Perfect!

Congrats! I think this is the first photo of a 2015 on the forum, as evidenced by the presence of the iDrive touch controller.

messm6 · 04-29-2014, 01:18 PM

Wow! Beautiful! Love the white with the silverstone! Congrats man

Twitch Massacre · 04-29-2014, 01:36 PM

Stunning! Love the interior. Enjoy it in good health.

RichardP · 04-29-2014, 02:09 PM

Looks great Ian!

I'll keep an eye out for you when I'm passing, I'm up and down the M1/M18 about twice a month and I've yet to see another M6 GC on the road!

mr-karim · 04-29-2014, 02:45 PM

Airplane! Welcome & enjoy!

LSM · 04-29-2014, 02:48 PM

BTF13M6 · 04-29-2014, 10:19 PM

Great looking Beast!

Twitch Massacre · 04-29-2014, 10:24 PM

This is Brilliant White, not Alpine White, am I correct?

ianstewarts · 04-30-2014, 10:00 AM

Hi Twitch
It's Alpine White

If you are passing and have got ten mins give me a call i'd love to see your M6 in the metal

RichardP · 04-30-2014, 10:15 AM

It's usually either early in the morning (going south) or in the evening (coming back north), but sometimes I get away early and get to the M18/M1 between 6 and 7. I'll PM you my mobile number, if you're ever in the Harrogate area give me a bell.

In those pictures in the car park at Medowhall you can see just how big the GC is, it must be a good foot longer than the marked out parking space!

M6-Coupe · 04-30-2014, 10:34 AM

Congrats!
This beast is beautiful in any color and any interior/exterior combination

BTW I love the interior color however it's hard for me to maintain this color
since most of the time I wear jean. Enjoy the ride...

It is too big! It cant fit in most parking spots because of how long and wide it is.

Sean@PSI · 04-30-2014, 01:23 PM

Congrats! Beautiful color combo indeed

RichardP · 05-01-2014, 04:42 AM

Ian,

A tip for you, while everything is still new, remove all the wheels and grease the wheel bearing with copper grease. The factory don't seem to grease the outside of the bearing at all, so after only a few months the bearing goes from this :

I cleaned it up and coated it with copper grease to give it a little protection, you could avoid the clean up stage!

Tips like that are why I love these forums. I ran into this myself when installing spacers. Some build up was already starting to show up. Had the shop clean it and grease it then and there.
