Factory wing, factory stickers. M5 power but M3 size. Is the driver’s car BMW pretends their cars are. Supercharged, pretty analog compared to the current crop. I think it’s cool. Harry Metcalfe has one and it’s a joy to see him make videos about it.

I was amazed to learn how much effort they put in to make it. I think only the roof and front doors share panels with the regular one?

That front bumper design will be in coffee table books about car design history I reckon. Those holes are a fantastic detail.

Love the purple and gold wheels, but gotta lose that sticker.

I love it so much. Purple cars are best cars.

There’s one that’s Nürburgring taxi and it RIPS. Love these things.

Sick. Much better ‘ring taxi than the current M5 I say!

I also love the holes

Heh, there’s a few companies/brands out there who run taxis. I really wanna rent a ride in the GT2 RS MR, but I’m not even allowed in the country right now and that’s gotta be a good chunk of change to get a ride in.

Also you’re likely to vomit in it. I think the faster you go around that ring, the closer your vomit probability gets to 1.

Still haven’t seen one in person. But oh dear lord, so much sexiness. I would do terrible things to good people to have one.

I suspect there are none in Aus. Is a rare car

With only 300 made, I wouldn’t be surprised. Autotrader has 6 listed for sale in the entire U.S. right now, with the cheapest new example posted for $150,000.

With that said, if some reputable company made a replica front fascia for other XE models, I’d be hard-pressed not to buy it.

Unusually, apparently some are available here but only LHD so not road legal. That’s super weird.

Oh I’d definitely buy that if I were an XE owner. It’s a cool bumper, Jag should sell them.

Nah. No vomit so far. I don’t get carsick, though.

Me neither ordinarily. But I drove the ‘ring once, and 4 laps of the ups and downs and twists was enough

Oh man, I loved it. I wanna move there so much, haha. Scared the hell out of me to drive, though. Riding? Fine! That nut behind the wheel knows what he’s doing. Driving? Oh man. I do not have the talent to be that comfortable in someone else’s car.

...

I need to drive it some more!

I’d so love to live in Europe, particularly in range of the ‘Ring. It seems an expensive hobby though.

Ah! I thought riding would be worse! Driving definitely horrifying. Amazing fun though, it’s like living a dream.

I think I’m extremely used to setting all of my expendable income on fire lol

I wish I were you :( Perhaps one day I’ll stop aiming for dumb expected financial goals and move to Dusseldorf

Oh, some responsibility is a better idea, I’m sure.
