Took my 35i in to the main dealers for its first MoT today and during the wait for them to do the work went for a browse around their used cars. Spotted an M6 Gran Coupe with the Competition Package (575 HP), headup display, Bang & Olufsen High End surround sound, rear view camera + surround view, soft close doors, comfort access etc., etc. After a 20 minute test drive that was it! Trading in my 2018 440i which I bought in August and only has 2340 miles on it which with 326 HP is itself a very nice car but I couldn't resist the M6! Just hope that I don't come to regret it but will definitely be keeping the Z4!

Awesome!!! :)

Edited to say...I then looked at the photo and immediately recognised Rybrook Shrewsbury's plot! :)

In fact...edited again to say...I'll be at Rybrook's launch day for the new Z4 with my Alpina on display this Saturday if you want to pop down.
The day will be at Shrewsbury Football club and if they haven't already invited you (which they should have for buying your M6!) and if you register and bring your driving licence you can get to drive all the new models.

I did get an invitation but had to decline as I have a meeting in the morning and then it's 6-Nations rugby! You're right though in saying that the M6 with the competition package is pretty awesome! :)

I can see why you went for it - I think the 6 Gran Coupe looks fantastic! :thumbsup:

And the M6 version must go like stink too - a great combination!

M6 is way better than a 440i.

Just hope the negative equity doesn’t bite you.

Regrettably, she passed away last year but she left me some money, so I guess that this is her gift to me!
