.. What colours are they ?

Z4 and TT were bought for the same purpose as the M3 .

Z4 is blue and didn't bother asking about the TTs colour.

I know the cars can't be compared . But the main purpose is not just a powerful car but a comfy seating for four . Thus , the 2 cars . But the XFR might make its way into the garage .

I know its none of my business but I have a question. How come the big drop from an M6 or R8 to the Z4 and the TT? And also why 2 cars of the same segment?

TT & Z4 both have pretty okayish comfort thus most people wont use em as a DD(Daily driver). If you say a //M3 then it surely does serve the purpose.

Sorry . I forgot to tell you guys about these cars . These were bought about one and a half months ago i.e. Before the plans for the Monsters were made . Right now , he's thinking about the XFR .

Oh ok makes sense.Can we have some picstures bro?

His garage must look like a showroom.

But why does your brother not move on to the Bentley - RR league now?
And also out of all these, which is his all time favorite? If it were me, this question would feel like a quantum physics problem.

YSooSeriouss · 29th April 2010, 19:26

Yes I think so too that he must buy himself a Phantom/Ghost. Its high time when you have so much already. However we are back to speculation( he may buy the XFR). Beware of the mods !

avishar · 29th April 2010, 19:31

I guess he should get his XFR in red,looks smashing in that colour.
Any pics of the updated garage?

smalhotra_93 · 29th April 2010, 19:38

XFR is ready for delivery . Grey colour .

Bentley and RR would make their way soon .

Pics would be here any time soon . Just waiting for the weekend so i can go and meet him .

I'm much more desperate than you guys :P

@akshay : His favorite is the Z4 for now but the XFR might just force him to change his opinion

arjunrudra · 29th April 2010, 19:39

I think you have given your brother a very good choice regarding the XFR. Totally worth the money considering it's on par with the M5 , M6 and even the R8.
Ask him to get the special blue which comes with the XFR, called kyanite blue I think . Looks awesome in that color.
And what bentley and rr in the sense range rover or rolls ?

RR was to be a Rolls bro .

I won't comment soo early on the Bentleys and the Rolls . They may be just round the corner or too far . No one knows !

smalhotra_93 · 4th May 2010, 19:25
