i dont get why people are like "this is neato" but GOD FORBID someone glues an M somewhere on 530 and lynch mob comes out!
oh well. i wasnt saying i didnt respect the hard work. when Speed Force said he "builds them" i assumed it was a business rather then a hobby, at which point the whole sweat and blood thing doesnt really fly as these things were being sold for a profit. since they guy built one for himself and some friends, it is a different story. i do really respect that and the statement it is "worth more" (only to the person that built it of course). but really, if i came to that guys house with a brand new murc, and said, i will trade you the rep for the real thing, he wouldnt even think about grabbing the keys out of hand
But at the end of the day, it is still a pontiac fiero, and the M lynch mob has to agree with me, otherwise they are all just hypocritical.

My Ride: 2006 525XI, Jet black on Dakota beige. Premium and winter packages. I consider myself a purist and intend to keep my car absolutely stock and shiny.
2008 328I Convertible, Sapphire black on beige interior. Premium package, NAV, iPod adapter.
Retired: 2002 325I, Titanium silver on black leather. Premium package. Absolutely stock and proud of it.
That's great. How do they get rid of the smell of burnt rice?

Building a replica is a totally different story than slapping an M badge on a 530i on so many levels. I guess someone forgot to teach you that COST and WORTH are two entirely different things.

Craig, I don't agree. Like someone else said, you just don't get it. That's fine. I do however hope that you can appreciate that someone who truly loves an automobile and spends countless hours constructing one is to be viewed in a very different perspective than the guy with the M5 badge. I seriously doubt the replica builder is trying to fool anyone. On the contrary, he's probably the first to admit, and proudly, that he built it from scratch. Isn't that enough? If Mr. M5 badge can take a Fiero (or whatever) and completely build something from the ground up that resembles an M5 and he proudly displays it at car shows as an homage to a great car, then he, too, would have my respect. And no, this is not the same as buying a fake purse. If you knew the passion some of these builders have, you wouldn't even suggest it's the same. If that makes me a hypocrite in your eyes, then so be it.

I insulted you? I was sorta just trying to say... DON'T ASSUME ANYTHING, READ and THINK before you post unintelligent comments. I apologize if I came off as insulting you. Toughen up kid
No matter how much I disagree with someone, I respect their opinion. I may argue my point, but I am not going to tell them they lack intelligence.
and again, "peice of art" is completely subjective.
