Yes we do!

Could you PM me a quote? Looking to get the reflectors frozen black, the front grills can be gloss or frozen.

Also- if you have these...could you Quote me on a front, back, and emblems for the hubcaps?

That B6 will be so sweet. I was hung up on getting a manual transmission. If MT weren't available on the M6 GC, I would have gotten a B6 with AWD.

6 Speed MT?!?! Why??

The car is too big, boaty, and it will feel much slower being manual transmission.

Just my personal .02 cent opinion being an M6 owner.

My 2014 M6 coupe was a manual transmission.

After test driving the DCT- as long as you can power shift efficiently- there's no better fun/ more engaging way

Yikes, please tell me my M6 will never feel "boaty"!

I am sure a DCT is faster, but honestly, in the relevant conditions, it's all really fast. I just think it will be more fun with a manual. I will definitely slow it down with "user error," but I don't want the car's internal robots to have all the fun/ challenge of getting the shifting right.

Nah, don't let these "it will feel boaty slow" etc comments deter you. Most of those comments are all based off what they assume it would feel like than ever having driven one.

It all comes down to the driver. .01 faster shifts are not felt, but if you aren't a very good manual driver (as some of my friends found out when driving my 14 model) it will be slower.

Power shifting is tricky on this clutch but totally doable.

Take it first hand from someone who's driven both- MT is much more fun- however, a huge pain during rush hour. (That's the only negative I can think of)

Plus- people are when they see it

I have also confirmed on a German board that they cannot buy a manual M6 in Germany. It's made only for the US. It will be a super-rare car for the 10 days I drive it around in Germany....

I wish I was doing ED- especially for this build, it's going to be amazing for you! What is your build like? When does it start production?

And once it's here in the states, you'll be part of the club being one of the rare(r) ones out there- given how they're not as common as it is even with a DCT- with the MT!

M6 is not boaty at all. It's big but not boaty. It's nimble if you know how to push it to the limit...

M6 is based off a 7-Series chassis if you did not know already.

You can be easily be mislead by how heavy this car really is because of the significant power/response the V8 Twin Turbo puts out in other words ///M Power "The Ultimate Driving Machine"

The "boaty" term is based on:

1. The car being big
2. The significant heavy weight of the vehicle
3. Handling due to the length of the vehicle

Again this based on my own personal experiences working for BMW myself and being an ///M Certified Specialist from BMW USA.

Not to mention I drive these cars for a living

I think the "boaty" term was just used wrong in your first comment (or it came off as such) that you were implying it would be slower/heavier due to being MT.

Hook it up with some good service once it gets here- I live in downtown long beach

I had no idea nick Alexander ever had a 6 spd m6! If I did I would have snatched it up a few months ago!

Don't get me wrong MrSugarSkulls I would always choose manual over anything with ANY car out there too. (For ex my NSX)

There is no comparison to shifting when you are trying to compare a manual to a BMW ///M DCT Sequential Gearing speed. (Night & day)

As for the "FUN" factor, HELL YES it would be more fun and exciting to drive by thinking you'd have more control of the vehicle by gearing. However BMW still uses the 6 speed getrag transmissions they've used in previous ///M cars like the older M3, M5, and M6's.

The only difference w the new M3/4's are that they have a carbon fiber drive shaft for quicker shifting on the DCT Transmissions with an entirely new redefined gearing for this particular model.

I am just not a big fan of driving manual in large cars (personal opinion) bc it feels like I am driving a tractor.

I've driven the new F10 M5's in manual as far as the E60 V10 M5 (previously owned) and the E39 M5's. I couldn't stand how much slower they felt compared to both SMG / DCT when driving them.

Hats off to being different and getting what you want as far as having 6-Speed Manuel for the M6 Grand Coupe! That is just not the car I would neglect having a DCT Sequential Manual Gearbox for a fun enjoyable factor. ( I am assuming you based this choice on driving both to compare, yes?)

I was like to think ahead when buying a car for resale value being in the car business myself.

Keep in mind I drive BMW & ///M cars for a living working for BMW.

wow you are right. I didn't know a 192" car (M6) is based off a 200" car (7 series) chassis.
Oh good to see a guy who knows how to drive an M car is letting me know what car I am driving. So since you are M certified, please let me know how another boaty car which is based off the 7 series as you mentioned (M5 30 Jahre) can keep up with a track oriented M car (M4) on a 1:20 racetrack and just be 0.2 second slower? not to mention the driver (EVO driver) was an M4 owner with 6 months experience behind the wheel of M4 and zero experience behind the wheel of M5?
