    Bimmer batmobile or batmobimmer?

    Not sure if I love it or hate it. I think I am leaning towards that latter. Don't get me wrong, it looks to be very nicely done. Just thought I would share and get other people opinions. And no, I am not on the market or selling this one...

    Wonder if owner lurking here...

    Honestly, the fact that no one has scooped this up already bothers me immensely. Guys, just tell your significant others after you pull the trigger - there's no need to waste time asking for permission when they're obviously going to say "yes, I will leave you if you do not buy that. Buy it now."

    That has been for sale for as long as I can remember. I don't think it'd move quickly at 1/3 the price. Lose all the red and the scissor doors, it might be a pretty sweet ride. I'm guessing the red is paint though, with the claim of $30k spent.

    Hey, this is your chance to see what a $415,000 paint job looks like! (read the ebay description).

    In his/her defense, the car does seem to be an advertisement for a martial arts company, so they probably wanted to attract attention... company car? Without the red highlights and yin yang stuff it would probably be pretty sweet.

    Honey, we can't hardly buy milk, and you SAID you'd sell your car.

    I'm trying. I don't understand why it won't sell.

    (I have a pilot friend who tells his wife he's trying to sell his plane - market must be soft. Plane for sell - wife (kinda) happy. Still flies plane - husband happy. Win win.)

    As far as we know he probably started those. I mean, that ride is "on fire"... but I have to agree that without all the red, it would be a sweeter ride. Doors, I dig...

    LOL I said I dig. I didn't say I want do this on my own car. I didn't get the car to install bling-bling on it and much rather invest same $$$$ into better suspension or brakes.
