My CLS63TT alternative: F13 M6 with HRE Wheels!!

Im really enjoying this car right now--- perfect balance of driving, sound, power, and luxury. Im sure Ill dump it soon but for now its in the stable:

So here is my M6- the springs were just released and they really drop the car right IMHO. Its not too slammed but its not short in the rear either. The wheels are of course from HRE and they are my 15th set. Im loyal to a great manufacturer but also a great group of individuals there who always put out amazing wheels with tremendous quality and bold looks.

Big ups to Serge, Nick,and Paris at Benzworks in Huntington Beach who always work on my Benzes but have the wrench skills to drop Bimmers and install exhausts too.

And EAS the awesome local Bimmer tuning and mod facility in Orange County which Im very grateful to have close to my house. Tom, Steve, Sam, and Anthony are excellent modding partners to my cause and Anthony sure can take great pics with little to zero planning.

20x9.5 and 20x11 HRE P47SC's in Satin Black on stock PSS rubber (255x35 and 295x30)
H&R F13 M6 specific springs 1 inch drop at each corner
Don Nguyen carbon fiber wrap rear spoiler
Dealer painted front and rear reflectors and wrapped my side gills and front grill (yes they had someone do it) since the front grill wasnt out in black yet.
Meisterschaft back exhaust (LXR mid pipe and rear cans)
IND rear emblem in black

Beautifully modified as usual my friend! I really like the look of the new M6 and think the interior is fantastic.

I'm counting four white cars from you now……R8 V10, M5, M6 and 911TT. Is that correct? If so, I need to send you a box of Crayola crayons one of these days to show you the possibilities.

E55 then E63, now back to an E55
Blue calipers with M logos set it off very nicely & are a great touch (esp against the white!)
Extremely tasteful bud
