Hmm my dealer has an Interlagos Blue M6 sitting around for $103,595. I'm pretty sure its someone's order though.

On the other hand, there is (was?) a "base" M5 sitting in the showroom with an MSRP of around $86k after all the taxes. I think it wasn't an order since it was open for everyone to play around and sit in. But it's gone now.

can't be the case if it's at the dealer. $82K MSRP w/ destination plus the mandatory gas guzzler on 06's for $3700 already puts you at 86K.. where are you accounting for the taxes?

By taxes, I meant gas guzzler. Not sales tax or anything. Basically, the sticker said $86,xxx. It was the Sepang bronze color inside and out, with the Olive carrara light wood.

2) Need to find a way to stop it from defaulting on every startup to D3 or S3.. Can't understand why you can set the default drivelogic modes

3) The exhausts sounds really muffled (almost diesel like at startup)
It would be nice to hear the v10.
So, for the same kind of cash, would you do it again? Is there anything else you'd get instead?

I guess in the world of 5-seat sports cars, your options are pretty limited.

I know those valet boys like the M5. Saw them ragging one out at a hotel recently.

yes. For 4 doors midsize, there is nothing else that compares.
