Sadly however this just shows that in order to get a real and great driving M5, you have to pony up for a special edition that's limited availability and costs $150k. This should be how the regular M5 drives.

What I've read and heard from salesmen is that the 4-ways are more comfortable because they're all padding whereas the 18-ways are thin padding over air bladders. As a result the 18-ways feel marginally harder.

60-90 days for a German-built BMW into the US? That's shorter than what Germans have to wait for, on average, it's currently three to four months for an G8x in DE. Only the Munich plant is at full tilt; Regensburg, Dingolfing, Leipzig are on one-shift schedules and on particular days in the week, too. Heard harman/kardon on lesser G2Xs is unavailable till September, with things like ACC, comfort access, wireless charging and even lumbar support on non-M Sport seats being restricted as well. I've seen 3ers being delivered to dealers with a scotch tape covering the hole where surround cameras should be. But things change on a daily basis. VW's current lead times in the EU on Touaregs are 7-9 months. And I've heard of upwards of 12 months for base A-class Mercs. G-wagons are apparently unavailable till mid-2023. All is good.

One of the reasons why I didn't order the LWBS is mainly because I want to be able to move in my seat and be a little more freeing. The way LWBS kinda forces you in a certain seating position and restrict you a lot actually bothers me. I am not claustrophobic but also don't like feeling so constrained when driving.

My uncle's G-Wagon was about a 3 to 4 month wait time, which is the usual. He ended up not signing for it the past week because the person he was working with left the dealership and the management want to increase the ADM. He wasn't in a rush or care for needing a car immediately so he just declined it. Maybe the 2022 year has been pushed back further though as his car was actually 2021 model year.

If I had unlimited funds I'd definitely pick one up, and that Porsche like resale value sure does help when selling it, although I think the 550 is more than enough, I'd have no need for a 63, but then again, the G-Wagon has always been about being excessive

AMG G-wagons on steelies are very cool and so are the big Range Rovers on some 22s. Those are the only SUVs I like. OK, third one is the 4.8is E53 X5, but we don't talk about that.

That rear 3/4 profile pic says Range Rover Sport to me, but that front end photo says Constructicon "Long-Haul" Caterpillar 773B dump truck. Maybe it's one of those front ends I'll have to see in person to appreciate.
