In a word: sinister

Driving home tonight, I was extremely happy to come up behind my first sighting of another M6 in the wild. This one was a beautiful GC and I had a chance to admire it from different perspectives. Gave the driver a toot of the horn and a thumbs up as I passed him. He tucked in neatly behind me and that is when it struck me....

The visage of the front end of a black M6 in my rear view mirror was immediately intimidating. I was momentarily envious of it and then realized at I too was driving such a beast.

I thoroughly enjoyed the moment and now I know what other cars see when I'm behind them and why they give me a look like they've seen the devil incarnate as I pass them.

Loving this car.

A lot.

Amazing read man. This has happened to me once (also a black m6) in the late evening- and you're right, it IS intimidating.

I've seriously had reconsiderations on my color choice, want a black one. Day or night, looks so sinister.

Awesome read. I was in NYC the other day when a brand new 650GC pulled behind me. Those LED headlights are so sexy but menacing, and the car itself as well. If the non-M can look so badass, the ///M6 is even more sinister.

When the time comes within the next few months to switch to an M6 hopefully, I sort of want to do an exotic color so it stands out from the crowd, but every time i see a dark-color F06/F12/F13, especially like a Frozen Black or Grey, they always win me over. It's such a clean and stealthy, yet aggressive look. Decisions, decisions.

I'd definitely recommend going frozen black or grey for factory color.

From there- if you want to wrap it an exotic color- then go for it. But no 3m matte wrap, black grey, white or silver- ever looks as good as the real deal from bmw.

I'm seriously considering changing my 2016 order from frozen grey to frozen black...

It'll really make the white interior POP. But damn, any black paint from Bmw is just so damn good on the m6. Takes seeing it in person to truly appreciate it

Believe it or not, in a Metro area of 6m people, I have only seen 1 M6 other than mine and the ones on the lot.

But I snapped this pic a few weeks ago just after I washed it, and you are right, it looks crazy mean up front.

I do love knowing that this is what cars see driving behind them. Sinister was always my goal
