LOL yeah looks bad.. where in VA is this at? I've def not seen that car in the road.
Also, I guess AchtungE60 hasn't seen this post yet. Prepare for an emotional plea for understanding and how you're a sophomoric high schooler who tries to identify with the in crowd for posting a negative opinion on someone else's car.

i like to equate mods and taste for modding to men's fashion. some guys look like total shit and dont even realize it. matter of fact they walk out the house feeling like a million dollars bc they are wearing their favorite outfit....but it still looks like shit. sometimes people put in effort but the results are still shit.
it takes time to observe, understand and learn from others who are better at it than yourself, take what you learn and make it your own.....

1.) Why is part of the trunk painted gray?
2.) The powdercoat (or whatever it is...) on the wheels was terrible...sort of looked like brake dust almost
3.) DUB 5 badge on the rear...seriously???
4.) Painted rear reflectors that are black? Doesn't flow very well IMO
5.) Rear roundel is blue/white, front roundel on the hood is black/white. Ran out of stickers?
6.) Bird shit on the trunk topped it off nicely lol

MY 2004 (and possibly '05 though not sure) came with the black inserts. My '04 545 had those terrible black inserts but I quickly changed them to the red reflectors. BMW then went with the color matched inserts...
From the looks of the ugly 16" wheels in the pictures it is likely an '04. Those wheels were standard on non-sports package equipped '04 525's.

Those are probably the black plastic blanks that came on the car instead of rear reflectors. I bought actual reflectors and threw away the blanks.
