Thanks for the info. I just can't imagine being one of e92 guinea pigs, though.

 

That's not that expensive at all, a great deal compared to the Audi RS4 $66,000 base price and should be faster too!

 

I don't know what Audi was thinking when they came up with that price.

 

i want to see if they improve on what wasnt a great looking concept. pricing is fine if thats going to be it, but they need to make it aesthetically as good looking as the e46 is. sucks if you buy the nav and get the ugly hump. the cf roof seems cool. i also want to see what this pig is gonna weigh. my guess 3600-3700 lbs.

 

not sure what you mean about the nav and idrive, as it says its going to come with idrive which means the hump. unless you meant you wouldnt buy it as an option.

 

Damn competitive price, looks promising I wonder if they have a hood delete option :P

 

LOL! im hoping for that option! i just hope that the car isnt just a slightly done up 335i and look exactly the way the concept did because otherwise i will not be purchasing one.

 

exactly, im taking that line to mean that if you don't check the box for nav & idrive, there's no need for the hump and you get a real set of real buttons to control hvac and radio we'll see...

 

IIRC this article is over 6 months old.

 

I could easily shave at least $5500 worth of options off that price which is nice.

 

Not bad at all. Can't wait to hear some perf numbers.

 

What is a Head up display?

 

Really sick feature, we had it on our m5 and our z06.
It's this laser or some type of light that reads the (depending on company) mph, rpm, and other info of that type on your windshield.
Useless? pretty much, but the bad *** factor cancels that out.

 

More popularly known as the HUD.
In all M-models when the M-button is not initiated it shows the directional arrows for the Nav and other info, and your current speed.

When you hit the M-button, the speed toggles to a revmeter w/ a nice green to red color spectrum, as well as your speed.

Love it on my M5...wish it had additionaly features like nightvision / news ticker etc. That would just be icing on the cake
