New Owner - couple of questions and *pics updated*

Hi Guys

So i finally picked up my M6. What a machine

After driving it for about a week now i have a couple of questions:

Can i change the default mode of the car when it first starts up? either to M1 or any of the other settings?

Does the car have full power available on all settings or is throttle restricted when in comfort/sport. (similar to the e60 M5 when M mode was off)

What do you guys use to clean the leather?

What are your opinions on a black (or maybe even carbon?) front grille?

Car has resonator (or something) deleted so with a remote control i can open something in the exhaust which makes it sound a little more like the animal it is, BUT the front end is still very quiet and doesn't roar like the V10 did on WOT. has anyone got recommendations for intakes etc?

any help/advice/tips appreciated

Obviously the dealer takes better photos than i do, but here she is. Standard m6...for now...

No you can't. At start up no matter what setting you have on M1/M2 it follows the default mode (all comfort /D1 with DSC ON)

Does the car have full power available on all settings or is throttle restricted when in comfort/sport. (similar to the e60 M5 when M mode was off)

Yes it has full power available in all setting. The sport/sport+ on engine will change the throttle response time and the sport/sport+ on transmission will change the shift time (is S mode) as well as shift point in D mode.


What do you guys use to clean the leather?

I use the BMW leather cleaner but there are many different brands out there. Just be careful to use the one which is good for soft leathers since merino is so soft and easy to be scratched.


What are your opinions on a black (or maybe even carbon?) front grille?

I personally prefer black but if you want to install CF lip, then CF grills should be better match.

Car has resonator (or something) deleted so with a remote control i can open something in the exhaust which makes it sound a little more like the animal it is, BUT the front end is still very quiet and doesn't roar like the V10 did on WOT. has anyone got recommendations for intakes etc?

Do not turn DSC OFF until you get used to the power and torque of this monster. You can have some fun in MDM mode on dry roads anyways...

Obviously the dealer takes better photos than i do, but here she is. Standard m6...for now...
Congratulation and enjoy the ride...
