it is interesting... this is basically a RCF drivetrain (M4 competitor), but in 4 door form, and will likely be 10k cheaper. So its a 340i/S4 fighter now based on price. The RCF couldn't compete with the M4, but it does compete very well with the 440i. might even be better.

i do agree the interior is dated though and that is a big drawback on a daily or semi-daily car. Even the f80 is better here. i think i'd still consider a used lc500 with 40-50k miles for $65-70k (and already eaten a good amount of deprecation) over this is500 for $55-60k. I dont need back seats and the interior/exterior is MUCH better.
