mattr762, There certainly is a reason why there is a $13,000 difference between the two and any fool would not think it was the quality you are eluding to.
I could show you several SPF with flaws such as doors that need adjusting or weather stripping that was missing. Whatever the case, you would be foolish to think that any car is perfect or an imperfection was the standard.
A dash cover peeling? QUOTE "The paint blisters did not show up for 6 years! I purchased the car last year and it had less than 1000 miles. It sat most of its life covered in the garage in Chicago. This past summer I drove the car a lot and apparently the summer sun (heating the paint) brought out the blisters! I hoped SPF would be surprised with the paint defect. They were not. The car is chronologically old, but like many SPFs was not outside and driven a lot. SPF did not volunteer to offer help. Just said the car's so old. The problem doesn’t often happen, but is not unique to the older cars (or so I'm told). Normally it occurs on darker painted cars. My comments are based on conversations with SPF dealers in Ohio, Virginia and Louisiana."

Headers are now mandrel bent and flanged.
Tunnel is about the same as SPF and others. Obviously you are guessing because I have measured them when reviewing passenger compartment space. By the way, BDR had more space than anyone else.
I would agree that a mandrel bent radiator tube would certainly look nicer. I also think the BDR stainless expansion tanks look nicer and they certainly last longer than the SPF.
The stainless steel in the engine compartment looks cheap? I have shown my car many times and gotten countless compliments on the stainless in the engine compartment. You are the very first to say anything other than it looks great and shows off the engine. When I consider this statement along with your comment on the cheap suspension I start to realize that you really don't know what you are talking about and have no business commenting on any of this. I have never heard of anyone calling a BMW suspension cheap. In fact BDR has won several road racing events in which most all other replicas where represented with their cheap suspension.
