and what if the M loses to the RCF, like how the new 3 and 5 did to the IS and GS. Some of the reviews arent too hot about the M with its artificial engine sound. RCF still has the chance to make final revisions to react to the M
Lose or not I will buy the RC-F. I am referring to those who are waiting and waiting for final numbers. Fyi, I am basing my decision on how unique and rare the RC-F will be against its competitors. I have changed my stand to go for pure performance.

If you saw the number of BMWs we get in on trade with complaints from the owners of having to fix crap over and over, you would think twice about getting one.

Wait for the RC!
Interesting info, thanks for sharing. I've had similar experiences with my past 3 Audi's... nothing but problems. A couple friends of mine have 2012/2013 BMW models and haven't had issues yet, hence why I was considering the M4.

Good to know - I'm hoping for the same!

I'm hoping the US doesn't get shafted with the options package like we've previously seen with other recent Lexus models.

Luxury package 12,800 Euros more expensive than the Executive. If these tiers apply to the U.S. as well, I will have to pass on the RC-F as I dont want the base strip down model.

Its great info to have but the Euro and USA market are completely different in regards to options and execution. Also note they get the 300h there....

I would not look at that data and think it hints at what comes here.

It sucks that the US doesn't get the RC 300h or the IS 300h. I wouldn't mind getting an IS 300h F Sport. As for the RC I'd go all the way and get the RC F...

Check out this fellow CL member's IS 300h...it's hawt...

Plus cars are more expensive at least in Spain where people occasionally hire a price negotiator to interface with the seller.

Wait for the 2016 RC. One look at the 3rd Generation IS section of this web page. Should be fair warning to not buy a first year car.
