i believe the reason they dont accept orders is due to the buyer demographic of american buyers.
A lot of americas lease cars rather than buy them dont they ? as a result i'm told this leads to a lot of cancelled individual orders as people shop around and generally chop and change all the time.
When you buy a lease car in the US, you dont need to end the lease to sell the car, you just find somebody else to take it over and swap.
I presume that your typical 7 series buyer is less likely to cancel than say a 1 series or 3 series owner who probably changes their car more often.

I dont think it has anything to do with leasing - it's simply because when you place a deposit for a car order in the UK, it is a legally binding contract for the supply of that vehicle.
In the USA, you have rights to change your mind after the deposit is placed. Therefore there is a much higher chance of random cancelled orders kicking around.
So you were nearly right
I always thought they offered it for M Power though, obviously not.

No doubt the quality of work and attention to detail is top notch but I'm sadly not that impressed by it, I guess that's probably down to seeing so many mega build/refurb and restore projects.
Not liking the wheels either! lol at the venom photo!

Sure they do...they are both wheels.
I wouldn't have thought as much as that?
Ah ok, got sick of reading the way he typed so missed it. Still, wouldn't have thought that cost that much.
It doesnt
i've already priced most of the stuff up in a post further back
"it" didnt say it. Somebody guessed and commented it was $250ks worth, but they're talking crap. $60,000 worth of mods. Tops. See :
That is truly stunning, inside and out - Love that engine work, looks fantastic with the bonnet up! Would love to know how much this cost to do, just out of interest/ comparison to the aforementioned Ferrari
522BHP at the wheelsGotta be fun...
ESS Stage II is $18,695 from ESS tuning in Norway.

No idea of UK price as the UK distributor doesnt quote a price, but gives you a ball park figure to work with. In comparison the G Power 600bhp supercharger kit is sold here for £18,700 Click Me and G Power is german. So i reckon about the same for the norway based ESS kit.
Budget say £6k for a proper respray inc. labour of stripping and refitting it.
Brembo 380mm Six Pots are £3500 (front brakes and parts only) (Click Me), Akrapovic Titanium Exhaust is £4,200 (Click me) BBS FI's will be a couple of grand. Plus assorted carbon fibre.
Budget say for another £30 - £35,000 on top of the original purchase price for everything.
