We don't know the full story or depth of investigation to this story and probably never will do. Problem here is how many "quality" cars and potential death traps have these rebuilding guys produced in the past and as usual the only reason they do it is because they make big profits as a lot of the parts are procured from dubious means for little or no money. The quality of engineering that goes into these rebuilds/remodelling of vehicles is totally unknown, until sometimes when they are involved in an accident. As already mentioned how much strengthening to accommodate the M3 bits was done to this car as it was down as a 2 litre diesel. Its not just the mechanicals either its the quality of the electrics/wire loom & electronics mods that could be a potential hazard causing a fire or accident particularly in an example like this. We don't know if the police might of uncovered a whole criminal stolen parts/remodelling operation and wanted to make a point, a bit over the top maybe as some people have mentioned but I would rather they did this (its not as if they are it doing every day) than let the parts be recycled as you could then run into all sorts of legal complications.
Again as already mentioned someone may have bought this car in good faith, but at some point the criminal element has come into play.
All just my thoughts, others may disagree but in this day and age there seems to an increase in this sort of thing and as usual there they affect the innocent parties either by having their cars stolen or buying what looks to be a very attractive remodelled car.
