M6 Gran Coupe - Atlantis Blue (UK)

My F06 M6 Gran Coupe Competition pack was collected on Tuesday.

So far - love it ... feels more exclusive and refined than the M5. Not a fan of the frameless windows mind.

Usually I would factory order a car but the M6 was not possible, infact there are only 4 or so new ones left in the UK for sale.

My car has:

Individual Atlantis blue paint
Platinum merino full leather
Comp pack
B&O
Heated rear seats
Surround view
Piano black trim ( no carbon - yet )
Reversing camera (which is quite cool - comes out under the BMW badge on rear)

Lots of changes on the go, some have already been done.

Here is collection day...



















MOD 1 - Window tints
Rear windows as per Sun protection glass tint, fronts in clear UV.







MOD 2 - Black grills

Before:


After:



MOD 3 - Carbon fibre shifter

Fairly easy to install, pull the glued on legend off undo a torx bolt, remove it all and replace with the M Performance kit.














MOD 4 - Carbon wing mirrors

Quite annoyingly I broke the drivers side glass doing this (and yes I was gentle), £366 to replace!






What's next

M Performance exhaust with carbon tips
Vorsteiner VFF 103 21" Carbon grey wheels
Black side gills (EAS)
Black M6 badge (EAS)
Pedals (M Performance)
Vorsteiner rear carbon diffusor
Vorsteiner rear boot carbon spoiler
Vorsteiner front carbon splitter
Wrap door handle chrome inserts black

I'm toying with a matt PPF beforehand.

Wheels on order...



Bootlip on order...





Front lip on order...



Diffusor on order...



Side gills...



Rear badge...




Overall package...




Some questions...

Any recommendations for wheel spacers on M6 with VFF 103 21"? Are they needed

Will the car want lowering with the VFF 103?

Thanks

Mat
