    Nice arse, I like that a lot. If I was lucky enough to have one I'd whip that badge off sharpish.

    Apologies for the slightly ropey photoshop but does that not look smarter?

    That does look very very smart. Totally unobtainable for us mere mortals of course, but very smart.
    Expect to be seen on the local premier league football club car park in the near future.

    That's the nicest BMW I've seen in a while, very very nice. Would you buy one over a 911 Turbo though?

    I like it
    But I would... but you just need to be in a position to forget about depreciation...
    A few of the American guys on the 6 post forum have orders ( interest ) already in...
    Unfortunately I’m not in that position...

    Awesome. Truly awesome.

    Truly to expensive though.
    I'm not really sure where BMW get there prices from for M cars, particularly M5 and M8.
    Whilst they are great cars, they are not a Porsche, and even a plastic Tesla 3 leaves an M3 :(

    In real terms it's way cheaper than the E31 850CSi was.

    Wasn't it Rallye Green which I selected on my M5 build option?
    I wonder how much of the Tesla's range that drag race would have used up?

    Lovely looking car. Something very special about a Porsche Turbo, so we will see if the M8 can rival it in desirability. I think the residuals will be lower , but no doubt as able and quick as the 992 4S
