A buddy of mine in the car club JUST took delivery of one, and he brought it out to the 2011 German Car Fest (hosted by the local BMW, Porsche and Mercedes clubs).
Despite what Richard Hammond said in today's Top Gear episode about the car being too expensive, up here in Canada the price difference between it and a 135i Coupe is about $10k CDN. If you were to buy that 135i Coupe, put in all the M3 suspension bits, put in a mechanical LSD (Quaife or Wavetrac), put in bigger and wider wheels, and then change the software for more power... your bill would end up being about $10k, you'd have no more warranty, AND you still wouldn't have the wide fenders.
So, here's the pics of his car today. Equipment is the Canon 50D, Canon 24-70mm f/2.8L USM, B+W Circular Polarizer, shot in f/8 - f/10.
The owner (left) happily showing another club member the ins and outs of his car.
Feel free to check out the rest of the gallery, for LOTS more Porsches, LOTS LOTS more BMWs, and even a Mercedes 300SL Gullwing: http://picasaweb.google.com/TheStiggyOne/20110626GermanCarFest#
