Mmmmmm.....Smooth & Sleek E34 BMW Bastardisation...

[0ldCh0d]

Yesterday, whilst in Sunny Edinburgh with my good lady..I spotted this...what can only be described as a monstrosity.

 

Note..the 99p shop lettering of the authentic Alpina badge...the custom Louvre bonnet vents, & my personal favourite....the smooth doors....I could go on & on about the state of this...however..you can judge for yourselves.

 

I give you....the new streamlined BMW E34.....

I find the ex AA, non wankerised, non 'let's outdoors' VW Transporter behind most appealing.

I never noticed that tbh...my jaw was on the ground at the vulgarity of the BMW. Well noticed

The van I described that is the opposite of the one that sneaked into your picture, or rather the drivers thereof, are some of the most arrogant, odious, sanctimonious self-proclaimed-saviours-of-the-planet that I have ever had the misfortune to cross paths with. I don't mean the pineapple/vintage expedition lads, I mean the examples that are usually painted super shiny black and adorned with chrome nudge bars and running boards.

 

Those can get in the sea.

 

The BMW doesn't offend me in the least. It's mildly incongruous at the most.

I never realised they did an Alpina 520i

Sorry, I didn't intend to start a barryboys thread..:-$

Aside from the stupid headlamps, door handle delete, silly paint and Alpina badging - the hallmark of somebody just not knowing when to stop:

 

I rather like it.

Needs to be painted Kawasaki green.

[srad34]

needs to be painted with fire imho...

[SiC]

I actually kinda like it?

 

However it needs a twin-turbo/supercharge setup putting out sillyBHP to be acceptable though - usually when in silly ranges, such mods are necessary anyway to fit all the hardware such as turbos, pipework & radiators. Just this doesn't appear to have such power, yet it has this body kit. So it's crap...

You can still see the outline of where the front door Handles were in the expertly sculpted filler, excellent

It probably looks far worse "in the flesh", but as abortions go, that's reasonably placenta.................

I like it......
