My new ride M6 GC.

Had my F80 M3 for exactly one year. Car was AMAZING. I have zero attachment to cars so I decided I wanted to try an M6 and had to get the GC. M3 was fully fully done up. M6 Im not going too too crazy. Had it wrapped satin black from ND Vinyls in Brooklyn , Neil is the BEST hands down. Calipers, trims, and emblems painted by Xclusv Autosports. And of course I had to coat the stock wheels black at my shop (Espo's Powder Coating). Eventually will lower and do wheels, also have downpipes already.

Some photos of my F80.









Onto the M6
Singapore grey (Although I knew I was wrapping it anyway.)


Powder coated the wheels wet black.

M3 looks good but M6 GC is in a different class. Especially with that full merino leather interior. Definitely an executive feel to it. Welcome to the club.

I was thinking the same thing, you did the 2 things I'm personally not a fan of:

matte black paint/wrap - car looses its appeal to me, regardless of vehicle
black wheels - wheels get lost , tend to look smaller when black, and looks like spare tires to me.

But of course, this is just my opinion and afterall it is your car so if you like it, by all means, go for it!!!

Enjoy your new ride. Its a phenomenal car to say the least!

Cheers!

Nice, you got the ceramic brake already!

What did you do to the stock one? Is it for sale?

Congrats, what an awesome combo!

Can you please just check what the recommended Tire PSI ratings for the GC are?

My door jam says 45 PSI
