Well as the title suggests Quote: Story goes a guy started boasting some time earlier this year that he was working on a Flossman M3 w/ a special coat of paint that had to be shipped over from Europe. He also claimed to be dropping in a E39 M5 engine, etc. No one believed him until he showed some pics in progress. That was 4 months ago. This is now... He still has to dump that M5 engine in there, slap on new wheels, re-do interior, ICE, and whatever else he has planned. And best of all - the ******* wants to use it as a daily driver!!! EDITED:PICS Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

What - fuc!king hell. Have seen it all on a Merc before, but is good too see the process of what's actually been done. I don't like the front bar, but it almost looks "space age" in this pic i.e. you would never believe your eyes if you saw it parked there! Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

It'd be extremely illegal here, and hell you wouldn't even be able to drive it, you'd turn into the sun and your eyes would implode. Not to sure if I even like it.

i cant stand tv's or dvd or wateva in car boots, i really hate it, wtf is the point apart from doing it cos u got nothing left to spend ur money on, cos it really doesnt look that great at shows, ppl only go 'wow' because of the "bling" factor, they cant believe how much money the owner must have to actually do that.

yeah i dont like it either.. only close can u appreciate it but from a distance it looks like cheap chromed plastic tho the pics probably dont do it justice.... still i dont like it anyway and agree with atmo_bt1 i cant stand ppl putting tv's and **** in boots... like do something useful with your cash.

ex beamer owner here... i dig the whole idea of having unqiue paint color, the last beamer i had was a deep mauria? purple. but as far as this guys paint job goes.. gh3y. he seems to have been inspired by the M3 CSL... From memory, I dont think Australia allows this color here, glare factor. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
