I'm pretty sure some ahsiakia will flip the car after 2 or 3 months having moved on to the next shiny things. The problem is for these cars , one of the main joy in buying these super cars is the option to spec up the car the way you want it , right down to how you want your interior to be . ↡ Advertisement 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is the personal import route. I'm sure you know CJ - he imported his 488 himself, saved quite a bundle too if memory serves. With McLaren it'll be much tougher I think. More niche than Ferrari and the dealer network is much closer knit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

More niche than Ferrari and the dealer network is much closer knit. That would be considered as PI and I dun think he was able to spec the car as one would at the AD or factory and I do know that Ital will not provide any warranty claims and even going directly to the factory would not help . Ital profit margin I feel still reasonable as compared to Mac for sure ... 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if I'm considered a "fan boi" (which is a pejorative) but I've owned more BMW models than any other single make. And I hate this look. YouTube has self-professed BMW lovers saying they hate this look. To date, I've not found one independent person saying they like this look, without some sort of qualifying (weasel) statement. It's fugly. Looks may be subjective but this is almost certainly *objectively* hideous. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't argue against that, but I think the previous 4 GC (F36), the G20 (latest 3 series sans the G80 M3) and G30* (latest 5 series) are also handsome looking. Personally, I will rank the G30 as the most beautiful BMW currently. Bias caveat - I own this. 2 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Volvobrick Supersonic September 25, 2020 Share September 25, 2020 (edited) It would probably be more tolerable in a dark colour or black: PS Those tail lights look similar to some other makes. Edited September 25, 2020 by Volvobrick 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
