one thing don't like bout my M6
i drove a 745i for 10 years, sometimes using one foot to drive and sometimes i use two...without thinking...meaning sometimes right foot for gas and break and sometime using my left foot for breaking...
now in the M6 the break and gas are soooo close and off to the right i can never use my left foot to break. i'd gues it's designed that way for a manual and they don't have to re-tool. btw, the M6 is a just a bit harsher ride (yes in confort) with a bit more rode noise than my 10 year old 745...but i like it! |

M6 pick up stixx
I have been driving M vehicles for many years. I went out test driving a 650i Convertible and a M3 Convertible over the same road surface here in California.
The M3 drove fine but it did have lots of road noise, a kind of drone I could hear from the interior on this one length of freeway. Then we drove the 650i over the same length of freeway and the road noise was gone. the 650i was comfy and wrapped me in luxury, and sport. Although the M6 Appeals to me for many aesthetic reasons, I feel that a 650 feels better to me on the Butt-O-Meter. I am 49 now and I guess I would rather have more comfort than performance however, if you want to trade your M6 for my 650 I would still do it...lol!

Do you have any pics? Also, Is BMW giving this school for purchasing an M vehicle?
When I purchased my 2003 M5, I was graciously sent to Spartanburg South Carolina for the 2 Day M school there... I remember winning all the races even though i had never formally raced before. I Still have the Certificate they gave to us. Fun stuff.. Can't wait to do it again

As for the M-school, BMW stopped providing it to M-purchasers in Oct 11 for some reason. When I inquired about it (I was pretty disappointed as I found this out after I had already completed my purchase) the representative informed me that BMW was making so much on paying customers and the comped M buyers were setting back the paying customers, they decided to accomodate the purchasers. Nevertheless, I am undeterred. I will purchase it if I have to. I am on a waiting list. I have been called up once but it was too short notice. I remain encouraged. |

atachments
If you know the location or "File name," on your computer, you sinply hit either POST NEW THREAD, or REPLY and after you type in your message, and BEFORE you hit SUBMIT, you click on, "MANAGE ATTACHMENTS." At that point a POP-UP window will appear that asks you to, "BROWSE" to the location on your computer where your FILE or Picture is located. It will sometimes have a .JPG at the end of the file name. If you need more help, you can PM me and I can walk you thru it over the phone while your on the computer...
I miss the M-school, what does it mean, "Setting back the paying customers?" I mean tradition should carry on...Right? ttys

Thanks for the assistance. I'm almost there. Now I am trying to figure out how to resize the jpegs to fit the allowances. Windows 7 is annoying in this regard.
I certainly agree. Tradition trumps. I really find it hard to believe BMW would give up the comped M-school for money paying customers. I got time. I'll wait. From what I hear it is worth it. JAB |
