Considering upgrading from E92 M3 to M6 Coupe
Hey all,
Been thinking about the possibility of selling my M3 and moving up an M6 Coupe within the next year. I'm a big and tall guy, and lately I've been feeling like my E92 is just a tad cramped, especially in the seat bolster department. Had an opportunity to sit in an M6 this weekend and I was very comfortable in the driver's seat. I could probably afford up to a 2014, but I'm wondering what the differences are between the various years for this generation of M6. Is there already an LCI year of this car? I noticed headlights being different, but are there any other major differences? Any well-known problems these cars have that I should look out for?

Except the front and rear headlights there is a very minor difference on rear diffuser and iDrive.You will enjoy the drive of M6 for sure. Is your M3 manual or DCT?

So if I were to go with a 2013 or 14 I wouldn't be missing much? My M3 is a DCT.

I went from and E93 to an early F12 and they are night and day different. The F12 is more comfortable, has better tech, is faster, has a much larger trunk, has the same useless back seat and overall is a much nicer car. The only drawback to me is the size. It is huge! Its as long as my partners 7 series, and longer than my wife's cayenne. I have already nicked the left front clip twice. Parking in tight spaces is a pain in the rear.
When I decided to upgrade I looked at the M4, the Jag F Type, the Jag XKR, the Corvette and others (in the 60-75k range) and the M6 was my favorite. I believe that my 2015 got the new NBT head unit/iDrive.

I owned a car with the NBT system and while nice, it is not worth much to me over the cic system in your M3 and my M6. Also, I think the switch was my2015. NBT is a litttle sharper, has a larger controller and some widgets. Same hd size amd no apple play in the M6. However, the comp pack in the later M6s, plus the ability to get a better steering wheel might be another reason to wait/buy newer (older M6s can't easily upgrade steering wheel w/o major surgery)

The M5 definitely came with the other steering wheel but even the first press release photos show the M6 with the newer wheel

Steering Wheel Issue
I am talking about the ability to upgrade to a BMW Performance Steering Wheel. I believe that M6s built before 7/13 require extra part replacements to upgrade.
