What's up bro, you might want to consider an 07 or later model. Before my purchase, I test drove several 06 including my friend's M5 and the SMG shifting was too jerky. Good luck, it's a fun car with a different attitude!

As I mentioned in your PM, you need to drive the car first. Just find a local one that you can drive. The M6 is not for everyone, it requires one to be involved 8/10ths or more and the down low tq is just not that prevalent.

I think this car is not bad looking but Im not a fan of the rear diffuser. The wheels look great but your performance will suffer from a dig due to weight and increased rolling diameter/inertia.
