I haven't checked out HD radio yet. That will be when I get back to the states. I have not rode in the 19's in this car, but all my other vehicles have been 20" or larger wheels. The ride is not harsh as other rides i have been in on 20"s, but I am in germany right now. The roads here are sooooooo much better than the avg city/highway back in the states. I'm kind of getting spoiled until I get back and play frogger with potholes all day. I plan on +1 the wheels so that should assure you that the ride is good. Now if you need more snow traction, then the 19"s with winter tires would be your choice.

r.e. the HUD, it has to be the new one. i.e. full color etc. The build your own shows the new HUD. If you go to build your own X5M for example it still shows the old version which is consistent with it being an 'e' series car.
If it turns out to be the old HUD then, ala F10 M5 lack of side bolsters, we would have serious grounds to complain. Also still keeping my fingers crossed that my nav will be the updated on mine as it's just waiting for a ride over here. THe lack of concrete information over this is driving me nuts... Nobody knows or sure. Last edited by V8; 10-10-2012 at 08:27 PM.. |

Very masculine yet elegant combination. I almost purchased a vert in the same setup with the moonlight top. Your color scheme looks even better in real life. Well done. Enjoy!

I think they will just sneak the new system quietly. Have the dealer just keep checking on the option code. When it changes from the 6NR they will be good.

Thanks. OC dealman has the moonlight top and it looks great on the SG. Hopefully it's clear today when I get my car back and I will take some better color balanced pics of the interior. The platinum is more like a silervy/dusty white than the tanish color in my pics. My camera is set up for warm tones.

Actually I was impressed and surprised a bit because from all videos and pics I ve seen so far, convertible version seemed theres almost no space there ! So thats good news for me . For a coupe the most important thing for me is to have enough space for 4 adults . I am just worrying about my kids (13 and 10 yrs respectively) , and as I am planning to use it at least 10 years , so I need to think what happens when they grow up ! your car is gorgeous too. I was in BMW Welt 3 weeks before and ı really liked the ambiance there. |

Thats why I wanted to hear the real experience. Another question if you dont mind, Id like to use M6 daily. I mean real daily even to go for a supermarket, would that be a problem do you think? And howmany miles or kms do you think a M6 motor will drive maximum under normal driving conditions? Possible to have around 200.000 kms? Thanks in advance and enjoy your new princess!! |

But as far as a daily driver, comfort wise I find it suitable for the task. I'm used to low profile wheels so I don't find the ride harsh or anything. The biggest thing is that it wants to goooooooo, so stop and go traffic isn't that fun. Also the turbo lag is very noticeable when in the lower transmission/gear shift settings. I haven't played with the higher ones as of yet but maybe this weekend. But when it's rolling the 105mph limit feels like 55mph and still pulls like 35mph. lol

Thanks. I didn't look at the previous models so I thought it would come completely debadged without the side gills or front grill. I like that clean look.

You have great taste, PrecisionP!
Related to the engine, I don't think you'll have any problems if the maintenance program is respected! Do you plan to try it on track, too? |

As far as the track, when I get back to the states I doubt it will see any track time. Maybe one quarter mile because I have always wanted to try it, but here in germany I do want to bless it on the ring for a few laps.

I have added a few more interior shots and will add some more of the outside today if it doesn't rain.

Truthfully I think the exhaust sound is enough for me. If I did add one of the aftermarket systems, I would get the milder version of their options. I only have 265 miles on it so the exhaust still hasn't built up enough carbon on it to settle into it's final tone yet.
