The new grill is doing wonders, hope it will be standard on new Ms, the Led lights stand even more than usual, only think i am not convinced yet by is the winglets integrated in thhe front bumper.

Don't like the golden calipers. They should have left the blingbling to MB.

Gold = special = awesome

BMW is about bling bling too these days anyways...

Any banks north from my location I can rob? I need to have this car, no - really!

Reminds me of a story a BMW dealer in South Africa told me when I was test driving an M3. The dealer said some guy came in wanting to test drive a new M3, half way through the test drive the guy pulled out a gun and told the dealer to get out. No need to rob the bank when you can rob BMW direct...

Pray no bank does get robbed or else you will be the Police's prime suspect. lol


P.S.
On a more serious note I notice that like the RS4 Avant BMW have yet to officially release this car's weight, any ideas as to why this is?

I only looked at the UK site which regarding the weight states TBA.

Maybe the final spec of UK cars having been decided which might explain the lack of a weight figure, can you explain why it's absent there?

It's possible to build the M6 Cabriolet at BMW bilar : BMW Sveriges webbsida and BMW UK | Homepage.

Taken by me in Geneva.

What a FULGY engine cover. The very only weak point of the M cars. What´s the point of adding this stupid piece of plastic?

 

[Beemer B773ER]

Thanks for the photos Betty!

What's your opinion of the car having seen it in the metal now ? (in terms of design and build quality, and compared to other cars on the show floor)

 

[speed_kills]

Think so too. Just show the whole engine.

 

[Beemer B773ER]

Same look as the M5.

Looks fantastic in the flesh. Unfortunately it wasn't possible to look inside on the Saturday.

The orange is great, I prefer it to Valencia.

 

[mini_cooper4]

Betty, does it look more like red irl or it looks orange ?
I love it exactly the way it looks in your pictures but I know you've played with the colors a little
A red BMW GC (4er or 6er I don't care) isn't far away from my dream family car...

It really does look good. Better proportions than the 6er GC, which I actually thought looked odd in real life. The LED headlights are probably the best design I have seen on any car. The Sakhir Orange is a great colour too and the one I would choose.

BUT, you have to remember it is significantly more expensive than the M5 it was parked next to. I started to question it then. If they'd given the M6 more power and added things like LED headlights as standard, then maybe the price would be justified. As it stands, I would have the M5 and save myself a lot of money......and have a more practical car.

Betty, does it look more like red irl or it looks orange ?

In real life it is definitely orange.

 

[Human]

Nice photo's and a great contribution to the thread, thanks Betty.

A very unique color, Sakhir Orange. I am one of those who prefer red only on a Ferrari, yet this Orange fits this Beemer rather well.

you have probably missed a lesson from martinbo about these things

 

[Deckhook]

Regarding the engine cover, I would imagine the heat will be intense with those two turbos there and the cover is as much to protect hands among other things from those hot parts as anything else. Though it's not the prettiest of items I have to admit.

Glad to hear that's your take on it in real life, as in pics I just don't get some of the positive comments on here expressed about it.... it looks terribly awkward and not right IMO.

The Coupe on the other hand, magnifique!
