There is a good reason the E60 doesn't come with lambo doors - a) lambo doors just look silly on a 4dr - you would have to have both sets opening, and the back ones would have to open the other way to look good, and not block the front access - much modification of door panel to make it open the other way, and b) you will allmost definatly void your waranty - and i wouldnt be surprised if insurance would have something to say about it.

Here's an E60 (Japan) with 'Lambo' style doors...? ?

Anyways, I wouldn't do it!
I would only MAYBE think about doing it on the 6er or the M6, but NEVER on a 4 door sedan!
IMHO it looks stupid, like a "wannabe"...

Just the name "Lambo doors" says poser to me--sorry. :thumbsdown:
Scissor doors are over-the-top on any car IMHO, but I suppose you can accept them on an over-the-top car like a Lambo (or on the SLR, which seems to be a car more for appearance than performance
)...and even the "baby" Lambo (Gallardo) doesn't have them.

you'll probably hit the ceiling of most parking structures since they open so high
