Everyone has seen scissor doors on ricers. Anyone seen them on a 5 series???
The 6 wouldn't look bad with them.

i dont think a four door sedan will look good with scissor doors, but succide doors in the back? that might actually look good.

scissor doors look good on lambos..... i've seen about every combination there is....
scissor doors,
scissor doors on front and suicide doors on back,
scissor doors on front and reverse scissor doors on back,
doors that spin and flip (in dubai, check utube)
doors that open under the car so its like a disappearing door

in my opinion i don't like any of them, unless it comes stock on that car... i dunno why its just a matter of personal taste i guess

EVERY CAR should have scissor doors. Just think ... no more "door dings" from morons who can't park or don't care about their cars!
