well i don't know if you should say that. that seems to be the way people in europe mod their cars. honestly it's about what they are into at the moment. chrome, altezza lights, weird colors. that's their culture, power to them. not even close to my taste that's for sure, but i wouldn't go hard on them.

heck if you think the other way, maybe they think we are bunch of boring people putting like nothing on the car. and maybe they think japanese people are stupid for slamming the car to the ground.

now if i see those cars here in the US

wow. That purple one is disgusting. I can't believe someone would have the money to just destroy a bimmer like that, but hey, to each their own.

I'm never one to put down other peoples creations as many of those mods looks like hard work, but many of those same mods on say a Honda and everyone calls them rice for some reason. What's the difference?

Default bimmer rice

The guy who posted that thread, pmmeke, his car was sooo sweet....then he went and changed it to the current two-tone wide body look. I thought it was much better before but he explained that in Europe, the current thing is to be expressive, creative and different. I applaud him because he wasn't offended when I said I preferred his previous look. But that's all I said cause it's his thing. He has to drive the car, not me...thankfully. Besides, his is not that bad, a different green tone may have changed the entire effect.
No comment on the other cars.

uhhmm people you are missing one thing, in Europe bmw, mb, .... are REGULAR cars, nothing more nothing less. only in US this cars have the ilusion of "$$class$$"... in reality they see 3-series and C-class just like we l see an Accord or Maxima...... E-class MB is a taxy in most Europe, when in US people slap MD plats on them and think they made it. what a joke. 30-40% of the markup is import tax, shipping, and ajustments to pass all US automotive Laws.

well i now know i'd NEVER make it modding my car in europe. but they just have a differnet way of thinking i guess... the good thing about that thread is, no matter where you are there are people modding their cars to be different than the rest. some just more than others.

keep on moddin

i like that first green and tan one. I never thought that a two tone would look good, but that car looks sweet. I especially like the interior. Very clean, and very nice. The rest kinda sucked. Whats with that E36 Pick up truck with not one remaining part from a BMW?

I like the first one (two tone)

The rest are pretty bad.
