** UPDATE: It seems as though they have taken the Build Your Own feature down for the M5 right now. We will keep an eye on it and update you when it returns. In the mean time, we have pricing below that we took from the page before it was removed. **
Just about to order mine. Anyone have any thoughts/research on ceramic brakes (are they necessary if you aren't hitting the track?) or 20" (besides look and harsher ride, are they much better performance wise?). I've also read a little bit about the night vision - anyone that lives in wooded areas with one? (I live in MT and have a ton of deer on my road).
The BOY is currently down... too many people building it i guess!
That's about right. The ceramic brakes on the much more expensive Porsche Panamera is around $8k as well. Not that there is a silver lining in paying that much, but at least you won't have to replace your rotors.
The folks in Germany must worship ceramic or something. Even the ceramic controls are $650 for a few knobs and bezels here and there. It must have something to do with sculpting the shapes, I dunno.
Yeah, it seems as though they may not have wanted this to be live yet. Pricing for packages is still in the original post and we'll keep an eye on this for when it comes back online.
I agree with you. That's that special ceramic. Comes from the protected mines, hidden by the protect forest, in the protected valley of the hidden mountains... lol. I don't get it, but I can imagine the profit margin of a client buying that option.
