Hi... a few iphone pics of my ///M6 cab

Hello everyone - picked up a "new to me" 2014 M6 convertible with 13k miles. Spent many months looking for the one I wanted and happy about my purchase.
Will use it as my daily driver for sixty mile round-trip commute here in Atlanta, so looking forward to quality time in this ride.

Here's the rundown on the specs (loaded excluding comp pack):
- San Marino blue with amaro brown full Merino leather,
- Executive package, driver assistance, comfort access with soft close, etc.
- B&O sound system
- night vision
- CCB package

And here's the mods in process:
- Akra exhaust with CF tips (and probably exhaust meister to help with the neighbors),
- CF diffuser and front lip (and probably body-color trunk lip spoiler),
- IND black chrome grill and side markers, with body-color side reflectors and door handles
- AL Priority laser shifter system integrated with Net Radar custom install,
- detail/paint correction, PPF on front half and other spots, and CQuartz ceramic coating,
- windscreen (for top-down highway driving in various temps)
- ///M puddle lights (a little cheesy I know, but something I had on my 650i vert),
- will probably stick with stock 20" wheels and won't drop it due to steep exit/entrance ramps at office parking garage,
- probably won't delete cats, do CAI or flash/tune, as it already seems wicked fast to me

Thanks to all the contributors on this forum for providing great info to help guide the search process - much appreciated!

Thanks everyone - really enjoying the ride.

Here's a couple pics of the interior, which is one of my favorite features (especially since I spend about 1.5 hours in it daily

That contrast works really well, shame we don't get that much sun in the UK to complement and show off those great combos.

I have said several times and say again. The current 6er generation (and especially M6) is the most beautiful BMW ever made.
Congrats and enjoy your beast

Beautiful car! San Marino might be by favorite color ever from BMW. Really wanted it on our cab, but couldn't find a good one at the time, so went with white which was my wife favorite. We have already put about 14k miles on the car in 6 months. For two people it does everything very well.

Oh wow just saw the interior. I really like that a lot. One of the best color combos I've seen

Thanks everyone - I'm enjoying the color combo, even though it did take months and months to find it used with the right options!

I had the Akrapovic exhaust installed over the weekend - wow!! I'm definitely not a racer boy but the Akra system really is the perfect mix of engine volume upon command combined with great highway driving with little volume and no drone! I couldn't personally justify spending $8K on it, but very happy that I picked up a gently-used system! Props to all the comments on this forum that helped me pull the trigger.

Beautiful!!! I love what you did, especially the CF front lip. I think that's going in my ever growing list of mods.

Looking GREAT! I just ordered my windscreen over the weekend after riding in a friend's M4 vert with the wind screen installed. There was almost no turbulence in the cabin when the windows were up. I was sold instantly. Cant wait for it to arrive. I can say that its extremely overpriced... it should cost any more than 350-400. Pay to play i guess...

Also... what percentage of tints are those? And is the windshield tinted as well?

I have to order one too. Had it on my other M6, great addition to the car. Extremely overpriced though... I mean really ridiculous.

Hey thanks - the tints on side and back are the legal max of 33 or 35%, and the window shield is a light 20%. The windscreen is pricy but a must as it really works and I keep it in all the time. Best deal I could find was a promo on getbmwparts.com. I think it was $495 without bag as I still had the bag from my last six.
