The F-Type R is gorgeous! And probably one of the best sounding cars out there. Congrats on the car, that was a great pick!
I would buy an F Type R for the noise only. Sounds Fantastic
Come on...you and your cars, I'm surprised you never bought one!!!

The day you picked up the car you would do that? Really?

I ain't buying it. Do hashtags work here? #marketingstunt
It would have taken him all of 30 mins for him to do all that.

Guys - this isn't a case of Abu Dhabi or Dubai dealers throwing money at BMW in order to get the car first...

The Middle East and parts of Europe routinely get ROW "Rest of World" vehicles first. The Porsche Cayman GT4 was first sold or spotted in Dubai...

Having lived and breathed in the Middle East for the past 8 years we routinely got to see these cars first and it happens all of the time.

Are you hiring a driver, sir? Say..person that can wash your cars, take it out for spin, and take it home. I am willing to relocate.

If you have opening for a job in your family, please do let me know.

Nice car man.

Jealous X 100 of your car but not your job...hahah

I wish it was a manual so that I could see how it compares to the 1M. That car is still amazing and even when I sold the F80 M3, I kept the 1M

I just have to live with having a sunroof on this kind of machine.
DCT and chrome are ok to live with....but a sunroof......WHY !!!

I am thinking, Porsche went great lengths to save 1KG from the 991 GT3 to the 991 GT3RS....and here we get this option....

the MOTOGP safety car sounds very similar to a Nissan GTR with an exhaust.

Need to remove the cats and see how it will sound
Methinks ye protest too much about the sunroof..... you did have a chance to wait and order the car as you wanted ... right?

I would love to hear your impressions between the 1M and M2.

Wait what... you sold an F80 M3 and kept a cheap little 1M AND bought an el cheapo M2 ?

you do realize you now have no credibility here.. because like.. no one does that... Perhaps you need to get an M4 just to be sure?

Lets demand the flood gates to be opened and deliver all cars as they arrive from now on. No point in holding the cars back if some of them are out already...

Wish the M cars had little more of a drop straight from the factory...but no, the masses need to be satisfied first..
