Yes, for the front fenders, because those are bolted. But the rear is a different story. RC and RC F do not have different rear quarter panels as the 435i and M4 for example, where the M4 is wider.

I agree.
The GS-F spindle should stand out over the other GS models.

Sure it does. It's just horizontal slats instead of the F Sport mesh.

Because people don't buy performance cars anymore? People with that much money would be looking at a large SUV because of family needs. I see many people I know dropping 90K on MB SUVs and Lexus Trucks when they are better off with a minivan.

Aesthetic is a subjective topic. You'd better say "I think that things is "f"ugly."

That's because, unfortunately, they actually believe that nonsense often spouted by the auto press (and some enthusiasts) that essentially pan minivans as somehow too "Soccer-Mom" and unfit for a male to drive.

Its also a status symbol, it shows that you can. Today's suv's get the same fuel economy as todays minivan's so it makes the argument for a minivan even less compelling.
