I can tell just by looking at it that, that's not a BMW. Or at least not a 5 series. The car is way too short, seats are wrong, shape is wrong, headlights are wrong. Maybe a heavily modded 3 series or a riced up japper but definatly not a 5.

If it is a riced up japper, funny how those guyz aspire to be german with a japanese car. Reminds me of this del sol made to look like a Z4.

What difference would it make with the door shut????

Or am i missing something?

And yes, they should stay on lambo's

The way the door crumples and absorbs impact is based on the way it hinges and the way it locks and latches. The structure of the passenger compartment has been modified. The door may tilt up when it it deformed from a frontal collision, jabbing you in the head or something -- who knows what "impact" these changes would have without extensive crash testing? Also the side impact geometry is changed, and the efficiency of the side curtains and side airbags may also be changed.

For example, on an angled impact, the door might slip inside the compartment..and sheer you wide open. Then fall off...and throw what remains of you..onto the highway.

While the car is still rolling, of course.

Makes for great 'Cops' chase video. Maybe Geraldo can do the voice over.
