New Member Intro / 2015 Alpine White M6 Coupe! / Mods question
Hey fellas,
new member here. Just wanted to introduce myself and show off some quick pics of my new m6! Its loaded with Virtually all the options except for the Carbon Brakes. So far all I have is the Photosync tint at 55%. I have some other cosmetic mods being installed this week. Including Carbon fiber lip, Rims, and Grilles. But Im curious to know if anyone can recommend any performance mods that are either easily reversible or wouldn't heavily conflict with warranty. My main desire is to get a little bit more out of the rather tame exhaust. Most guys seem to completely swap it out or have some serious work done. In addition to giving me more HP, Would adding say a BMS tune amp up the exhaust note at all? Any recommendations you guys can give would be awesome! And now the pics, and ill definitely post more after the mods! [URL=http://s1170.photobucket.com/user/S |

None of the tunes are going to make the exhaust sound different. You would need to change the actual exhaust to make it sound different.

Congrats on the pick up! There are many options for exhausts.
What kind of sound are you trying to get out of the car?

Honestly it may not matter anyways im having a heck of a time finding a pair of 305/25/21 PSS ... ive scoured everywhere. No one seems to have them anywhere. I found two 265/30/21 so i snatched those up for the fronts but the rears are elusive. I just hope I can find them before whichever wheels I choose arrive! |

Check that. This is not exactly your perfect solution but on a whim I checked this one site I use that is kind of a conglomeration of several tire sties. It took me to the Tire Rack. The Tire Rack site is showing the Michelin PSS in 325/30ZR21 to be in stock right now, but that tire is 28.7" tall. I don't know if the height and width will fit. Check with Twitch Massacre about his experience with his 21" tires - I think it was the 325/25ZR21. I believe this is his thread about it, but he is using Pirellis - http://www.6post.com/forums/showthre...light=325%2F25. Note that his car is lowered too. Like I said, there is another member here who just put some 305/30ZR21's on his car. |

How in the heck did you find someone to talk to at Michelin? I have been trying to get info out of Michelin for over a month. I got so frustrated I finally just gave up. So far all I have gotten is some sales support person who did not even understand the most basic tire terminology. I hate to use names so let's say that talking to cauliflower would have been more useful. The person with whom I spoke had trouble differentiating the concepts of tread width and tread depth, and section width really threw her. It was actually worse than that but you get the idea. Would you please PM me with how you managed to talk to someone that was actually helpful? |

Another Alpine White M6 owner here!
Congrats on the new car my man! Great choice on going with the Vorsteiner new GT-V Front Lip!! What shop are you using to get all your parts done at? Hope to see you at Bimmerfest my M6 will be at the Toyo Tires Booth while I'll be working at the Nick Alexander BMW Platinum Sponsored Booth!

I have the exhaust on order from AutoTalent, and ill be going there for that and the install of my rear diffuser which Ill install at the same time as the exhaust. BUT Id like to find another shop in the valley or more local for any minor stuff so I don't have to drive that far for everything. So if you have any suggestions let me know! The place locally that installed my front lip was okay but without sounding too snobby Id like to find a more upscale spot. |
