World's most neglected BMW M6 spotted in Dubai

This is sick !!!!!!!! How many of you would do this to your beautiful car... By the looks of it, it seems that this car went through a dust storm or something...

"Believe us, if one of us here at eGMCarTech could afford to purchase $101,700 BMW M6, it would be shining bright with tire shine every single day of the year. Any finger prints would be wiped off immediately and we may even ask our significant others to never eat or drink when riding in our first love.

Nonetheless, there are some people in the world that take a vehicle such as the BMW M6 for granted. Spotted in Dubai, the BMW M6 you see in the pictures is probably the most neglected BMW (or most neglected car) in the world.

It seems even after passerbys left “please wash me” and other messages on the car, this owner refuses to head over to a car wash. Let us know what you would write on this M6 in the comments section below."

I guess the owner is having too much fun driving his other CARS. Perhaps a Ferrari, Lambo or similar. Or maybe they have just been busy on Jihad!

Maybe it's out of gas. A fate awaiting the Ferrari, Lambo or similar.

This is a pretty common occurence in Dubai.

What most probably happened here is that an expat either lost his job and had to head home or was moving home permanently.

What quite a few expats do in such a situation is just park the car and leave it - especially if it is financed and they owe more on the car than its worth.

As long as they don't plan on coming back - they will be fine.

Alternatively, it could be that the owner has gone on a vacation for a couple of weeks. 2-3 sandstorms later, thats what any car would look like (I wash my car atleast 1-2 times a week minimum).

I wouldn't say it's a corolla, I'm going with what zetaxi said. look in the background, that's the most expensive car there. the car next to it even has hubcaps, what are the rest of the cars? pintos?

But it was washed just the day before...the sandstorm. As for what I would write on the glass would be: FOR SALE ---CHEAP.

Of course they are super rich.

People laugh at me in my lil 335 over here.

The thing is a tax free (almost) lifestyle allows you to buy such cars.

Bimmers are no big deal here - I mean you do get the occasional look but its no big deal at all.

for example, my offices are located in a huge building and parking lot has a couple of gallardos, rolls royce coupes, 3 ferraris, 4-5 bentley GTs, multiple Porsches, X5s and Lexus (but only 4 e92s - 2 of which are 335s).

But seriously, there are a lot of mid to low end cars here. Its just that the proportionately there are a lot more nice cars than in other countries. So people get the impression that Dubai is full of the super rich. In actuality most people living here make less than $3000 a month.


On closer examination - that location is a housing community called the Jebel ali Gardens - and this is definitely an abandoned car by an expat returning home - or on a long vacation.

This is most probably not a rich guy's car since then the number plates tend to be of 4, 3, 2 or 1 digits. 5 digit number plate - normal. lesser than that and you are rich. in the 3 digits and 2 digits - the plate costs more than the car.

What would it cost for plate, say, 76?

Holy fuck, that's the dirtiest car I have ever seen. The owner should have it taken off his hands. I dont care how rich he is, you dont take care of a $100k car like that.
