Strangely enough...I think it's kinda cool. The idea is original and it looks like a blast to drive.

I like it. Well-designed and in good taste (nothing flashy).

umm, no.
the entire point of this particular car is that they paid utmost attention to the chassis dynamics and vehicle stiffness. supposedly it drives exactly like a normal M5

I'm all for "to each his own" - but that is quite possibly the most ridiculous waste of a perfectly good car I have ever seen.
Apparently he has more money than sense.
