porsche has multi year waiting lists for $250k+ gt3/rs where they make almost 50% gross profit on each meanwhile bmw is reselling M4s as M2s that weigh the same and apparently can't be bothered making a comparable GT car that can eat porsche's lunch? M division checked out a long time ago..
i also havent seen any totally positive reviews that werent entirely ad pieces of the XM. I've seen em, driven em, and while impressive for the size grossly overpriced for what they are. total whiff.
