maybe the M5 was in an accident, and since it's salvaged... they made it a project out of it?
btw, in the first picture, what car is that in the background (far back)?

^its a Ford Mondeo.... sadly not available over here. I guess its more acceptable if it was in a wreck or something, but if that was a mint M5 and they just got bored and needed a pickup....

Must have been done by them crazy Europeans! No idea where that license plate is from.... but they smoke some good shit over there. What was wrong with the E39 M5 in the first place?

Its from the land down under. They love their "utes" down there.

This car is quite old. They've been building this thing for awhile.

I bet it was a salvage car so they re-did it with a little twist. I like it, its pretty unique and I bet its faster now. The best looking m5 too
