They didn't paint the calipers red, though, so there's no way those brakes can be any good.

I thought they had to be yellow so the car would be faster?

Wow, that's a whole 8K less than a Cayman S with better std. equipment (I'm sure), and free maintenance. In practice it may end up being more like $10-12K cheaper.

Well, the Z4 ///M is US-built right? If so, no ED at all.

Too bad it is so damn ugly. Oh well, I have 3 years to sort all of this out.

I'd expect the ///M coupe (in normal fashion) to cost no more than the roadster.

Greenville/Greer delivery is fun, too. Plus you get to drive all the way home.

i bought a MY2000 M coupe and i don't recall the pricing delta to be all that much between the coupe and roadster.

the M coupe, in fact, might have been more.

but by $500, i think.

if it's "only" 50k, then i'll still very interested in the new M coupe.

Yeah, I know about that. I'm sure it would be fun too, plus I would not have to wait for overseas shipping, but I would still prefer to drive in Europe if I had the choice.
