I live in Northern Germany and have never seen an R8 IRL and only 2 E92 M3's. I have never seen a E90 M3 on the road.....and i use the Autobahn regularly!

That is SOOOOOO true. You would think that being German cars that they would be all over Germany, they are not. Outside of my post, I have seen 1-2 M3's on the local economy and who knows...... they could have been owned by Americans too.

Only R8 I have seen on the Autobahn had dealerplates on it. Audi RS4's and Merc AMG's, I see those everyday I am out on the bahn.

One reason might be because of the premium these cars demand here in Germany, an M3 Vert loaded will set a German back 97-100k EURO, that is 120k dollars. The R8 I checked out the other day at the dealer had the nice price of 178k euro, roughly 220k dollars..... OUCH!!!
