The M6's wheels looked considerably wider and filled out the wheel well better than my 650.
Another thing that stood out to me was the steering. The M6 felt agile and lighter. Which are obvious characteristics when compared to a normal six series. But to actually get in the driver seat of a M6 I was blown away at how composed the car felt compared to mine.
Anyway my question to you all is are there any simple mods to make the car sit the way the M6 does?.. Wheel spacers maybe?.. New wheels all together?.. Thoughts?.. Trading into one isn't an option at the moment so I would like to get my car to mimic the stance in the short term. Thanks in advance guys.

I just traded in my 2013 M5 2 weeks ago for a 2013 650 xDrive (I know, I know...it's a long story that I discussed on the M5 board) and although I wasn't in a M6, I would say that you will have to do quite a bit to make a 650 close to a M6. By the time you put some of the Dinan (for example) springs, tune software, different wheels, etc. on your car, you might as well put a down payment on a M6 or pay down your 650 so you can get out quicker. Even if you did do a lot of mods to your car, including making it faster, it still won't be a M6 in terms of handling, steering and overall feel. So if I were you I would make some minor cosmetic changes that I like and save most of my money for purchasing a slightly used M6 still under warranty if that's what I really wanted. Just my $0.02...
