We have seen quite a lot of builds over the year that tried to turn another car into a Bimmer, but never quite managed.

Truth is, a true BMW vehicle is more than just a bunch of body panels, and the real joy of owning one comes from the driving pleasure it gives.

All these things considered, some people still try to convert their rides to a BMW, and the latest involves a Mazda MX-5. The car is quite a good vehicle, so what the owner did to it is beyond awful, even if out of love for all things BMW. Out best guess points towards the MX-5 trying to achieve a Z9 concept look, but something went wrong somewhere along the way.

Even with the well executed front kidney grille and a slapped-on BMW symbol, the build if far from being a good one. More modification were planned for the vehicle, but the owner might have snapped out of the coma and realized what he had done. The next logical step was to try and cut his losses, so he put it on e-bay for sale.
