is this the same Russian who did this review and owns a gold e60 m5 ? It wouldn't surprise me if it was.

Am not russian... but i think it has to do with their EGO needing some stroking.... Chrome reflects their own image, and therefore allows for a bigger ego...

.... or maybe that in today's age, to be seen and to become a world celebrity, you need to flash and shock...

"No Fear" is such a slogan from last century.
"Just Do It" is just not enough...

Nowadays, you have to "Get Noticed"!

Aint i right?!

I actually find this quite nice. Should have gone with black or gray exhaust tips. And the wheels need powder coating.

I think you can apply this reasoning to everyone, not just Russians.

I'm from Russia living in LA and I've seen a ton of chromed out monstrosities. Recently saw a Chromed out Aventador with red line outlines around its edges.

Does it have to do with American's EGO needing stroking? No.

The fact is simply that money can't buy taste.

We're just a bit more advanced in fashion). 3-4 years ago there were plenty of matte wrapped cars. Now we're wrapping our cars in chrome . I'm pretty sure BMW will offer similar colors in 3-4 years like they did with matte "frozen" colors now.

Thats the best one yet! (of the "chrome" cars from Russia)

I still like the "frozen" look better though...

It is always like this, people want to do something different, even inferior to the original just to be and look different. Matte, chrome and so on, even if someone does it in sh.t color someone else will like it and when company sees a demand growing they will also offer it. It is a demand matter, everything in the name of profits.

I don't blame the guy it's his taste. If I were a multi-billionaire and wanted to flaunt my wealth, I'd have a $2Million Bugati Veyron coated all over with 1-carat blue diamonds, ha, ha, ha. Tacky but that's what I think I'd do to flaunt my wealth. I'd drive over to where the Occupy Wall Street guys are and toss them several wads of 100-dollar bills!

And when the owner steps out with matching underwear and a cape, it will all come together.

It would look better on a Lambo or something. The M5 looks too tame to carry it off.

def the nicest so far out of all the chrome BMWs to have come out of Russia in the recent years...

however, it needs to be a little more aggresive looking to really pull of such a crazy color...Rims and a slight drop would make the world of a difference for this car IMO.
