I learned something new today. And that's saying something given the drinks I've had.

We all have different tolerances for these kind of factory faults and the costs of ownership. I fell out of love with BMW hard, and that’s despite BMW saving my life in terms of safety when I got into an accident. I just don’t think the romanticism around the M Coupe endured for me, as I had gone through the actual…

That’s a great color too, and an S54 car to boot!

Yeah! Ugly? No way!! I always thought it was very purposefully designed. It’s got a design language all its own, and there’s not an ungraceful line anywhere on the car. 

The M is one of the few examples I can think of where the convertible is better looking than the coupe.

Yeah, my uncle bought the M roadster the first year they came out, and he still has it.  I’m not normally a fan of convertibles’ looks in general, but the M roadster and Z8 are beautiful, especially in comparison to the clown shoe.

Disciples of Buell motorcycles have a phrase for dealing with those who don’t understand their machines that goes something like: It’s loud, it’s ugly, and we don’t care.

This is so confusing to me... I genuinely think its one of the best looking cars of the 2000's, and have thought so since it was first shown. I get how someone could not love the looks, but saying its downright ugly? I’m legitimately baffled.

Call me crazy but....   ...I fucking love the look of the Clown Shoe. There's something about it, specially from the rear, that's a fine looking ass if you ask me. I'll own one one day. 

I really need to reply to both of you but Kinja can’t be arsed.

Your points aren’t bad at all, but unless you’re going for the hiding-in-plain-sight vibe, to invite this level of publicity - and therefore potential scrutiny - for your money laundering op would not be advisable if it could be helped. If it couldn’t be, hmmm...that means Haas sponsorship would need to be the vital…

They have [...] as complex a distribution system as can be imagined

The only reason you plebes don’t know about Rich Energy is because it was only available for purchase on the darkweb with Dogecoins.

I’m kinda surprised the Romulans aren’t somehow involved!

Looks like a fancy money laundering operation to me. And by fancy I mean blatant at a huge scale. 

Pretty sure (hope) that was written tongue-in-cheek.

The official paint scheme for British companies skating on the edge of bankruptcy. 

Avocados. They should be sponsored by the avocado industry.

On top of everything else, they couldn’t come up with their own paint scheme? So they decided it was a good idea to rip off the John Player Special livery?
