M6

[1stSAGE]

Just saw one in person at my work's parking lot. Had an instant epiphany...

This thing is pretty damn sweet. I'll try to upload pix from my crappy camera phone.

There was one in front of eXtreme Performance a couple months ago, getting some blingy wheels at Wheel Works next door. The a$$hole driver parked it right in the middle of two parking spots. Well, not quite in the middle. He left enough space in one of the two spots for me to fit my Miata--I parked maybe an inch from his passenger door. From inside Navid's shop, I watched the owner when he came out. He didn't look amused.

Reminds me of that joke, "What's the difference betweena porcupine and a Bimmer?" (A: "A porcupine has pricks on the outside.")

I would've parked near the driver side to give him a hard time trying to get in

I really don't like the way the M6 looks. Too round and the rear trunk looks strange the way it sticks up. Makes me think of some kind of Audi TT/350Z hybrid. The 6 series looks pretty bland already, the M6 looks a bit more aggressive but nothing special. I'd take the M5 over it anyday. :)

My bad, it was a new M5 I parked next to. Haven't seen the M6 up close yet.

4000-lb coupe FTL.

M6 has a full carbon fiber roof. Still I'd take an M5 in white over any other car any day. Well except a GTR V-SPEC II.

Didn't say it was... Crikey, that's heavier than mah Ford truck.

Yay. Too bad they built the rest of the car out of depleted uranium or something like that.

Every website I have looked at lists a different weight... Maybe the BMW site includes big germans sitting in the front seats?

What part of "unladen" did you not understand, ja? :P

But what is the air speed velocity of an unladen Bimmer?

5! no 4.... 5!

Forget the new BMW M's. I hate everything about them. Crappy I-Drive system, SMG trannies that blow up, and their new ugly body designs. Chris Bangle FTL.

I'd take a Porsche 997 GT3 over an M6 anyday.

Nah the WORST part about any BMW are the bay area yuppie-lemming-tards who buy them because someone, somewhere, told them its the uber car ;-)

I just saw and heard one on Saturday. That V10 sounds sweet!
