    Well, yeah, I sort of like the rear diffuser too, I guess, but it's little removed from the original.

    I reckon if you were a millionaire playboy who insisted on people declaring "SHIT!! LOOK AT THAT!!" instead of "Wow" as you burbled past, you be hard-pressed do much better than a Hamann-molested 599, and millionaire playboys are as entitled to their vehicle of choice, prepared whichever they want it, as any of us, this old Quail reckons. ... Reckon.

    Reckon.

    Hamann-molested, probably the best description...

    In my opinion, the Hamann BMW M5 is a beautiful work of genius (tuning genius). I think Hamann greatly improved the physical appearance of the M5.

    On the other hand, this Ferrari 599 GTB looks like an absolute monstrosity. The stock version is great as it is.

    Hard to split hairs here, but the M5 is more of a blank canvass, both stylistically and (to a much lesser extent) mechanically.

    proof that hamann are tasteless hacks?
    as for the tuner comment, Ruf and nismo seem to do alright, but in the exotic cars category tuners should be redundant

    People can do what they want their cars. When you have your own car, I'm sure that you will do what you want to it.

    There's nothing even remotely sacred about a Ferrari. They can be great cars but for certain the world doesn't stop there.

    they've been embodying the passion about cars for 60 years now, I know they're not sacred or something but it's just ugly.

    Yes but it would be ugly no matter which they would have choosen as a base. The fact that a Ferrari was their choice doesn't make any worse (or better for that matter).

    Then there's discussion if we like the 599 or not, but that's a different kettle of fish.
