So, at the local burger place and spot this thing. A cursory review tells...

M badge
Red caliper covers
Momo (?) wheels
Nascar-like spoiler screwed on
Auto tranny
Older 89/90/91 chassis, no sidemarker on fender
Amber front/rear side markers
Stripped bare "racing" type steering wheel

... and so on.

Either this is some powerful sleeper dragster, or another awful attempt at something.

I think I saw that guy running at Darlington this past weekend! I think he was in the Nationwide race Friday night...

I kinda like the look of the back momo wheel without the cover... if you took all four covers off it wouldnt look that bad.

Looks kinda angry...

The purists out there will hate it I suppose.

I've seen many US M5's with amber side markers. Just saying ;)

What a waist of sheet metal. That spoiler does nothing.

Of course ;) I just listed the things that didn't look right.

The key piece is the M badge and the auto tranny...

All US E34's had amber side markers/turn signals.

And the front turn signal repeaters didn't get put into the fenders until the '94 E34's, so it's a pre-'94 car. Can't quite tell if it's a 525 or 535 though.

Other telltale signs of non-M5ness is the skirts, rear bumper, and no license filler plate on the rear.

There's an "M5i" that I see a lot around here. Need to get a pics of that one as it's atrocities are many.

Not a purist. But I'm at a loss to see why anybody would rivet a bit of black cardboard to their boot lid.

Well, I guess that's one way to screw up a nice car.

I wonder if the owner has an M Sport tattoo and a fake Rolex - posing would be so much more galmorous.

Well, its NOT an M5, but jesus you guys are mean. I agree that things 'don't look right' on that car, but people made fun of me for having locker bars on an E28, but they stopped laughing when the same E28 pulled 11.97 in the quarter. Just sayin....that fake black M5 might hand you your ass one day.

PS-the rims are Fittipaldi, and they are awesome. hehe

Nah. Not mean. I listed the things to make it back to a respectable state... and added the clause...

"Either this is some powerful sleeper dragster, or another awful attempt at something."

Oh I know....I was being halfway sarcastic. The nut duster riveted to the trunk is rediculous!

my god this is gross. i'm sure it's just an idiot driving a 520i or 525i, definitely not a sleeper.
