So many incredible entries this round! And it's so hard to choose
And I must say, I have a massive dilemma for the top three.
10pts - Cop - After much deliberation, this one came out on top for me. Yes, it's errors, but the overall transformation and quality is simply insane! The attention to detail, and the styling of the chop is, as usual, world class. So simple, yet it looks so much better. Coupled with those extremely difficult tree reflections, this becomes a winner. And somehow, they add to the chop, and aren't really a distraction, they just seem to bring it to life. Well done!
9pts - rc82 workchop - You just beat sam to this one! Although it shares a lot in common with the base, it just seems that bit more agressive, with those older headlights and those deep wheels. And in a way, it summarises what makes some of the best chops, using what the base provides you, and showing that you don't need a full brush to make it awesome. And the fact that I can't fault it proves this.
8pts - samvesters - So close! So close! Much as I love the shiny paint, and the effort put in, just feel that it's perhaps a tiny bit distracting from the car. A few areas, as you know, also feel a bit rushed, and the wheels aren't 100% to my styling preferences. But the overall details and quality of that paint... it's simply stunning, and a chop to be proud of!!
7pts - MeanMachines - one of the surprise entries of this round! You've captured the agressive styling of the M5, and added your own unique twist. The atmosphere and that gorgeous rebrushed paint is what makes this so impressive for me. It's just delicious! And although it has several parts of M3 origin, it still looks very much like an E39. So overall, a stunning chop, deserving of the points! Good luck!
6pts - Walla - Clean and simple, so much so that it's perhaps a little too clean, and lacks the atmosphere of the two entries I've ranked above you. Having said that, it does look brilliant! The quality of the brushing is top notch, and those wheels are totally badass. But I just feel it needs that extra something... still a great chop, well done!
5pts - Asoares - Love the ideas! And as with all of the above, the clean simple design is what makes it look so good. Add to this the overall brush quality, and effort in every part of the chop including the bg, and we have a very good chop! Just a few inconsitancy's in the paint that look a bit strange with this lighting, and the slightly toony areas in the bg seem to let it down. Very nice chop though!
4pts - Matt_k - wow! That looks so mean and agressive!! The deep rims, the touring conversion and that stance! Simply awesome. The new paint reflections look really sweet too, and it's an overall well rounded chop. I just feel that the bg selection lets it down, as it lacks the bright sunset lighting of the car, which I think kind of spoils it. None the less - very cool chop, well done!
3pts - rich -Really liking the subtel styling changes, and the overall atmosphere, especially that bg, however the colour and windscreem jsut seem a bit fake. With a bit more effort this could have been so much mroe epic. Having said that, it doesn't take away from the overall styling genious, one of the few entries a feel, that have nailed that rear arch shape. Really nicely done - good luck
2pts - TK Tuning - The orange/black colour combo is epic! Not only that, but the design is really very different from anything else we've seen this round, but perhaps it's not quite M5 enough. As you know, the door handles let it down, and the paint colour and tone seems to be inconsistant, but overall, a very nice looking car - very agressive, and I like it
1pt - Tomica - In any other round, this would have been right up there with the best, but there were just so many epic entries this round! The paint is delicious, and the atmosphere is great too, without too much distraction from the car. The wheels let it down massively though, as they're much too small, and make the proportions look completely wrong. Their day time reflections don't really make sense either, and for me, totally ruin the good work throughout the rest of the chop. Very good effort though!

Highly Commended
Rookijeno - soo close to being in my top 10, but I'm afraid it was just a little too toony with some low quality parts in places. But overall very nice effort and a cool chop
Venom - dat stance
! Love it dude! I just feel there was too little changed from the base, and was slightly outclasssed by the other entries. Very nice chop though!
noise24 - very close to making my top 10 actually, but it just seemed to lack quality in some places. That bad boy bonnet just kills it for me too
Noxious - You've improved a lot with your brushing recently, and this chop is no exception. Just not too much of a fan of those rims on this car, and very strong competition - well done though
stedesign - my! This was a breath of fresh air, and really stood out to me. Unfortunately it just looks too much like an M3, and the front bumper design doens't really fit with the lines of the car. Good effort!
Intro - this looks cool actually, and the c+p paint has been done well, it's just the reflections look very fake in places because they don't match up, like the windscreen and those lights.
R-Creations - the overall styling and atmosphere is great! It just lacks a bit of quality in areas, and is perhaps a bit too dark. Headlights are off too, but overall not a bad chop at all
Zykotec - certainly the most imaginative of the round!! Just lacked the refinement to make the top 10, and wasn't personally the biggest fan of the design, but I admire your effort!

Well done to all that entered! Some very good chops this round - you should all be proud, even those that I haven't mentioned! Good luck to all
