Pretty blatant photoshopping.  Look at the red car's front wheel-
what the HELL kind of offset is that?  Where's the engine go? :-)
Now look at the wheel itself.  Doesn't it look like someone just used
the Photoshop pinch tool to move the center of the wheel forward, to
make it look turned in?  The spokes are the wrong shape!  The
headlight assembly also looks pasted in.

Why does the "new" m5 look suspiciously like a 750 with pasted in
dual exhaust and a pasted in fender vent?

Why does the M4 look like a current BMW coupe with the top
chopped(squished, in photoshop)?

Pretty much the dead giveaway is completely inconsistent coloring on
all the bodies...it just looks really wrong.

$20 says in 2006 these aren't the real models. I'll believe it when a
more mainstream magazine picks up on the story- Car, Top Gear,
R&T/C&D, etc.

I fully expect to see Sniff Petrol making fun of these guys next issue :-)
