Man oh man those exhaust pipes.

When the ISF came out the M guys trashed the up and down offset exhaust pipes so hard. Now here we are with an M3 that literally looks more like a new version of that ISF than an M car.

I hope the Blackwing saves me from the sports sedan hell we are living in today.
I have a feeling The Blackwing is going to be a big hit!

I honestly feel like BMW M is going to become the laughingstock in the automotive circles after this. Well, only the G8X.

A good thing we have in Canada is that it is illegal for a dealer to sell above MSRP. It can be challenging to get an allocation, you likely wont get much of discount if at all, but at least you know you wont pay above MSRP.

BMW isn't making it too difficult for Audi and Benz to poke fun at them at this point.

Regardless of performance, no one will ignore the fact that the G8x M cars look like... that.

That is very nice. Wish it was the case for US lol.

It would make a lot of Porsche cars more affordable. Funny thing here in SoCal is. The new G-Wagon are STILL being marked up, sometimes up to 50k.

How do I know? I was with my uncle when he was shopping for one. It was a given the g-wagon has a hard markup that you cannot avoid.

The funny thing is it's like a VAT for the wealthy which is exactly how VAT works. Have more money, spend more, get taxed more.

Yup... hate it.

I don't get the hype for the G-Wagon though. I sat in the old and new one. It kind of creeps me out the way the car tilts when it turns. Especially since it's a box on wheels I cannot get past that. It wasn't even going that fast too. Normal, local road here in LA. It still tilts when it turns.

But that sounds like SOCIALISM!!!!

[To be fair, I also have a rule that I walk out of any dealership that tries to sell me a car over MSRP]

Back when BMW used to make cars worth my money I went to United BMW here in GA. One of the initial reasons was they are part of Penske which is a national dealer chain that will not charge over MSRP.

I wouldn't ever pay over MSRP for a car. Hell it would be doubtful for me to even be willing to pay MSRP. Ive been able to get some kind of discount on every “launch car” I've purchased BUT I love to haggle.

Maybe it is, we indeed have a decent social system. It is more about the general consumer protection act though, where an item is not allowed to be sold for a price higher than advertised.

A drawback of living in a social oriented world is that we have to pay a luxury tax on our anual car registration, it's 1% of the value of the car over $40k. It adds up quickly .

So what's your 992TT spec, then?

Mainly went for the go-fast options, but a few cosmetic ones too :
  • GT Silver
  • Black leather with chalk stittching
  • Chalk seatbelts
  • Adaptive Sport Seats 18-way
  • Porsche crest on headrest
  • Race Tex steering wheel
  • CF roof
  • Sport Exhaust with silver tips
  • Sport PASM (10mm drop)
  • PDCC Sport and PTV+
  • Turbo-S exclusive design wheels (0.5" wider)

Adds up to ~170k USD including destination fees. I still have a few months to finalize my spec (will need to freeze around March)
