New VE SSV Redline Sedan Owner (In a few weeks...)

Yeah I'd of gone the M3 over the Redline any day. Would of had to spend a fair crack more though I'd imagine. $110k for the M3 twin scroll v6 is the go I reckon.

LOL!!! You chose a Redline Holden Commodore when an option was an E63??? Hahahahahahahaha.....

LIKE everyone is saying that is your opinion. May not be his!!!

you also have to take into consideration running costs...how much would it cost to service/repair an E63/M3, insurance etc, maybe it made the SS more appealing as well

If you can afford the 180+k to buy the car, then I am sure you can afford the servicing and running costs. Insurance for the bmw would be lucky to hit $1800 even with the most anal of insurers like RACV. Servicing is not that much more expensive.

not just servicing either. replacement parts after warranty is over are ridiculous in price lol i love quoting customers bmw parts.. love the reactions when i tell them to price.

most people dont think ahead about that stuff.. and are stuck with expensive bills come serviceing time

As nice as they are (I briefly considered a M5 before my most recent purchase), perhaps the guy didn't think they were 3 - 4x the price tag of a Redline better??? I certainly didn't!

I could go out & buy a C63/M3/GTR, but man that's a lot of money to spend on a car.

Do I really wanna pay 4 times the insurance than for the SSV? Nope.
Do I really wanna pay for servicing? Nope.
Do I really wanna park it outside of a lock up garage? Nope

The only way I would buy a car like that is if I had the cash to buy 2. Maybe when I'm a but older it's something I could consider.

Once again you jump to bloody conclusions, sure an E63 may be a better car in some ways but there are reasons people would choose a Holden instead, if you can't figure these reasons out you will lose all credibility in my opinion.
