I agree, I'm waiting for ACS rear spoiler for the trunk.
Thanks Rock! You have a FINE BEAST yourself!

Vic55 - awesome TT - if you really are going to part company, PM me - definitely interested.
Rgearding the M6 - amazing car - absolutely stunning, and that unusual angle photo below for the first time reveals that it owes a few syling cues to the Z8. And the sound of that V10 is friggin off the charts. Take one for a test and let us all know what its like

If you MUST get a 6 series M or otherwise ... please get the ACS wing or AC Schnitzer... makes the rear look MUCH better.

You name it i've had it or got it...
m6 is a great car...brakes are great...handling is great with steering response etc. the interior is good. styling i personally am a fan of. not a lot of torque but still decent. the top end is great. not sure what you are really looking for...but if 20k was not an option to you...step up the the new 997 turbo. has the blistering performance porsche is known for...but the interior and drive are a lot better suited for daily driving needs. the only thing i find annoying about my 997 is the pccb...they freaking squeal all the time like a pig when they aren't under hard braking. i speak from my personal experience owning all of these cars.

I like the M6 in regards to driving it and thats about it, in the city it has no ***** compared to your 996 or E55. As for looks I actually canceled my M5 because i didnt like the looks and got myself an E63. The rear of the M6 is just awfull. BMW just doesnt have that exotic image.
Hey why not pick up a nice Z8? My opinion this car still looks cool compared to the crazy styling they use today.
One car nobody here mentioned and not sure if you can find one to drive where you are is the Porsche Cayman S with a 3.8 liter RUF conversion. One of the sickest toys i ever drove. I think a few guys are making these for the US market.

It does sound great with an eisenmann exhaust and is fast on the top end.

I think this thread is irrelevant to the OP at this point.
Vic recently relayed some information to me in a pm. I hope he does not mind me sharing it.

Rock my friend, I've recently had an epiphany and my life is about to change. I will be selling all of my worldly possessions and moving to Jakarta Indonesia. I will spend part of my time there helping villagers in some of the remote jungles. ( I'll be teaching knitting and kite building) My other time there will be spent surfing. As you know, over the last couple of years surfing has become a very important part of my life and I can think of no better place to be for next massive tsunami wave.
Take care,
Vic55

You'd have to shell out more cash... but you'd get more car. You want an upgrade, not a BMW.... :/
(please don't hurt me - bmw makes fantastic cars).

Actually the M6 has double-piston swing calipers. And I am speaking from personal experience. The M6 has better brakes then my CLS55. The M6 brakes are great, so are the M5's.

And yeah, I'm pissed that I just read through those 2 pages and in the end, found out its over a year old. I should really start looking at dates...
