No pictures?

Why does someone need sacking?

[ledgie]

I assume it's because all the M5 bits wouldn't have been a BMW approved option.

its disgusting a bmw dealership are selling a diesal replica of a m5. Bmw themselves would not be happy as they insist on vin numbers before selling spare m3 parts etc. its even badged as a m5

I think you need to get a life. Why would someone need sacked for selling a car that's had a few body modifications, probably using genuine parts?

+1, you've clearly got too much time and anger on your hands. Get a life muppet.

Why don't you stroll into the dealership and tell the DP that he should sack someone over it.

Please don't forget to get someone to film it so we can all have a chuckle when you get thrown/laughed out of the place.

I agree it's annoying.

BMW should not be supporting people making "fake" cars.

This hurts the market for the real M5 - it's another reason for someone to go get a Quatroporte instead. It's a real reason why M5's lose value the way they do, because not only do they look very similar to normal 5's, but some people copy the M5 and thus remove catche from the M's image.

Thread fail.

As long as they offer the 1 year warranty on all those extra bits, however and whenever they were fitted to the car - no matter how inappropriately, they are a dealership selling a car - one which you do not like.

Rubbish, I wouldn't pay less for an M5 because I could go and buy a 530d that looked the same. The only people would do that are imbeciles that buy a badge.

I cant see that its much of an m5 replica if its running black 172 alloys, not m5 ones.

Non OEM bumpers surely must be a big no no on an AUC car?

Believe it or not, most people who spend £60k on a car want it to look like a £60k car.

People making £30k cars look like them just detracts from their desirability, and hence puts people off buying them.

Edit:

It also makes the guy in the fake look like an idiot. If you're driving around in the above BM it screams to everyone else "I really wanted an M5 but couldn't afford it". It's a nice car anway, why fake that it's something else?

I think an e60 M Sport on 19s looks superb in its own right.

I am not denying that they look good but I would be sure people could look past cosmetics if they really wanted a car. My favourite modern BMW is the E46 Coupe in M sport spec I would be happy with the look of a 318i but if I wanted to do more than commute to work and potter around town I would be looking for a 330.
