They say imitation is the best form of flattery, but honestly, this kind of thing just really grinds my gears!

The weird thing is that the parts look genuine, so someone has really, really wanted their 435D to look like a D4 to fork out £4k for a set of 20" Classics!
If I had the money floating around, I'd be sorely tempted to buy it and immediately crush it!

Looks better from the front than the back and although a good attempt with nice wheels, still a bit naff. Probably a good car overall.

Re: BMW 435D "Alpina"
Started off with the correct base car, genuine looking front splitter, genuine looking wheels, quad pipes, Alpina roundel on the steering wheel and centre caps but BMW badges on boot lid and bonnet.
So it really jars when I see what looks like a “biturbo” badge from an AMG Merc at the back.

BMW roundels on the bonnet and boot are correct but the BiTurbo badge is nowhere near original.
