  3. HUSABOB says:

  4. impsonsay says:

    I’m actually impressed.. I’ve never seen someone Kludge a Beemer before.

  5. Paddy says:

    Idiot! Total idiot! You just had to have those fat rims and tires on your BMW, nevermind clearance or offset!

  6. steven says:

    If the wheel doesn’t fit, you must acquit…

  7. Mightyoaks says:

    damn used autobot car. i said transform!

  8. 0tacon says:

    Begginer/teenager driver’s car. Those “tooths” biting the tire just avoids speeding over 50mph.

  9. Bruce says:

    The guy designed it as a big saw blade for side-swiping jay-walking pedestrians – that’ll teach them for crossing on the “Don’t Walk” against traffic…

    Don’t worry – I hear tonight he’s going to apply fifty layers of Duct Tape. Fix it up good.

  10. Wolfen says:

    Just enough money to buy a Beemer, but not enough to bring it to a mechanic.

  11. Gspusi says:

    I´m from Germany. Bavaria exactly – the home of BMW. An the only thing i could say: in my home thisone would be crucified…

    Terrible!

  12. Gargomon says:

    Police officer: “I’m sorry. I’m defecting your car. It simply does not meet the cut.

  13. tnthudson says:

    “What happens when low riders get too low”

  14. saintknowitall says:

    let’s see, $1,000 for new tires and rims or $2,000 worth of body damage…. Can’t decide….

  15. Andreas L says:

    If I were the owner, I’d strongly try not to place a truck on top of it.

  16. Imer says:

    My friend owns a Beemer. He is now trying to strangulate my screen after seeing this…

  17. dono1 says:

    Accident? Nah…just a little fender-bender.

  18. Foxie says:

    Because researching wheel & tire fitments before buying, is, well, hard. As, apparently, is properly rolling your fenders. Who’d have thought it….

  19. Chipmunk says:

    and that is why you should never let the mother-in-law sit in the back of your car.

  20. RusFixer says:

    OMG, why do people make cars suffer such violent tortures?

  21. popa says:

    it’s a low rider

    low and slow …..

  22. Susan K says:

    Gee, I read the headline as “Cat Orthodontics Aren’t Cheap”.

  23. Daniel says:

    Fast and Ben Hurious.

  24. mumpf says:

    *Bites appreciative in the desk* This picture makes a german cry :cry:

  25. one small step says:

    BMW = Been Made Worse!

  26. Dave says:

    It’s just broke. It ain’t a kludge.

  27. Leo Lichtman says:

    Give the guy a break. He’s inside buying a big can of Bondo.

  28. Jim-Bob says:

    Needs some Bondo, a MIG Welder, chicken wire and flat black spray paint.

  29. The guy bought those wheels on purpose. The fenders were cut in preparation for body work. There is a trend in Europe and Japan that is to run very low offset wheels with a very deep dish and then flare the fender accordingly.

    My guess is that the next step would be for the fender to be fiberglassed/bondo’d and then painted to match the car. It would end up looking really good.

  30. erkkilaron says:

    You know a little bondo and some sanding that could look factory.

  31. Carackas says:

    next time buy a bigger car…

  32. Kent T says:

    Hey, my uncle Guido or my cousin Vinny will make that look factory and get it for ya wholesale!

  33. TheAntiCat says:

    Who took a cheese grater to my car?

  34. PM says:

    Me thinks it’s just not ready yet. It’s a work in progress.

    Next you cut off the excess, weld it back together, fit a new flare and it’ll come out jut fine. That’s how those wide flares are made. I mean, I hope that’s what he’s going to do too…

  35. Henkka says:

    As someone mentioned, that is likely a photo of work in progress.
    Once the cut parts are bent to the desired shape there will be sheetmetal welded to the gaps and the whole thing covered with typically fiberglass or bondo.
    This creates a very nice looking smooth flared custom fender.
    There’s a lot of this kind of custom flare building going on here in Europe.

  36. Majarvis says:

    If you have a car that has leaf springs, you have bigger problems than this guy…

  37. Majarvis says:

    Durrrrrrrrrrrrrrr……………

  38. rick simmons says:

    oh come on, a 50 dollar used strut off a junker and a bit of elbow grease later can hav that fixed properly

  39. Dopefish says:
