Eurgh, not at all keen on that. The front end and wheels look pretty hideous.

I like!!! Although not the best colour.

That's a wind up! I thought looking at the reg plate, '51' it's well old, then I noticed the rest of the plate! Doh!

I like.

You muppet.

Looks are NOT why you buy a VXR8

The engine is :D

I haven't seen one in the flesh but am not overly keen on the revised front end from the version 18ME and I had. The word on VXRonline is that it will retail at £49'950 over here. Whilst I appreciate it will the the GTS version from Oz that is imported and there will only be a few of them, I think £50k is stretching things a bit.

[Mook]

Compared to what though? I know it used to be about £35k, but then an M3 was only around £40k and they're a shed load more now.

[Busby]

They were £35k when the M3 and C63 were just over £50k. Prior to the E90 M3 (when the original 6.0 LS2 VXR8's were being sold) you would have spent another £5k at BMW on extras that the VXR8 either already had or didn't need. That's what made them a bargain - a proper hob nail boot of a car and hell of a lot of fun. Now, with only a couple of grand between them it would be a no brainer for me to buy a C63 if that's the type of car I was looking for.
