The very purpose of tuning is to make your car a bit more personal, make it stand out in a crowd.

And while there is nothing wrong with that, there are a few out there that don’t really get it that standing out isn’t enough, as the build should also try to look good.

Chinese owners have proven over and over that they concentrate too much on standing out and forget about looks. And that’s why most absurd tuning projects out there seem to come from the Asian country. This recent purple E90 BMW 3 Series makes no exception.

And if the shame of draping the Bimmer in such a controversial color isn’t enough, the owner also decided it had to be a matte. So what he has now is not only a BMW that looks like he wants to cower under a bed and cry, but also one that is hard to maintain. At this point, I can only think of a single paint job worse than this, namely this BMW Z4.
