That's the ex-Shah of Iran, ex-Nicolas Cage SV/J, isn't it? That's not a car, that's just rolling pornography.

First time I've seen this picture. Holy lack of model bloat, Batman!
Hate to be "that guy," but that's a '69.
Give that man a cigar.
That is not really pink. But it is sex on wheels.
I was wondering if a GT40 could pull off hot pink. Now I know that it can.
1971 Lamborghini Miura P400 SV/J. It's only a few shades off as it is, and there is no color in which I would not love this car.
Yeah, in the post-Neue-Klasse era, you're probably right. Funny how the "sizzle" of the lineup is always what is preserved and remembered and fairly well represented decades on, while the "steak" is gone and mostly forgotten, and thus far rarer.
60,000 miles is, IIRC, the interval where Inspection II is required... that's a pricy service on an E46 M3, as they adjust the valve train along with a bunch of other stuff. If it's over 60k with no Inspection II, seller better be knocking the price down to compensate.
Nah, I think the Isetta is definitely the black sheep. BMW went from the Baroque Angels, including the breathtaking 507, to the Isetta, to the Neue Klasse, from which it's a direct line to today's BMWs. Isetta is clearly the "WTF?" entry.
GM had a string of these back in the late '80s and early '90s... I like to picture a group of uncontrollable, irrepressible rogue engineers locked up in a water tower, Animaniacs-style, somewhere on the outskirts of Detroit because they were just too crazy. And every so often, they'd escape, wreak havoc and bolt…
I've seen '05s in the high 20s. That's way more than normal "prestige car" depreciation, considering that the '05 looks effectively identical to the current model. Maintenance costs must be truly terrifying. That's coming from a guy who owns a 2000 M5 and accepts the costs on that as the price of living properly.
The sedan intrigues me. As it stands, they want $125,000 to $150,000 for a car that's competitive with a ten-year-old E39 M5. What are they targeting for $75,000, the Focus?
I'm not a fan of the electrogadgetry that has turned cars into rolling offices / phone booths / nannymobiles, but this is pushing it too far. The only scenario I can visualize under which I'd buy something like this is if, say, Ford offered this package on the Mustang GT, or Mazda on the RX-8 and I intended to turn…
Where on Earth are you finding Z3 M Coupes for $10-15k and why haven't you bought every one you can at that price?
Fellow E39 M5 owner here. I've owned mine for a little over a year, and have done about the same. Tires, clutch, thrust arm bushings, rear wheel bearings, diff output shaft seals, driveshaft rebuild and a few assorted sensors... probably about the same total investment. Most of those issues, I knew to be issues…
Wonder where they pulled that price figure for the Alfa 4C from. Everything else I've seen is putting it at around $60,000 US, making it (to me) the only car on here apart from the R8 and the Jaaaaaag that's actually cool, rather than a "look how rich I am" conspicuous-consumption symbol.
It's nice, and that's probably a fair-to-good price for a concours-restored '70 Camaro Z28, but it's not for me. A car that immaculate, I'd have a hard time bringing myself to drive it and mess up the immaculate-ness, and I have no interest in owning a car I can't drive. So NP, but with the caveat that I won't be…
Horrifyingly, this is less awful than most of Mansory's products. I still hate it. My plan for Mansory remains: burn the plant down, bulldoze the remains into small pieces, plow the pieces into the earth, then salt the ground so nothing can ever grow there again. They must be stopped.
