Damn. I bet she’s one of the people that complains about the extra 50lbs in the higher trim models.

My car is always parked at the end of the parking lot where no one else want to park.

Glad to see I’m not the only one doing that.

@ 3:28 it sounded like a manual gear change.
Also at 4:19 - anyone has any idea what he is covering/uncovering?

Once all the padding and camo is removed, this should be a pretty car!

The headlights look good!

Been watching this video some more : that spin that starts at 1:42 - it appears that rear tyres start free spinning rearward as the car starts rolling back when the driver release the brakes, and then they lock up again when he presses the brake some more. Would this be quite unusual for an automatic gearbox, this kind of rolling in the reverse direction to the forward gear the transmission/gearbox was in before?
That is something i expect manual gearbox to do, with the clutch in.

Thoughts?
Could be just a way of seeing what I want to see, but I'm fairly confident that this is the manual car.

It's a racecar, so it'll have a sequential gearbox or a dual clutch.

I was having similar thoughts. At times it looked like he was letting it roll back with a clutch or even putting it into reverse while rolling, which you generally can't do with an auto. Hard to tell though.

Couldn't neutral be enabled in a DCT by pulling both levers? I'm saying this because the M2 has a DCT that BMW/Toyota could use here.
