I saw this in somewhere (not saying where to protect the innocent)...



Thought it might be entertaining...

Hey, at least you copied the text and pics over rather than just posting the link. Otherwise it would have been even more useless in 1 week.

Nice wheels...or hub caps?
What do they mean "salvage title due to spark plug issue"?
Dude seriously...Z3's are cheap. Why waste the amount of money it takes to make a Miata look like one when you can just buy one? That's like trying to make an escort look like a mustang...just go buy a mustang.

Obviously the spark plug was out of the cylinder, but still plugged into the plug wire, and he tried to start the car and the spark jumped to the fuel rail and started a fire. duh.

It's not like the Z3 is a beautiful, rare, or otherwise worthy car of copying. So that makes the conversion even more retarded. Hey look! I made my 23 year old $3000 car look like a 18 year old $5000 car! That looks worse!

While I certainly can't understand why the hell someone would do that, I'm impressed with how well they pulled it off. It had to take considerable time, effort, money, and skill to put something like this together.

What aggravates me more than this ugly but well executed "BMW body kit," is the fact that no one takes the time to vacuum their damn car before they put for sale pics up.
