I held my tongue in your other threads, but since you asked for it here is my actual opinion on your car and why it hasn't gotten the recognition you are so convinced it deserves. First off, most of your posts reek of a need to be accepted/recognized for your car. Why not just enjoy your car and build it for yourself? Your "rare/expensive" carbon fiber goodies look like shit and are out of place on the car. An e60 is a classy car, and the boy racer exposed carbon fiber does not work. The wheels, which you I am assuming, you custom ordered due to the offsets and widths, do not look great on the car. The black faces/lips get "lost" and blend in with the tires. If you went with brushed/polished it would have done wonders for your car. At the end of the day you have bolted on some parts, just relax and enjoy your car. If all you set out to do was get featured, you are in it for the wrong reasons anyways. The cars that get featured are usually because the end result is an appealing car, and not necessarily the sum of the receipts.

If you had gone with a painted hood and trunk, full polish or atleast polished lipped wheels in 19s or maybe even super wide 18s, and slammed it to a dangerous height, you would've easily had a feature car. More than a feature car. It would be all over.
Honestly, the 20s are killing you imo. You can't get near low enough. If you must, at least camber and tuck those vip style.
With that said, you're car is still really really dope.

Normally I don't tear into people like this on the internet, but whatever if I come across like a dick so be it, I don't mean to come across that way, I am merely saying what I believe.
Your car looks completely unfinished, the exposed CF looks stupid on there, it takes the class right out of the E60. The CF parts, are the exact same as their stock counter parts, no where is there a hint of a upgrade other than the tacky exposed CF. Your car isn't THAT low, I mean yes its low, but it looks like a moderate drop on springs, not a serious drop on coils. The black 20" wheels get completely lost in the wheel well, you can't tell where the tire starts, and the wheels begin, you can only barely see that the wheels are even there in many cases. Sure its different, a stanced E60 because these things are still extremely expensive for most people, especially on this site. But really, different doesn't always mean better.
Personally, I think your car needs a lot of changes before its feature worthy (I am sure there are many who disagree with me), but thats just my opinion. The reason you see a lot more of certain cars is because they are cheaper, and have many more aftermarket parts available for them which makes modifying them much easier, and because people have a real love for their cars. They aren't doing it to be E-Famous, they are doing it because its what they love to do. I know plenty amazing cars that will never be featured because they don't want it, not because they aren't worthy. It seems to me that you just want to be able to flaunt how much money you have spent on your car, and get the E-Fame that comes with it.
I am sure that you will disagree with what I have just said, but thats what it appears to me, and those are my true honest feelings about your car. If you want to argue with me about that please send me a PM and we can handle it there, and not clutter this thread with a back and forth debate.- Kielan (Key-lin)

That being said, there are unique cars featured, but you seem to be frustrated for a different reason all together.
This is the only answer needed in this thread. At the end of the day, what you are saying is that you built this car to get peoples recognition. Not to build a car for yourself. If you built it for yourself, then this thread would not exist because you would not care about what other people on the internet thought.
Argue the point all you want, But by you arguing simply enforces the fact you just want to be recognised.

If the people who run those blogs and websites are "into" a certain make and model. Thats their loss or gain. You're not going to change what they like by complaining about it. do you and let the pieces fall where they may.
Seriously, Unless you're building a car FOR your sponsors...who cares?
If you're building it for your sponsors then pick a cookie cutter platform and follow the formula. Ive dropped full sponsors, declined many (wed,mag,tv) offers to "play ball". Im gonna do me and if thats not good enough...fine.
At the end of the day, I love what I do (and what I build) and thats all that matters.

i personally dont give a f*ck how expensive it costs to "stance a car." a dope ass e60 and a dope ass miata both equally deserve to be on the same page. you can agree or disagree, but i could care less how much more "prestigious" a bimmer is compared to a little japanese car.
