Newbie UK M6 :)

Hi All,

Just picked up my first M6 a week ago after being a hardcore M3 owner (E36, E46, E92) for many years. Very happy

Thanks.

Never been a modder really. Much prefer factory standard TBH. If anything I would add CF rear diffuser, spoiler and mirror caps - maybe!

Worlds apart.

Thought I would be gutted to lose my E92 Min White Comp Pack but I honestly haven't even thought about it.

The levels of refinement, performance and power delivery (not to mention looks e.g. daytime driving lights, LEDS) are far superior.

Just couldn't get excited about the M4.

Plus I've never experienced so many looks, questions and lads changing lanes just to get behind me and check it out. It's like no-one's ever seen one before.

Got to agree with you ... mine is the same colour with Comp pack but with those same wheels and I just love it.
Had a BMW performance diffuser installed which really enhances the backend of the car in my opinion.

Yum. That diffuser is awesome. Must have.

Do you have a part number please? Is is OEM and BMW fitted?

Glad you kept the 343M wheels - not sure about those CP ones...

The M-Performance diffuser is P/N 51 19 2 347 848.

Fitting is very easy, just 3 Torx bolts in the middle and two expanding rivets, one on either side:

There will be quite a bit of grit and dirt under the exiting one and the rear under tray which you need to clean off. Should take no more than 15 minutes though, no need to even jack up the rear of the car.

I think list is about £700 + VAT, maybe a bit more. I usually get a good discount on parts as I have bought a lot for my E39 M5 in the past and have a good relationship with the parts manager at my local dealership, up to 30% on some stuff, so I got it for less.

Nice.. another M6 owner joined our little club, I have the diffuser, and I paid the list price and was fitted before delivery.
