3678  350x500 bmw m6 missing rear bumper BMW M6 Bumper Cover Theft!

It started in the 1990s, when pricey airbags were stolen from cars. Then, high prices of precious metals have caused a spike in the theft of automotive catalytic converters.

Designed for the insane rich lunatic (Porsche thinks there are five hundred such people), it is essentially the twin-turbo rear-wheel-drive GT2 but with less weight, more power and of course more money.

To differentiate the GT2 RS from the dime-a-dozen GT2s, Porsche left pieces of body in unpainted carbon-fiber and installed an even bigger rear wing. Based on the success of the GT2 RS, Porsche is currently planning a Cayenne GTS RS model, also easily identifiable by its unpainted carbon-fiber body parts and black wheels. … Continue Reading
