Talk me out of this: BMW Custom $38,000...

AutoTrader Classics - 2000 BMW Custom Convertible Gold 6 Cylinder Automatic 2 wheel drive | Hot Rods & Customs | arcadia, IN

DESCRIPTION
Custom built exotic. Built out of a 1988 BMW 325i in the year 2000. This car drives as nice as it looks. All of the normal BMW amenities plus more. You can set the alarm and leave the top down if you wish ( alarm will allow people to stand next to the car but they can't reach in ). The trunk has a false floor that hides a built-in cooler. Gold spoke knock-off wheels. Nice stereo system with booster. BMW's onboard computer gives a wealth of information. Gas mileage usually averages 20mpg. This car is a head turner! I have had several nice cars but this one seems to appeal to all ages! Every drive you take will put a smile on your face!

"This car drives as nice as it looks." So, it doesn't run?

"The trunk has a false floor that hides a built-in cooler." Well, that's something, I suppose.

"This car is a head turner!" I have no doubt of that.

"Every drive you take will put a smile on your face!" Only if you're insane.

It needs a propeller. Somewhere. I don't care where.

I don't care for the result, but it appears to be nicely done.

It might be okay for you but for me it is way over the top. I see it and I think James Bond movies. For that kind of money I could find better ways of spending it.

Weird. The car is craptacular in design, but like mossguy says, the level of craftsmanship seems to be pretty high. One man's vision....

It should have been left as a 325i! Probably sell well in the Middle East....
