That interior is simply gorgeous. I was always hesitant about the color red for the interior because I felt it would be a bit too flashy for everyday use, but the interior of your car is very elegant. Now go out and put some miles on the new toy!
Stay safe and enjoy that thing in good health.

Congrats, matte paints on M6 Gran Coupe are amazing and let the side profile outstanding.
I did place my M6 GC order this week, wanted to go with individual interior at first (Canyon Brown, Piano Black trim) but BMW didn't accept, so I chose Sakhir/carbon trim. I was a little bit nervous with my choice, but now, when I see yours, it's obviously the right one |

Thanks everyone. So far I'm loving the car, but it has been raining since I picked her up and really can't tell how good this car is.
Love the manual and the set up is perfect for heal & toe. I'm so excited BMW returned the manual. I just hope it doesn't go away!!! |

It is going away, this is the last manual M6.... You and I are a dying breed when it comes to manual tranny's. I find it odd though, driving is about the pleasure and involvement. The manual melds the man and machine into one IMHO. If the number don't work well with orders then make the manual a more expensive option like the convertible then.
But yes DCT's are faster. |

In an interview with the head of M division, he said that this will be the last model M5/M6 that will offer a manual transmission.
The only reason they offered one this time is to placate the American market. They tried to not offer a manual option on the last generation but again Americans protested so much they were forced to offer one. I see as on your's the area around the shifter is piano black rather than carbon fiber, do you happen to know why that is? Just curious. TY. |

That is terrible news and decision on their part. They are plenty people out there that still enjoy shifting.
When you opt for the manual, it automatically comes with piano black around shifter. |

[QUOTE=cetro;15009945]After over 4 months of waiting, she has arrived . I was totally nervous when I placed the order, I had not seen these colors in person. Once I got to the dealer, I new I made the right decision.
Gorgeous! Congratulations. Where did you get those floor mats? They look great. |

Very nice combo. I wish that they did the manual in the UK but they don't. I'm not 100% sure I'd have bought one mind, but I would have liked to try it at the very least. I believe it rev matches on gear changes for you unless you're in Sport+, that sounds like the perfect combination to me.
However, from a business perspective you can see why they don't really want to offer it. Of the 800 odd M6 Gran Coupes in the US/Canada there are only about 30 manual cars (I don't have the full stats, just extrapolating from what I do have) and 8 of those were press cars. Obviously the parts are shared with the F10/F11/F12 and I don't know how many manuals of those have been sold, but that's not an economical production quantity. |
