Gold BMW M5 in Russia Ups the Ante, Probable Gangster Makes His Mark

We're sorry to break it to all you European footballers with silver-plated SLRs, but chrome is so out! Gold is the new business. Well at least in Russia. We'd love to say it isn't so, but check out this Moscovite's completely gold plated BMW M5 sporting a fat racing stripe down the center.

Check out all the pics at English Russia (where else?!)

It does look pretty impressive we must admit, but we can already hear the "Ahhhhhh, Motherlanddd!!!!" curses from Lada drivers as this probable gangster swoops by them on the road en route to his favorite club late Friday night. (By the way, if you didn't understand the Motherland qoute above, just Google "end of world animation")


What we're waiting for now is some Middle Eastern oil sheik to raise the bar and give this guy a real run for his money. And we don't mean chrome, silver or gold covering, we're talking platinum baby.
