Default Thoughts on this BMW (Pic)
I stopped by to talk with a friend at this hotel today and saw this BMW in the parking lot. At first, I thought it was an M5, but it seems to be a bit modded!





Give me your thoughts. . .

Looks like just a plain 5 series with rims and a grill to me....

Just shaved off the lettering and numbering off the back.

Haven't really been looking through BMW stuff since I got the S2, but I'm pretty sure that is a 5 series with the M5 front bumper and Euro-clear lights all around. Kinda like our JDM headlight.

Isn't that an INTERCOOLER up front?

That's what I thought too, maybe a mesh grill over the intercooler?

looks like a 540 (based on the center grill with chrome) modified with clear corners and M5 (or Euro) bumpers all around. There are grills added, but who knows what is actually behind that. looks nice though.
