And FWIW, this installation position appears to be incorrect . |

People always have something to complain about.. when g80 released it's the big grill and nothing on the small brakes. G87 leaked and it's actually good looking side profile, then ppl started jumping on the smallest things…

The g80 seems to stop pretty well though, so I can't think this will be much of an issue. |

I did a little research on your comment because it peaked my curiosity and correct me if I'm wrong but I don't see any signs of a manual handbrake with a physical lever on the Vantage model, just mentions of e-brake system. And also, I was mistaken before, no current car manufacturer that I know of has an e-brake setup with just a fixed piston caliper, without the ancillary "mini caliper" to support the parking brake function. It's a hard necessity apparently and in the case of BMWs, unfortunately never going to happen due to cost restraints. 😔 |

But who I am kidding, you can't overcome physics; it most likely will ride stiff as a go-kart, which might be bliss on a track but torture on the under maintained public streets. 😗 Not to mention, replacement tires in that profile are going to be a costly endeavor.. Like $500 per tire.. |

My view is that life is short and there are already plenty of restrictions that we have to put up with daily, why give a shit about people bitching on what type of car one should be driving or how one should pick a wing. Not everyone can be a racing car driver but if with the wing on, that fantasy is somewhat fulfilled then that is a very good thing. This is what a good sports car manufacturer (Porsche, Ferrari, Maclaren, Honda Type Rs...) is ultimately selling, the emotion of the driver being tied in with motorsports It's your car, you paid for it with your hard earn money, do whatever you want to it to make you happy Last edited by Karmic Man; 05-11-2022 at 03:11 AM.. |

Any estimate on when they would open up the order portal based on production date?
