in any case, it would be silly for bmw hk to look like a follower rather than leader in the industry.

I think its hard to beat the sales of AMG S class, the alternatives would be continental GT or Panemara turbo for those people, just not the M7 unless they are die hard fan.

More than that, some of you might remember Top gear has put 760i against S class AMG and 760i wasnt far away

But because the seat position is quite close to the rear wheel, its quite easy for the driver to feel the dynamic of the car.

very good eassy about the S2K
I love the interior feels very sporty.
I would not drive it more than 1 hour
I had to stop 45 to 1 hour to carm down

My guessing:

Keith's roll cage is not the "original equipment" when importing into HK,
So its not allow to drive in HK road.

And maybe its a home made roll cage, as the government might require certain of certifications such as TUV to prove the safety...etc
