Ick.
I think this is more of a wheel fitment problem than a box flare problem...it has way more flare than it should for where the wheels are.
It just seems wrong, something about the proportions of the 7 series do not lend themselves (in my mind, anyway), to box flares. But yeah, it needs something with a lot of dish to fill up those flares.
Needs more coke era hammer wheels, and a DTM spoiler. Still rocks box flares like a boss.
The panel fitment and flat black paint don't do it any favors. With a decent install, a paint job and the right wheels/tires it could work.
I'd drive that.
Who convinced the GM that it should be parked inside the showroom? Especially when there's a clean WRX and a Gallardo in close proximity? It really cheapens the showroom. Something about that place leaves a bad taste in my mouth.
I don't think the flares are terrible, but the wheels are definitely wrong. A halfway decent paint job would work wonders, I think.
In reply to thewheelman:
There are a few dozen things wrong with that pile. I, too, am surprised it's in the showroom.
I'd drive it but not for that money.
In reply to tuna55:
I'm not. Prestige is right down the street with me (not that showroom, but another). Practically everything they sell is a polished turd.

Directly to the body shop?

x2. or some deep dish gold mesh wheels. and shiny paint. the big killer on that car is the flat black. the flares are so cool you just can't comprehend the awesome.

Paint it bright white and add Testarossa grills to the flares it'll be perfect.
Bring the flares back into the bumper a little bit more to square off the stance, chuck a DTM wing on it (or maybe two DTM wings) and then throw a bucket of strakes and NACA ducts at it and we're good to go.
The chrome should be gold plated too. I wouldn't buy my coke from someone that didn't have gold trim.
The first thought in my head upon seeing that pic was "Ooof - not good". 
80's coke-head wheels will not change that, nor will shiny paint.
That thing is just fugly with those flares on it.
+1 for big DTM wing... really big.

There is not one car I've seen on their lot that I'd consider clean, and I've seen the Lambo..
