Awesome info Stealth.
Good to know that we drive the same car as the soon to be four times WC F1!

Margin effect an be offset by charging for it. In the USA Porsche for a long time charged a premium for European Delivery and people did pay. Recently they made it free.

One thing I noticed during the tour is that they also had a lot of competitor cars in the lot - Aston Martin, Maserati, Porsche, etc. As an Aston Martin Vantage was pulling in I asked my contact why someone from M was driving the car. He said they swap cars with Aston to help them bring competitive insight to their engineering efforts. He said they drive these to help them keep M on top.

This is awesome.
The '14 M5 CP I ordered is individual paint/interior, but the pricing was completely bonkers. I got a very good deal on my initial agreement with the dealer but I have the feeling that they clawed back what they cut from the sticker price and then some when I added the individual options. At least if I can work directly with Individual, I will know exact pricing. Too bad you didn't sneak a pic of that new X5M! I have a feeling the styling will not top the outgoing model. Still miss mine, especially in the winter.

When Vettel went over to Toro Rosso in August 2007, I'm sure this is something BMW Sauber had to agree to due to his being under contract with them, etc. Last edited by VintageFerrari; 10-17-2013 at 05:49 PM.. |

I think there's a difference between what you get paid to endorse/drive and what you actually want to drive.
I would be happy to drive any marque if i was being paid enough. Sadly i am lacking F1 titles. |
