Cut & Shut an X5?
 

What they are proposing in this Ebay auction can't be legal can it?

To get the best out of a very sad situation I'd be more inclined to remove the near new engine, transmission and electrics and use them to replace those in a flood damaged X5! No cutting and welding required, no messed up driving characteristics.

Yipes! I found myself wanting to cry when looking at the pics of the destroyed X, then thought to myself...Oh my God I need a life!!

If you ever see an X5 driving down the street sideways, it will probably be this X5. I doubt that it nor its occupants will survive a next major crash. It's stupid that two vehicles welded together as one can pass certification, but it's happening everywhere.

I would try to stay away from that.....

Are they kidding... that'll buff right out.

"This can be a great vehicle once it's fully repaired" :confused:

Ouch that hurts just to look it..prolly a bigger pain to fix! sux for the person who will buy that...then they will come on this site and complain about rattles.....

wtf? I wouldnt buy that because the person would be reparing mroe than driving that for the rest of their ownership time.. :thumbup:
