Sorry if this has been posted already, but I thought that was really neat! :D

Wait, does that ride actually work? Looks nice. Just lose the 'NFS Most wanted sticker'.

I also noticed the colors are reversed. The stripes are blue, and the paintjob is white.

It's not on the wrong side for the people outside of the states.

The steering wheel is on the right side - literally!

This car is listed as being in the UK - we drive on the left and therefore have right hand drive cars (rolls eyes at the ignorami :roll: (and I think maybe I just made that word up))

Have you guys never heard the word "posh" - comes from Port Out Starboard Home, 'cos the "posh" people had carriages and there had to be some rules of the road in that time - originally all traffic drove on the left. This basically means that only the UK, Japan, Australia and some of the old commonwealth countries actually drive on the side of the road as originally intended. :D

Waste of money. Seriously...everything on the car looks and feels so wrong, especially the spoiler. C'mon, I'm pretty sure there are better spoilers out there closer to the real GTR spoiler.

I didn't notice the reversed colors, Toshiro! :o That's interesting how they changed that.

I'm also noticing the widebody is off. Only the wheel-wells stick out. The ledge next to the door shouldn't be there. Also, something with the front bumper is messed up. There is a ledge sticking out too much. The spoiler is wrong, and it's blue instead of gray/black.

I don't get why people have to be so damn negative about everything... It's a special car, and I don't think anyone who buys this will use it for professional racing. The car stands out, it's unique, and that's how it should be... I hope whoever buys it keeps it like it is (I've seen this car in the February 2006 issue of Performance BMW, and one funny detail - which I didn't see mentioned in the auction details - is that the letters BMW in the badge is replaced with NFS) :D

^I agree
Don't know why people are complaining, they did an excellent job, and I actually like the reverse paint job and NFS: MW sticker. I’d say this is better than other MW BMW replicators.

Replicas are supposed to be exact. So this is a car based on the game, not an exact copy.

Get it?

The widebody HAS to be off, because the race version isn't street legal.

The looks don't matter. Performance does.

Make up your mind.

Besides more power does not mean its a better car. I'm sure 340bhp would be more than enough than what most people can handle. I'm just frankly surprised by the price - 33k Pounds. That's bargain basement price.

I'm saying the looks don't count in determining if a car is street legal or not.

Actually it does;for example - if you fit a DTM touring bodykit onto your Audi A4 so it can look impressive barrelling down the highway, you can dream on.

Besides you also mentioned it yourself

It has to be 'wrong'. Think about it, have you ever seen a street legal car with a spoiler like MW's BWM GTR?

Yes, I have. It was a really messed up 350Z.

Mate, what do think are the point of ricers? They want their car to look fast. Now imagine what they'll be able to get their hands on if you could fit anything you wanted on a car. You could throw pedestrian safety out the window then.

Besides, I doubt this 350Z you mentioned would have a GTR style spoiler fitted and still be street legal. Maybe same shape, but different (smaller) dimensions.
