2012 BMW 5-Series M Sport Goes Chrome Green : Hulk Mania


Vinyl wraps can be had in all sorts of colors and designs, but while the majority of drivers usually select normal colors in metallic or matte shades, some owners gravitate towards extreme solutions.

And what could be more extreme than a chrome green wrap around a 2012 BMW 5-Series F10 sports saloon?

The car you see pictured here was created in Russia by applying a chrome vinyl wrap at first and then a translucent green wrap on top to create the flashy green chrome effect. And if you're wondering, the owner ordered the saloon in an Alpine White finish.

We're told that aside from the change in color, the 5er also sports additional parts from BMW's own M Sport Package program as well as from independent tuners Hamann Motorsport and AC Schnitzer.

Video: In Russia, Demonstrating Against Illegally Parked Cars May get you Killed…



Organized activism is never easy, even more so if you have to deal with gun-carrying civilians. In the video you're about to watch, a Russian activist group called "Стоп-хам" (Stop-Xam) decided to take action against illegally parked cars on Petrovka street in Moscow (if our translation is correct, that is), by placing large stickers on the vehicles' windshields.

An owner, or perhaps simply a driver of one of those cars - a silver-colored Toyota Camry, objected to the activists' move and sure enough, a brawl erupted. The young driver of the Camry punched one of the activists and when the rest came to his help, he pulled out a gun.

Fortunately, the activists were able to disable him and take away his the pistol before someone really got hurt.

While we obviously condemn illegal parking, taking the law into your own hands and trying to enforce a punishment – even if it's a simple windshield sticker- isn't something we approve of either as the point here is to bring some attention to the matter, nothing more, nothing less.

Video: Russian Girls Just Wanna Have Fun...in the Car [NSFW]


Though we like to assume that we're fairly open when it comes to music, we must admit that we've never had the chance to look [pun intended] at the lovely voices of the trio of girls that form the Russian pop group Serebar - or if we did, we never knew it was them, in which case, shame on us.

But thanks to an extremely educating video of what not to do while traveling in the car, we were obligated to share this new music clip of Elena Temnikova, Olga Seryabkina and Anastasia Karpova – or at least that's the name of the singers listed on the all-knowing Wikipedia.

Before you open the video to watch the daily struggles of young Russian women traveling on the road, beware; the clip is not suitable for work.

One Lucky Dashing Dare : Video



It's hard to realize that a single moment, just a split second in time, can change or even worse, terminate your life. One of these rare moments almost occurred to the passengers of a car in Russia that was equipped with a dashboard-mounted camera that caught the entire act on film.

While driving on a two-lane highway that was gradually merging into one lane, a large rig on the left hand side of the road and a passenger car on the right hand side, were caught in a life-threatening situation.

We not sure what took place before, but it seems that the truck should have slowed down while the car should have speed up to avoid getting in this position in the first place.

The truck eventually moved towards the car, nudged it in a very PIT-like maneuver, and as a result, sent it swirling to the opposite side of the road. Luckily for the passengers of the car, the oncoming truck was at a safe distance and was able to slow down before the inevitable came into fruition.

Watch the incident unfold in the video clip below.
