    can't go wrong with either. They are both on the extinct list. I'd go boxer, but that's just me.

    512 BBi for me too. I've never been a fan of the 512M though - even when they were half the price they're trading for now.

    Also, if you are buying from a speculative standpoint, you are taking on great risk. I have a very hard time imagining these things boiling even higher. Not that it won't happen, but most likely no. Check out real estate, it is finally cooling off. There will be a correction in our economy, we are not out of the woods yet IMO, and there will be price corrections all across the board. Trying to flip a 512 or 512m right now may work, but it is EXTREMELY risky.

    I'd have the 512M, especially in a rare color.

    For me personally the 512BBi. Would go for 512TR over 512M as I prefer the styling and package is roughly similar.
    As an "investment" interesting question. 512M is more rare but would that colour be appealing to a collector (buyer type here given mileage, condition and price)? 512M probably higher risk / higher reward in this case.

    I'd take anything over a M, so I vote 512 also.

    This one was sold some years back, in fact they don't sell cars anymore and refer you to Copley. They are redoing the website... (So I was told when I enquired as this one ticked all the boxes for me).
    I eventually found an identical one... or maybe that was my car!

    The M is stylisticaly challenged.
    Financialy a BB will go to +500k. Historiucaly BBs sold for 50% of a daytona and dinos 705 of a BB. At acertain point cars graduate to being collector classics, that is where BBs are going now. They dont make any more of them, and there are only so many collectable ferraris. If you wnated to spend less than 500k your choices are 328 glass 308 and BBi.

    But in terms of raw speed, hard to beat and M, and I really like that color. Question is how fast do you drive ont he road, because a BBI is going to go faster than most or you can sanely go, but yeah the thrust does drop off above 150-160.

    IMO the 'correction' will be via inflation. The qty of USD required to 'purchase' will continue to climb.

    Asset 'Value' has not changed - the USD is changing.

    Folks are hiding the 'value' of their USD in assets. The 'risk' is holding USD.... and yes, I understand that the USD is currently valued quite high.

    As for me - I'd buy 'em both... 'if'.

    512BB all the way. Never liked the M but I have to say this one is not bad at all in this color.

    Black BB is so nice.
