That looks a lot like someone spruced up the Merc off-roader Goblin Works did in Romania, or somewhere in that neck of the woods.

Spotted on facebook

Just popped up on YouTube in hampshirephotos channel. Decided I wouldn't bother watching it...
I'm viewing this on my phone, I zoomed in and genuinely thought it had a bike carrier on the back...

So how do you open the boot?!?! Is the lawnmower handle hinged at the bottom where it meets the bumper? Does a 4wd hatchback really have a problem with insufficient downforce at the rear?
I am more puzzled as to how it can be road legal, looks dangerous to me

I'm not sure it has the desired effect either https://youtu.be/PE0LtqBc3gI?si=zDN-un4sPcZHYDml&a...

Not sure I understand the BZ on the reg plate. Seems to be at both ends.
It's the Italian province code for Bolzano, where it's registered. On the old Italian number plate format, before it went all EU, they put the province code at the start on the front plate and at the end on the rear plate. So it would appear as BZ-123456 on the front and 123456-BZ on the rear.
This did not get the credit it deserved. Absolute A-grade bearding here!

TBH I’m not sure I should have posted it here. It’s a bit funky looking and looks like it’d be fun

Thank you.

How did you get to know this stuff.

The graphics are totally unnecessary, it would be odd for a bloke to be called Sue.

Is it the automotive equivalent of stating your pronouns?
In case anyone is unsure of the driver's gender identity?

Spotted this on eBay, £14,495. Not overly offensive but still badly modified.

On the assumption that the customization was relatively expensive, it really is terrible. For those who have no interest in modern cars it is entirely invisible - it just looks like a normal BMW to me - and it seems to get up the noses of those in the know about such vehicles. Failure on both counts, therefore.
