The BMW Z4 Dragon Car

Many BMW fans will likely be horrified by the customised 'paint job' that this Z4 has endured. But a rare few may actually love it. At the very least it's difficult not to appreciate the amount of work that has gone into this dragon auto-job.

But effort is no guarantee of achievement, and its questionable whether anyone would genuinely be seen in this vehicle. Or whether it could still get anywhere near the Z4's usual top speed of 156mph.

It might be eye-catching, but whether or not the vehicle performs well is another question, given the excess weight from the bone, and resistance from the design.

The unique design was on display last week at the China Import and Export Fair, in the southern Guangdong province.

It's not known if this model was for sale - and if so, if it sold - but it certainly stood out from the crowd.
