So for an extra $10-15k you get what? The same motor as any other E9x M3, a slightly different suspension, and a Hot Rod Magazine "dry lakes special" rattle-can paintjob? That flat thing has been done to death in the magazines, and its not as cool as people make it out to be. On a '49 Merc, sure, but coming from the factory like that? BMW has come out with some stunning colors over the years but I guess they just ran out of ideas. I lol'd when I saw that "special care guidelines are provided to customers and authorized BMW centers to prevent the finish from becoming glossy."
The interior is nice, except for the cliche carbon fiber and the 1980's Jensen-style speaker grilles. And the contrast stitching doesn't look as good without a blue thread running through with the red. Kind of reminds me of the black- or red-accented Roundels people put on their cars. Neat for a few seconds, but then I'm left wondering "why?"
Overall, this car looks like it should have the decklid replaced with a couple of huge fuel tanks, put in a kiddie seat to hold your Australian Blue Heeler, and don't forget some Dinky-Di dog food and lots of shells for your sawed-off double barrel coach gun. Leather jacket is not included. And, watch out for Wez and the Humongus.
