Has anybody checked on QV? This might be emotional overload for him.

Are they serious??? $170K

For that price, Heidi Klum will have your baby.

What does that put it head to head with in the marketplace?

What could a tuner do for under a $100K?

I'll buy a slightly used Gallardo for less than that

I love new suspension parts before they get dirty:

[Steve Ekstrand]

For $133K you can get Porsche's fastest entry. Faster than the current GT or GT2.
I'm pretty sure this car will roast the M3.

Looks like Toby started a tend with the Orange M3

[Steve Ekstrand]

I think Toby's is just a 325.

[Bob Beamesderfer]

I doubt it will be priced at the U.S. dollar equivalent of the Euro price as calculated in Autoblog's post.

Cool as this is, I really want a new 911 Sport Classic.

BMW marketing did a good job with the new ads. The Part 2 I think is the best.

Starting the video by highlighting a few rock chips. That's brilliant!!!!

Buy our car! Cool orange paint, but... it chips so easily. (the lawyers made us warn you in the in the promo video)

But otherwise, I agree, filled with lots of cool takes (lighting, slow-mos, angles etc.)

[Tadd Ekstrand]

I am not seeing the rock chips?

[Craig Naylor]

part two, first shot looks like the front lower right air dam and air inlet (time code - 0:00 - 0:01 fading in 0:02) has two big chips.

Initially, I thought the same thing, but I think that's reflection from a couple really bright, pinpoint lights.

[Tadd Ekstrand]

Those are just like kurt said from bright lights. I don't think BMW would film with rock chips in the paint.
