Don't think I've seen a side profile shot of your M Roadster before (a rear shot, maybe). Love it! Love the styling on that generation Z3 & in M trim, it just looks incredible.

Thanks. I love it. It ages very well.

It has caused small problems at former places of employment where people were thinking it was a nearly new $60k car that I was showing off like I got a big bonus. Little did they know their Ford Expeditions cost 2-4x as much as my now 19yr old car.

If this isn't the coolest trio of car models, then I don't know what is. James Bond's car, a psychotic little murder kitten fiat, and the car that ended Group B racing.

The Fiat is too cute. Fits into your palm haha

Lovely Wes. Does the front hatch open on the Fiat? I'm expecting some solid review ;)

$130 retail is comical, they really half assed the QC and detail on these. I paid $56 shipped new in the box, just needing the mirror from my base car.

I paid ~$100CND. Diecast and opening bits is better than $400 and sealed. Yes the model isn't as good as some of the later stuff. I think they rushed the car to meet their year-end contractual issues with Ferrari. A true same, this car deserved more!

Scored this, $21, NIB but wheel fell off which will take me all of 30 seconds to fix.

Sun Star Platinum is nice stuff.

$212 shipped. Been waiting to get one for 2 years; recently turned down one scalper who wanted $300 for the white colorway. Still wish AUTOart had done the Agera R instead. Hoping for a One:1 eventually.
