Right off the bat, I could see one minus on this car (although IMO the E-shifter probably would also be one, if my previous experience is any guide)...those wagon-wheels and rubber-band tires are likely to be a disaster the first time they hit a pothole or serious bump. And you better have some good insurance for that, because new wheels and tires for that car are likely to further empty out one's bank account.....after paying a huge sticker-price for the car in the first place.

One thing, though, that is interesting is 0-60 in 3.4 seconds for a version that is not a full M5? That's getting up in Tesla Model 3 territory...which was arguably the fastest street-legal car I ever sampled, with the Mercedes E63 AMG not far behind it.
