Man makes me wish I was the genius to be the first person to make the car look lie utter shit and get a huge following with virtually zero money invested. Then I would have sold that bitch.

Some paint stripping chemicals, a hammer, some zip ties, some spray paint, or hell, house paint, get a shitload of "admirers" and sell it for $14,000 then laugh my ass off that everyone thought it was tight as hell. Won't work now, it's not new anymore, but man, to be the first to ruin a modern European car was smart.

That being said the people who did fall into liking it for w/e reason, I don't understand. The car looked absolutely awful. The sleeperness makes me want to love it, but the way it makes the guy in the driver's seat look cheap and non-prioritized (ballin ass rims on a totalled car) just ruin the appeal. To me it looks like the king of all lazy and cheap shortcuts all performed on one car, which belittles the owner, even if it's not true.

you do realize that the car was totaled before he rusted the whole thing out right? it wasn't mike just waking up one morning and saying "well fuck my beautiful e28, i'm going to take off the perfect paint and just rust the whole bitch"

Now the fun part about this car, at least to me, was watching the bimmerforums.com group go from loving it, to hating it being all black and slammed, to then hating mike even more for the rusted hood, to it getting totaled and mike rusting the whole thing out to seemingly only piss off the haters on bf.c some more. I'm sure that wasn't the full reason behind it, but thats at least a reason that someone watching the whole thing go down on bf.c could take it.

I know. I'm just saying it was genius to further take the car to a whole 'nother level of ruined.

The credit should be given to the haters as much as the artist because that's what inspired it. I preferred it's original look the most but after it was totaled it's "no holds barred" and more and more people either hated it or loved it with each modification. Then the snowball effect kicked in and it blew up like Anna Nicole Smith.
