Wow. Apparently Chris Bangle’s son got bored and wanted to figure out how to build onto his father’s popularity with the 5 series. Success. This BMW is covered in HAND CARVED ivory, diamonds and rubies. It took three years. Yes, three years, to make the car this hideous. But it gets better. The car is to be auctioned off, all proceeds will go to Guangzhou Asian Games Organizing Committee to host the 16th Asian Games held in Guangzhou. It is expected to fetch $2,000,000 Euros.
