The car was 340K And I had a great trip. The V12 was

I know a guy that is way up the ladder and he brings me cars to drive and take me places.

Can't mention his name so don't ask!

I don't want to post pictures from Rolls-Royce here. And I don't need to prove anything.

There is nothing wrong with sharing one picture. And not a picture that anyone can get from Internet. Lol
That will just prove what you are saying is true and drove something special.
It cost way more then mine house. It's house on wheels. Lol

To me, it looks like a $150K crayon. Someone will love coloring with that thing though, and more power to 'em.

Moreover, I feel the air vents/scoop trim pieces are too massive, plus they are accentuated by contrasting gloss black......I'd say that looks tacky although some people might see in it an "aggressive" look which they like. Obviously, BMW body styling people know their buyers' preferences better than I do.
Thank you! I knew there was something familiar with the M8.
Color aside they have totally different design languages.

A lot of people say it looks like the mustang but to me that's a stretch. The wheel base is longer the side profile of the hood doesn't match, and the windows design looks different. Looks way better on the bmw. I actually love the design of this car very much and do not like the design of the mustang. To me it can't look the same if I like one and not the other objectively speaking.


You clearly have perfect vision.

The form-language is very different.

I actually think the mustang is the best of Ford.

I also happen to think the 8er is the best of BMW.

We are good

That facility was full off Rolls-Royce ( can't share where it is ) it's unreal. Many million $ worth in one spot.

He is cool guy, he travels to Germany a lot presenting US, doing some reports.

He gave me couple hints that he knows about new models I can't share dough.

Back to topic:

I will try to find a picture of car ( green ) that was there. It's on mine computer, I must of made few hundred when I was there. Lol

Edit: Found it, he send me this last year.
The first Java Green Rolls-Royce Wraith
The other picture was from Pebble Beach 1935 Phantom

Gents, please check out the below account and see what kind of cars are being car dipped today (im sure all of them are more expensive than a bmw 8).

I personally wouldn't wrap a car that is like 200K
If I had this much money why not repaint? Adding 3k more is like penny's for them. Lol

Second some a$$ can always peel it off
How about engine bay area ? That can do it so perfect where that there is no moisture traps or salt can get in?

No thanks for me, I rather do it right and repaint.

Wrapping a Rolls-Royce or McLaren or any other high end car?

It's like putting steel rims on Bugatti. Lol

It's just mine opinion,I rather spend more and paint the whole body when I have that much money to own this expensive car.

That’s not wrap, that’s peelable paint my friend. Applied and polished like normal paint, so you can never tell the difference, and can always go back to stock paint look any time.

Great to see various options on this thread, that’s healthy thinking
