about a thousand photos, but I've never seen a ratted one... Therefore I would find it interesting
