That being said, they should not have spun the reveal of this ostentatious SEMA show car as being akin to a factory "special edition" effort. They shamelessly piggybacked off of last year's "30 Jahre M3" which was a much more tasteful build (if still a bit too loud on the interior for my liking). It's just feels like "coat tails" approach and in the process, comes off as even more tacky than the tri-color leather interior. The nail in the coffin is the immediate announcement that this oh-so special car is up for grabs for a princely sum. I just don't see this as a positive piece of promotional work for BMW NA, and based on the reaction we are seeing, I don't think the public generally will either. That said, I do think that they'll find more than one person who is interested in purchasing this car, so more power to them on that, I suppose. |

It’s the rear seats that really kill it for me. The initial side bolster in red is just too much, should have been white or blue. The front seats, meh, I get it, at least it put together better. And I hate the translucent tape on the roof, weave or nothing.

On the "Team America" theme, this needs a custom license plate: FCKYEAH If someone buys it and does that, all will be forgiven.

Somewhere in germany there are a group of car designers laughing their ass off and placing bets to see if some American will actually buy this thing.
This whole design started as a bet - guaranteed. |

123 comments of whining for a 1/1 one car that you'll probably never see in person unless you're at SEMA or know the guy who ends up buying it.
It is what it is, I guess.

Lol the muffler still has the previous M Performance logo with the generic font, instead of the new bold + italic + capital lettering that's been implemented for sime time already Unless a few parts like this or the passenger side trim aren't evolving?

I just want to make sure that's correct. If so, then please re-read every post in the thread until the proper affect (No, not effect, see Webster additional definitions ) sinks in. |

I don't want to pile on...
...but will anyway: Blech. I do like the wheels, though.
