June 19th, my bad and good catch. (Off by 17 days, ***** that really messes with my attempt to b*tch...
)
I think all of the Retina Pros come with the Samsung (SM) controller. I haven't seen anyone with a TS controller or other, ranging from the 256 to the 768.
Good news for me and all other maxed-out rMBP users.
Lol. More like good news to all rMBP users

Even better!! It's nice to hear some good things about the rMBPs. Seems a lot of people are disappointed with the new technology.
& do you have an M5?
Right on, one of my favorites, just a straight up bad ass ride that can be a lady in the streets and a freak of nature on the track.
Thread officially high-jacked!
The acceleration still astonishes me to this day... that F1 derived V10 is really quite unique. Kills me at the pumps though...
Test drove the new F10 M5 and the TT V8 in that just isn't the same

Hahaha. Seems to happen a lot on MR, though it's usually two people starting an argument about something extremely minor

Ya dude, I’ll talk cars all day and BMW M Class, forget about it. It never gets old 2 me.
That V10 is amazing, when I road in one my boy put a $100 bill on the dash and told me if I could grab it, I could have it.
Let’s just say I am NOT $100 richer... He does have some Dinan parts on it but still, the thing is a beast!
You have the rMBP of 4 door saloons! Lol
Haha, I'm surprised the bill didn't fly off the dashboard
Nice, I've been looking at some mods lately but can't bring myself to bite the bullet just yet. It's already a pretty quick car when it's stock.
I've only got an RPI air intake & pulley and some high flow air filters right now. And of course some extra sticky Michelin PS2 shoes
Nah, I don't think so. The rMBP is the future of computers since it abandons older technology... and I doubt we'll be seeing a V10 in any future BMW road car. If anything, the new M5 is the rMBP- abandoning old stuff (naturally aspirated engines) for new-age stuff (twin-turbocharging).
you guys are making me jealous! i'm still piddling around in a 2007 335i.
the only mod i've made to it is added an x1 sunglass case where the driver hand hold is.

The M5 should destroy it in a road course environment. The CTS-V is a brute, but still over 2 tons...
Hi
I am in a summer program for 23 days and I am in New York.Do you think I would get a one,If so when ? Shipping is not an option for me but I really really want to buy it after all'what would you reccomend.Cant I order it to the store If so how ? And while calling 5th avenue received a week ago Times Station few days ago I do hope theyll have Saturday around 12:30.Do you know the taxi cost from Columbia to Times Station or to the 5th avenue ? if they have in store need to be fast as the wind
I don't think it's cost intuitive to purchase a vehicle if you'll only be in the city for 23 days.
But seriously, you should start a new thread. We've hijacked the thread but your question is neither relevant to the OP or the new direction this thread is taking.
335s aren't bad at all. In fact, if I didn't need the rear legroom, I'd probably have one- I'd take a chipped 335 over an M3 tbh.
Acceleration from a stop, the V is no doubt quicker. Supercharged V8 equals massive torque.
Where the V10 excels though is in acceleration you actually use IRL (how often do you really need to floor it from a stop unless you're on a drag strip or are a 16 year old with a riced out Civic?), ie from a roll to overtake.
'Cool story bro' story: I was looking at getting a Panamera 4S back in Canada (my M5 is in Hong Kong) but there was a waitlist and earliest delivery would be mid-2013. Placed an order for a GTS and was now in the market for a temp car which I would be leasing. Test drove the CTS-V- loved the power, but the chintzy interior and awful multimedia system, not so much.
I could not have said it better, this guys knows his whips....But i still like the M5 V-10 better, but the CTS-V is FAST!!
