M6 GC. You won't regret it. You only live once and if it is within your means, go for it. That smile you get everyday when you hop in your M6 is priceless. A friend of mine once said to me, "Driving an M6 while you're in your 30s is not the same as when you're 60s".

Absolutely true.

I had a 2012 M5 and hated the fact it was parked all winter. Which is why I went to the x6m then 650 GC.

Lowered on H&R springs. Can't get the alignment to spec though so the front tires are cupping already. Probably have 10-15,000 kms on them

If I'm keeping it I will like go with KW

Bmw i8 upper control arms are a direct fit for 640i. And are camber adjustable. Migth want to look into those as an alternative to kw coils. Turner has them at $600

Do you drive yours in the snow?

I've been doing some research and noticing some of the 550i guys are getting some pretty decent numbers. Sounds like the m5 downpipes and exhaust fit on the 550 and the part number for the 550 and 650 GC are the same!!

Sounds about rigth. Gc's are basically rebodied 5 series. Soooo in theory they should fit.

I would say hold off for another year, supposedly the M5/6 are going AWD, If that happens they will be nothing short of insane with the power they are making!

I like to consider the R63 a minivan not a wagon lol a 507hp Minivan!!! 1 of 5 in Canada might I add

Yeah I bought the gran coupe for 74 Canadian and with it being a US car and the US dollar so much stronger I can sell it after a year a break even or even come out ahead.

The R63 is likely gonna be a car I will buy(24,000) and keep for hauling the kids and driving around the city occasionally. Will likely buy something more exciting in the spring summer depending on business's

They are super rare. Only 100 sold in the NA market IIRC.
