The number on the side is the cars production number. There are only 500 of these (50 in the US). They are numbered on the side 1 through 500. No NAV? Did it have the 6 CD changer?

What does the number on the side stand for? I love the signature in the stripe. I'm telling you this car is the **** in person.

The one they had on the lot was 41k but with no NAV which is a must for me.

Also in regards to the wheel gap, the one at the dealer had next to no gap.

I saw a dealer post somewhere on here that the US WC50's don't have Nav. If you were expecting it, that might be something to look into.

I would love a photo of the window sticker to confirm the build list on the US models.

So the car only comes with a standard set of options. Pretty much all in the US cars are exactly the same. No NAV and no CD changer....but comes with what looks like every single other option.

I will post all the photos I took when I get home in an hour or so.

Pix.

Car is super hot. 631-486-6464 Ask for Gus tell him Gene sent you. I spoke to Gus, the salesman, about the car and he said there are really no options with the car. The entire thing is just a package and all 50 coming to the states are the same.

I'd seriously pick this up right now but I'm stuck in my lease till November.

Awesome. I love the fact is looks almost black in a lot of pictures including yours.

I am going to miss the built in NAV but will deal with the Garmin or googlemaps on the iPhone if need be.

If you ask me... Garmin or Google Map are way better than any stock NAV out there.

Thats a very sexy beast.

Maybe.

But I always love the other integration of other features and car data in stock NAV units these days. That said Honda and GM navigation units are the best. The BMW/Mini system is one of my least favorites......but I'd still want the factory unit on a new mini.

I really like the NAV system in my Audi. It is fairly accurate as to time. Whereas Garmin and Google Map are always too long for my driving pace. Almost like the Audi system has learned my driving speed.

I also have built in systems from Pioneer in my OTR trucks that work very well.

I really like built in systems for their integration I hate a messy dash or window full of GPS units and cords running everywhere.

I'm the other side of that equation. I don't like built in NAV systems because they only update the mapsets, maybe, once a year. If that often?

I like getting my map and firmware updates four or more times a year on my portable units.

My VIN is less than 50 numbers different than the one shown. Any else know the VIN on their WC50? Is it near this number? Maybe we are all within 100 numbers?

Completed my sale today at Morristown, got 2.9% for 60m.

If you got 414 and your VIN is 7770 then I'm guessing mine might be 413 as my VIN is 7763. I should know tomorrow
