Finally got the chance to post my F13 M6
I purchased a 2015 Alpine white M6 competition package convertible. It took a few weeks for it to actually settle in lol with few sprint drives for it to really hit me. This car is absolutely amazing!! The luxury coupled with the power is exhilarating.
Here are the pics: |

Your first mod: get rid of that grill and get the black grill.

something is odd about that grill. This is my OE grill on my M6. Notice the slats are also chrome:
I have since changed my grill to the gloss black double slats. But I'm not so sure it looks better now. I almost prefer the chrome. I think the chrome looks good on certain color cars like SSII and maybe AW here. Here's my current setup:

No, keep that grill - the black fins look sporty and the chrome surround ties in the chrome on the side grills and door handles.

GC has chrome vertical slats. The F12 and F13 have chrome around the outside and black slats. Quite why they made that distinction I have no idea. |

BMW has does it before. On the E70 X5 LCI, the 35d and 50i got titanium slats vs chrome. The subtle differences are huge to the discerning eye IMO. I'm sort of liking the chrome slats on the GC now...conflicted as I spent a lot of money and time installing the gloss black ones.

The outer trim rings are removable, so if you can pick up a set that has the black rings or even a set that has broken tabs, you can pull the rings off and swap them out as the tabs to hold it onto the bumper cover are on the grill portion, not the rings. It's just a pain in the arse to get your hand between the cover and the scoops behind the grills to release the tabs from the cover - do not yank them out!

I have a AW GC and I swapped out the grills for all black, I also wrapped the side marker section that was chrome in gloss black, as well as the chrome strip in the door handles. Looks pretty awesome IMO and was fairly easy to do.

If I had a Black Sapphire Metallic, a Tanzanite Blue or Azurite Black F06 I'd definitely keep the chrome grill. Otherwise I'm not so sure. <sexual noises> |

Haha, I have the same combo at home. I have a E70 X5 AW, like my M6
