Haha, right. I still recall in late 2013, seeing the F06 M6 at a dealership showroom floor when I was getting my M3 serviced. It was gorgeous, Silverstone, 443s, CF interior. I sat in, inhaled the Merino leather, let the smell percolate thru my lungs, grabbed the steering wheel and just thought, one day, some day, the car will be in my financial means.

A sales guy came by, poked his head in and asked if I needed help or had questions on the car. I said "yeah, let me run home and find $130k under mattress so I can buy this". He laughed. He knew the car was for the few...

Lord and behold in 2017, I was sitting in my very own, gently used, unmolested lease returned '14 GC ZCP with an Akrapovic and $10k of dealer add-ons, and I've been in the honeymoon period ever since.
