Hey Guys

I was looking for some parts on EBay and ran across this insane add.

Somebody went a bit over the top check out the photos.

Holy cow. I like carbon fiber accents but this is just way too much. I kinda like that steering wheel, it's nice and chunky. Wheels are on point, everything else I'm not sure about. Engine mods looks like DOS intake (maybe), OCC, Silicone intercooler tubing, turbo heatshield, aluminum foil on the ECU

I looked up the spec using BMWVIN and I thought it was really strange that the car came with lounge championship red leather seats but these look like standard leatherette seats. Another move to add lightness to the car (obviously the reason why he added all the CF accents, I'm sure)?

 

Ha. Way overboard.
Man all the time and money put into
the mods and selling for $20k.
Ouch. Not to mention it's so customized now
good luck selling it.

 

It may have been a show car at SEMA a few years ago.

It doesn't mean somebody would buy it for 20K. The seller is testing the market and I don't feel it is attractive. I don't either feel It has so much carbon fiber parts on it but a lot of wraps to keep the cost down.
