Didn’t think you could make the standard car look even worse. You obviously can.

For two grand more, you could have this



Barried 6 year old 640i or a two year old M6?

Or go back in time three years and buy it before the current owner does and save him from himself!

A classic case of someone thinking they can recoup the cost of their modifications.

Except in very rare cases, you can't. That BMW is not one of those cases!

Are they trying to spell euthanasia? That would be the preferred option

I've defended Overfinch on here before. But those exhausts...in fact that entire rear end is inexcusable.

Horrible. Even ignoring the poorly executed bling, they have somehow made it look even more heavy and lumpen than the standard one, which is quite an achievement. If obesity was a car, this would be it.

It looks as if it has had a stroke. Lights look all droopy.

Has no one noticed the beautiful, modified MK4 Fiesta immediately in front of it. You can see the progression from teenage chav to middle aged chav in one photo. It just had me feeling that it's one of those 50yr old men types you see driving poorly modified Skylines who have no idea whatsoever, holding on strong to 2002 Max Power. If you could die from cringe-worthiness then this would do it.

What I will say though is, I think it could be saved. I mean...

- De-tint the rear lights
- Re-fit OEM lights (assuming they were xenon, or find OEM xenon's)
- Fit some wheels that are wide enough for the arches and have the right offset. Something forged, custom 2-piece of you're feeling flush, like HRE wheels but there are plenty of nice cast wheels now
- Remove the aero
- Remove all stickers
- Remove all neons

Coming from a line of BMW's, I can say at least that the engine parts are from reputable U.S. tuners and proven so he/she got that bit right.

Someone will buy it though, not sure at £42.5k with 85k on the clock, not when you can get one of the same year with 65k on it (unmodified) for £16,000. YES, £26,000 less you could buy your own and F-it up like this with change. At a push this is worth £20k, if you want the mods.

Update: Here are some new pictures, it's on Autotrader too: https://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201...
















Interior looks untouched.




But this photo probably says it all about how the car has been treated and the kind of people who are into it.

It looks like one of those "youths" that have their trousers round their knees, exposing their boot sale underwear.

From that pic i though it didnt look too bad, just a set of spacers and non tinted rear lights away from looking rather OK in fact

But OMG those light effects and for some reason it looks stupidly high.

I actually saw this once at Ace Cafe - and I'm sure the owner was trying to pass it off as an M6. Either way, it's just extremely tacky, all the way down to the Ripspeed alloys.

There was a link to their website on Twitter too...such an odd mix of things that look half decent, and things like this;



I don't even know where to begin with that.

That's just a normal PH meet.

Haha, I was under the impression it was more like this, judging by some of the cantankerous members here.

I'm sure the colleague in question will see this post and hate me but this now exists in our work car park:
