I appreciate that the other options (carbon exterior trim, carbon buckets, etc.) are available here, and might tick some extra boxes if I go this route, but I'm definitely not going to whine that if I load it up with 20k worth of good stuff, that it's close to the cost of a stripper 911, which you likely won't be able to find in the wild for a while anyway.
That’s a good point, BMW has packaged this more cleverly for milking profit and added some must haves (CF buckets) over the F8X.

If I build it as close to my F80 as possible the gap is just below $10k instead of $20k. Factor in no Euro delivery and the gap grows again though. It’s almost 7 years later so all in all it’s not that bad.
