M6 GC Rear window
My mate has the M6 GC only 5 weeks and he could not see very well out of the rear view window, missed the Police car hanging back on an empty road
Booted it and now has a court appearance for speed in excess of 100 MPH. Do any of you guys find the view out of the rear "restrictive". It's put me off the car all together, I like a good view out of back?.

No, I believe it's better than my wife's 7 series. The mirrors are fairly large for a sport sedan too.

I don't find the view restrictive in the least - seems fine to me.

If no one has noticed before () people often have strong opinions about their cars. To most, that it's right for them is enough, to others, sometimes they want to point out that their choice is what others should have decided.
BMW in general is getting panned a lot these days, whatever , with a lot of it hitting the M5. Just about every review prefers some variant of the M6 to the M5 in the F1x generation. Means nothing, at least to me, it's not about what others think when I buy a car. Coming out of a 550 DD the M5 was the first thing I looked at, great car, but I preferred something else. Wanted less understeer, less weight and how that impacted the drive, all my kids are in college now so didn't need 2 more doors, ... lot's of reasons. My reasons. Just ruminating a bit. |

No distance problems at all , is it different from a person to other ? Or your friend did not see the police already , it happens to us most of the time when you try to change lanes and you don't see the car behind it's called the dark spot.
