http://www.motorauthority.com/blog/1052337_beyonce-buys-jay-z-bugatti-veyron-for-41st-birthday

While most of us would be lucky to get a new pair of socks or maybe even a car care kit for our birthdays, rapper Jay-Z has been given a $2 million Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport for his 41st birthday by his lovely wife Beyonce Knowles.

Jay-Z, who celebrated his birthday on December 4, is said to have been thrilled with the present, despite already having one of the most extensive car collections in the country. Some of the cars he’s fortunate enough to own the keys to include a Maybach 62S, a Ferrari F430 Spider and a Pagani Zonda Roadster.

Considering that money is probably no option for the well-to-do couple--they were recently named the highest-earning couple in entertainment, beating the likes of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie and David and Victoria Beckham--you'd have to wonder why Beyonce didn’t spring for the more exclusive Veyron Super Sport.

The answer to that is simple: Even for the Veyron Grand Sport, she had to order the car a full year in advance to ensure it would be ready in time Jay-Z’s birthday. Ah, the lifestyles of the rich and famous…

You can check out what it will be like for Jay-Z to drive his Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport in our own drive report here.

So jealous right now.. although i don't think i would like it much if my wife bought me a car.

they are more than rich enough to afford a veyron. they could buy one a year and still have a few million each left over.

True. They must been hell rich.

Most Expensive Cars In The World: Top 10 List 2009-2010

1. Bugatti Veyron $1,700,000

2. Lamborghini Reventon $1,600,000

3. McLaren F1 $970,000

4. Ferrari Enzo $670,000

5. Pagani Zonda C12 F $667,321

6. SSC Ultimate Aero $654,400

7. Saleen S7 Twin Turbo $555,000

8. Koenigsegg CCX $545,568

9. Mercedes Benz SLR McLaren Roadster $495,000

10. Porsche Carrera GT $440,000

So now, Jay-Z owns 2 cars in that list. :worship:

apparently as a couple they are worth $162 million. i think that usually goes off assets rather than actual income, so even if only a fraction of that was invested they would be seeing a rather large income from their investments without even including record deals, movies, etc.

Beyonce is sooooooo hot

and i like Jay - z and his music

True. They must been hell rich.

    • Shouldn't need a "base map" for anything other than guidance to ignition tuning. You just need the engine capacity right, the injector size right, and something, almost anything, for a VE map. On an NA engine, fuelling is almost completely a function of load signal & rpm. It should run and drive with a completely flat fuel map. It will be too lean under load, but that's easily fixed. We used to tune all ECUs without any base map. There were no such things (until someone had tuned a near stock engine on one, and then they had a "base map".
    • What did you actually buy/how much did it cost? When I got mine in like.. 2017...? 2019? the aim was to run Torque for gauges via ODB2 and things like Track Addict/Laptimers/Dashcam/Reversecam/Spotify etc. Mine never broke, but I wonder if you've got the same needs (it sounds like it). Cause I liked the idea of being able to do anything with it. That said, yours also cost 3x the cost of what I spent so... food for thought.  
    • For me there is a massive difference in manufacturer or big brand crippled android (Sony, Kenwood etc) vs the sort of thing I've installed here, which is basically just a tablet in DIN form factor with open Android, and the other model of course is mirroring - Android Auto/Carplay. I hate the locked down manufacturer and AA options where they decide what apps I'm allowed to install, including the Launcher but also importantly things like Ecutek (for this car) or Real Dash (Stagea) are not supported. Plus those crippled versions tend to be slower due to both overheads and lower spec hardware. On the other hand, when this breaks I'll likely be in trouble for support....but how is that different to owning an Infiniti anyway
    • Yeah, Duncan is helping sell me back to Android devices. I've hated the whole Android head units due to their speed issues. Even in my old Hyundai Kona (2022 model), it behind the scenes was Android, and slow and shitty to start up. Once running wasn't bad, but still a good 15 to 30 seconds.
    • My roof rails are off atm on the E39 until the rust is fixed. I did find another little bit of surface rust under the rails when I took them off. As @soviet_merlin said I'd just leave them alone unless you're planning on ensuring they're properly sealed. I was on the fence about leaving them off as the delete is still a thing in BMW E39's but I feel like the car is missing something (er, it is, der) with them off and I'm looking forward to putting them back on.
