You’re making me regret not buying an M6 Gran Coupe. I’ll just pop outside and count the parking dents on the bumpers of my wife’s F Pace until I feel better. It’s quite cathartic, a little like counting sheep :D

The M4 is Sakhir Orange (like the M6). M4s are absolutely stupid money ATM

It makes me giggle thinking of your 'shaguar' all beat up because your lovely wife is a lunatic at parking :lol:
All good things come to those who wait. I'm really impatient which explains a lot.

It’s not her fault, how can anyone park safely when they’re distracted by parking sensors and reversing cameras?!

    I also love the M5 and the M6, however these modern day cars are so bloody big that they won’t fit in my double garage due to the length. I’m not going to buy an expensive car that I cannot park it somewhere safe and secure overnight, it’s very annoying! Does everyone else have the same problems with the ever increasing size of every new model of car being released by BMW?

    I’m pretty sure I didn’t say any of that! I prefer the blue for a big car like the M6. Orange is better for small cars like this:

    There’s something very odd with the quoting system. If I try to quote the Ole Git in my response, what I write is attributed to him.

    Move! :D :poke:
    My double garage is actually quite long for a modern house, but an M6 is so wide I would have to fold the mirrors to get it through the door which is not ideal!
    I am looking to move house (again) next year and I want to find somewhere either with a small barn or space to build a huge garage.

    Snap, the one thing I did not get was a garage, a drive for 12 or 13 cars but not the key thing I wanted :headbang:

    We’re house hunting too at the moment and my only criterium is a garage big enough at least three cars. I have ambitions for more toys that I won’t be able to afford if we move :rofl:

    I'm biased but I love that colour and my M4 is in San Marino Blue. :thumbsup:

    That M6 is my favourite colour combo, however I have the boring black leather in the M4 though!
