Maybe the same maker, but the components.. internals may be totally different and better.

Only time will tell

I hate how they bundle the HUD now, and what's up with heated front seats not being standard (and why wouldn't they be part of cold weather package)
I'm fairly confident you can build Med Blue with M sport. I was at the COTA Event and saw it and drove it in person. Also have an F10 same combo in inventory at my store.

The only light blue available now is the Blue Stone Metallic. In person it's kind of a mix between liquid blue and glacier silver

It sounds absolutely phenomenal in person. Volvo's BW sounds much more in line with the G30's HK. The G30 BW is neck and neck with the G12 BW and even better when listening to certain genres.

We're are the black 664 wheels, you know the ones that you had every reviewer and their brother test drive!!!!!! Why are these not offered in the US but offered everywhere else!!!!! The wheel choices stink, at lest the black ones looked somewhat aggressive.

As usual, these cars will make superb secondhand buys in 2-4 years.

Worldwide many people are opting out of Comfort access type systems due to it being exploited as a way to steal cars.

So BMW gives you the option
That's a load of baloney you just pulled off

The S6 is nice, though, that image makes it look a bit too much. Besides I have yet to see an Audi that looks interesting from the side and rear other than the R8 and even that car doesn't look proportionally balanced with its fat ass and skinny front.

Also, comparing a stock image of a stock car against an image framed meticulously to make the car look more pronounced isn't fair. Let's wait till the car actually comes out and then we get to see the real beauty of it.

As for the V8,ok whatever sure

Why ?
Dealers in many countries have reported a marked drop in comfort Access uptake after large scale thefts of multiple brands due to the systems being hacked.

Key range extenders are being used extensively to either steal the cars or open them to steal contents

Yes, on the standard headlights. It's beyond ridiculous at this point.

I don't think this is Mediterranean. I think this might be a new color they were teasing us with...perhaps for the M550i only???

I'm ashamed for them! That is absurd! If you're going to charge me a premium price, it better come with premium features. Mercedes, Audi and even darn Toyota Camry's and Kia's come with STANDARD LED's in the segment.
