Don't have $1M but if I had the Agera would be right at the top of my list regardless of what BC (whoever he is) says. Roof box and everything. Can understand people's frustrations (and the huge amounts involved) but with so many cars is it really necessary to cause such a stir? It does feel like wanting to bail out of the deal more than anything else.
(Namedrop alert)I was speaking to the gentleman in the top box of that shot only last week - ironic eh 
His experience was essentially, 'fast in a straight line, but they forgot that it also needed to go around corners'.
I've always thought the 'egg was a pig in a dress. Looks like BC has found out the hard way (but he does sound like a spoiled rich kid t say the least).

I would imagine that to a greater or lesser extent goes for all 'hypercars' where in excess of 1,000 hp meet a tonne and a quarter or so of kerbweight. Exiges they are not, even when some start out as one... His experience was essentially, 'fast in a straight line, but they forgot that it also needed to go around corners'.
However I've heard there *is* some quite radical back-to-basics thinking behind the suspension kinematics courtesy of Magnus Roland (ex-Saab) in the later models, and Chris Harris seemed to be quite positively suprised at the completeness of the dynamic package when he reluctantly agreed to test drive the Agera...
The "hunk of s
t"/"pig" in question. BC is the bald, paunchy asian guy dressed like a rapper. "Hitler" aka CvK himself makes a few guest appearances at our ballin' design genius bangin' meet (3rd vid from the top).

The impression I am left with having waded through the various threads is that 'segg found themselves with a very challenging client whom they did not manage well. In particular they did not manage his expectations. Almost certainly his expectations were unmanageable anyway and the whole deal would have best been called off early on.
"BC" comes across as a rather sad figure to me. He has access to vast amounts of money. Yet no matter how much he spends, how much attention he garners and how much he blusters he will not find his sense of self-worth.
Having everything given to you on a plate really can be a poison chalice.

Wow, this thread has been great entertainment (made me stay up all night but worth it).
Edit: I can also remember the incident mentioned in the beginning of this thread with the Norwegian Tommy Sharif who drove his car in the ditch. Koenigsegg offered to buy it back because they felt Tommy was hurting their image.
I mean I love supercars and I'm an aspiring entrepreneur myself, but reading about customers like BC and TS I can't imagine the horror of having to deal with guys like these. Jesus Christ...

You're supposed to close the lid for corners
A few things:
1, I'll still buy a Koneigsegg.
2, Buy any BMW it will have paint issues.
3, He bought the car on looks alone. - never buy a car just because it looks good and expect everything else to be good
4, What did he hope to achieve by putting this online? If you don't have success dealing with the company instruct lawyers to do it for you.
5, If he wants Bugatti quality and service why doesn't he just buy another Bugatti??
And finally I think everyone has missed what this guy is actually after. He just wants a hug and for someone to tell him it will be ok.

I agree with this. If it is possible to feel sorry for one man and his ego, this is it ".... I have established a good sense of impact in the car community...." "....and have no problem driving the balls out of them and go head to head with them, if the Agera does indeed outperform like Christian claims and believe in, that along is the single biggest marketing campaign in itself..."

BC is clearly an appalling human being with no class at all. He behaves like a spoilt little child, who clearly has not had the privilege of proper guidance from his parents. This situation has simply shown the world what sort of nauseating character this illiterate BC is. I suspect this laughable saga may well put off many niche manufacturers from supplying products to such spoiled brat communities in future. The only "Truth about Koneigsegg" is they agreed to sell their wares to the wrong class of person.
As for the mass of appalling sycophants on L4P... Oh dear. Highly amusing to watch. Clearly rich in assets yet very poor in character. Yes the world is pointing and laughing at you all.

^^Indeed^^
... and the saga continues with another BC classic. American football player Chad Ochocinco "sits on" (2D camera trickery and "crouches in front of it" if you ask me, judging by the position and his flexed calves) his WRAPPED Veyron and gets a classy Benjamin Chen reaction via Instagram in return from our gentle hero.
And the cherry on top.
Onto the excuses... or something similar with a narcissistic spin.
The sycophants quickly comes to the rescue following the BC rant and glorious ballin' ensues. At different points they delve into the definition of racism and some state they never even could image that the term "f**king monkey" could have negative annotations when attached to a black man. But the a-b-s-o-l-u-t-e gem must be...
"I AM a peasant and monkey. There always needs to be people at the bottom of the totem pole to support the top."
Oh.
Dear.

I guess I will comment on this once...
First of all, I was not there, I was still in NYC celebrating my birthday that Thursday, funny enough it was Michael Strahan that actually showed me the IG post when we were out together that night; wasn't the best thing you want to hear on your birthday. I guess I was waiting till next morning when I get to LA to let it all out. Even if I was there, I would never allow that. The car was left outside at the Platinum display section. I will always got those boys back, they are like family to us; no one actually saw it happen, that muppet snuck a quick one by everyone there, I'm not going to lay the blame on them. But I don't even sit on the hood of my own cars.
I had repeatedly commented on the post asking him to delete the picture nicely..at least 10 in a row kept getting deleted right away, so he saw my comment asking to take down the picture. The name calling, I didn't lie nor did I front; I do have the world's worst temper known to man, probably could have handled it a bit better publically, but those words were meant for him, was assuming he was going to delete everyone of them, guess he missed a few at the end. I don't take what I said back, I said it, I am not going to back peddle. Also the guy is flat broke, fronting king on IG. I may have come from a well off family, and perhaps have not made as much as he did in his entire career yet; but I do know what I made do allow me to spend it on the things I love the most, which are my cars. Seems like he has pissed away all his money, that is probably why he doesn't even have any financial means left to pay his child support and live.
As far as meeting me at Platinum, I am always a man that does not hide behind a keyboard, everything I say I mean it and I have no problem comforting someone in the same way in person when I know I am in the right, all I wanted was for him to apologize to me and the Platinum guys. I do not need extra people to back me up if I was worried it would get physical, I know I can take him on my own; but that wasn't the point nor intention even thought no one would think he would actually come there and talk to me face to face like a man.

A quote from one of my favourite actors regarding this asswhipe:
Harry Callahan: Listen, punk. To me you're nothin' but dogst, you understand? And a lot of things can happen to dogst. It can be scraped up with a shovel off the ground. It can dry up and blow away in the wind. Or it can be stepped on and squashed. So take my advice and be careful where the dog sts ya!
