Good job on the look, is it almost finished?? love the trunk!.............but I have to say the most important thing from having an M5 is the engine for me, Even if It had that perfect look I wouldnt be satisfied.

You could always loan it out to the 'Fast & Furious' franchise. They don't give a shit about using fake m5's.

Reference:

They used a 545i that they modified to appear as an M5-seemingly to save money?
