I'm Back in the ///M Family (sold the R8)...
Some of you may remember that I decided to not take delivery of the 2020 M5 Comp that I ordered and instead opted for a 2020 X3M Comp (long story). I had the X3M Comp for about a month (didn't like it) before I decided I wanted to buy my first exotic supercar, the R8 V10 Plus. I thoroughly enjoyed the R8 and had a hard time deciding to part with it. However, due to the pandemic, declining markets and exotic car values, I didn't want to be stuck with the car and lose upwards of 30-40% on the value.
So, I decided to go back to my original plan of getting a 2020 M5 Comp and, lo and behold, the M5 Comp I ordered originally back in Dec of last year was still sitting on the lot! I spec'd it nicely with alpine white, Silverstone extended interior, executive package, and M carbon blades, M Pro spoiler, and M rear diffuser. I called up my M sales guy and said what deal can you give me on the M5 that I ordered and passed on originally? He said I got you! MSRP: $119,650 Discount off MSRP: 13% Loyalty: $2000 Here are a few pics before aesthetic mods:

Between the X3M and R8 swap, I've lost about $17-20k.

I drove an R8 V10 Plus from Munich to Lake Garda, IT and through the Alps over 4 days a couple a years ago. Absolutely awesome car. I would totally want to have one, except for the impracticality of it. Nowhere to put the golf clubs.

I think because it's an SUV vs a sedan or coupe. My wife has an SUV and I don't need one. It's a great performer for its segment, but the M5 feels better to me.

Yes, I'm in MD. Due to the sales tax credit, I only paid $650 in taxes on the M5.

R8 is fucking amazing. I still miss it and will for some time. I can see me getting another one in 3-4 years time depending on what Audi does for the next gen version with hybrid/electrification.

I bet with everything going on you could have negotiated an even bigger discount?
