I'm sure they'll let you use your credit card
Selling B5 and 1M would get you close
I still want the old one

Lovely, the ultimate 4-seat sporting GT? Can't think of much that comes close, a Maserati Granturismo S perhaps.
Presumably the B5 will now get this upgraded engine.
Will be interesting to see if they do a D6 version.

Need the Touring for the old dog (still have Sandy) and keeping the 1m as I think it is a future classic and it’s a blast
Would like a 730D M sport or a B7 just now to cruise about in

as I miss mine

so the credit card would be needed for fuel for the 730D Msport or B7

so the new toy is out the window

Have to agree, if the lottery numbers came up I would buy one.

Any idea on rough price yet?
I'm guessing it's lottery winning bracket?
