+1. That is what I have heard too from my other sources within BMW. But now I keep hearing it will have three turbos. Engine code is S55 since it is based off of the N55 motor. 420 and 450hp. Lot of carbon fiber use in the "heavy" parts of the car.

INSANE

Yup! Now granted that 167K Euro price does include the German 19% sales tax (VAT), but still that is much more than in the states. Then you figure in that fuel costs $9 gallon and the cars get taxed yearly( and it always goes up and up) you can see why owning a car IS a privileged over here.
