I didnt take the risk with mine, it never moved for best part of a month, dont know what it is with my karma, but around about xmas each year time my cars are either having warranty work done or some twats dinged a bumper or both, so this year i played it safe and drove the 5 series around and guess what, yes you guessed it, so another holiday period driving a hired astra around that was surprising good !!

ps, it was my fault this year though !!

Exhaust is standard akra with carbon tips.
do you have a link or a part number for the M Performance diffuser? I cannot find it from the vendors here in the states

Recently I mentioned that I was looking for a M6 Grand Coupe. Unfortunately, I cannot agree terms with the ones I have been looking at.

I was wondering what happens to the cars unregistered just sitting at the dealers. Do you think at some stage they will simply sell them with stupid discounts? I mean there is a discount of £27k at the moment and they are still not shifting. 17/67 plates appear to be losing about £1k a month according to WBAC.

So here is a little update on what I've done

Wheels painted gloss black and fully reconditioned
Calipers reconditioned and painted acid Porsche green
All grills changed to gloss black
Rear windows tinted
Exhaust tips added and resonators taken out of exhaust
Carbon rear diffuser also added

Rear lights will be tinted also

Car is back in the tuners where I'm having downpipes fitted, also a stage 2 back end flash along with my Jb4 fitted also I'm having meth fitted which I'm really looking forward too? soooo I think eventually I will need my clutch upgrading looking for around 850bhp in near future

Not really been active on here, normally on other more UK based forums, I also run the BMW 6 series Enthusiasts group on FB.

Currently have F13 M6 since last June after having a 650i previously.
Gloss blacked the wheels, rear carbon diffuser fitted recently, carbon gear knob fitted, NBT screen trim and engine cover carbon dipped.

Retrofitted TV, Heated steering wheel and currently doing Night Vision 3 retrofit.

The pic was taken the campsite for Bimmerfest Europe last year an event I have attended with a BMW Enthusiasts club for the last 3 years.
It is also one of my favourite pics.

No real M6 forums in the UK, however if you fancy a club that does a few shows a year (including Bimmerfest Europe) and are a good set of people let me know.

Aha I knew I'd seen this numberplate before!

Just seen you featured in the video with that DJ.

Skip the video to 4:10, what exhaust setup are you using? I need to upgrade mine and this sounds incredible!

What's odd is that the part of the video clip shot in the car park (and the photos on this thread) show the M6 as RHD (also when sitting at the filling station)
but when out on the road against the GTR it appears as a LHD car.

How come?
