Raced an M6 today.
The wife sent me out to the store so I took the LOOONG way looking for a possible race. I happened to have my Drag Radials mounted up
Not having any luck, then in the distance... A maroon M6 super dark tint. I pull up beside about 50 and he does the three honk deal. Its been a long time since I raced like this, usually I just rent the Dragstrip in Orlando, but the roads were clear and I could not help myself. We took off on the third honk, and I pulled about a car on him and let up about 80 or so.
Then we both get a light. His dark tinted window had to come all the way down for me to see his head barely up above the body line.
We take off on the green and I mash down too fast on the throttle and the car starts sliding, but still pull a car or car+ on him.
I let up feeling satisfied and he keeps going.
Oh well, it was a nice little race.

50 = a so so powerband for the E (bottom of second gear), too and the M6 was in prime powerband in 2nd gear. Th M's are OVER-RATED from "speed" (period) and really E-Z to kill on the street (dead-stops, especially runs from 30 MPH and under). The torque will get it out in front E-Z and if a M driver has a "itchy trigger foot" and gets a jump on you, the E will reel them in. The funny thing is the SMG supposedly shifts in "milleseconds". Interesting, for the "old school" slide and glide 5 speed auto does not seem to miss a beat in the shifting department.
Nice run!

Is your car bone stock or do you have mods? If so what mods?

Stock,
Well it has the PTE Thermostat for the last few days.
I have an ASP Pulley to install.
Im leaving the drag radials on to get a baseline though at the track, then I will go back after the Pulley.
I will do a Dyno before/after as well if I can.
