Although perhaps taking the e60 a pimp too far, I can't stop thinking about getting this technology somehow built into my 166m wheels. Has anyone seen this kind of stuff on the roads yet? I spend a lot of time on the road, and im pretty sure nothing like this is around the uk yet

Thx GOD not in Europe I like some cars pimped, but never E60! put some LSD doors like 4 then neons reds, red angels come on guys, no offence not the style. This gadget-geek stuff is nice, but for 23" Giovanna and that you cannot fit on a BMW e60.

yeah, attention junkie though I am, I do concede that it's just too pimp for the e60.

I'll have to appease myself by getting the cheap version for my bicycle

I think it's awesome. I wouldn't do it cause it's not at all what I'm looking for, but awesome nonetheless.

I remember years ago that technology was used in CART on Cristiano daMatta's car when he drove for Newman-Haas. Usually it displayed a Toyota logo or some other simiar message.

Obviously the technology has progressed all the way to the ghetto now.

What frightens me most about this is the fact that you can program the messages/display "on the fly" while driving. Can you imagine someone in one of these SUVs with full DUBs using a PC while driving down the road talking on a cell phone, etc.?

Pretty scary...

Yeah, it's cheese on cars, but I think this looks cool for a bicycle:
