mlai, to be unique, you need custom design wheels. Your should leave your MS8 to bros here.

I am interested in your 3D Design pedals if you don't want them. hehe.

Too bad no one has 550 here, otherwise you should swap your M kit to the bros. No added value if you trade in or sell your car anyway.

What about non-frozen paints? Can spend a long time flipping through the colors with the sales

Don't think the 550 m kit will fit the 520 anyway.

went to look at the 6GC today...not sure about the colour, but the rear is surprisingly spacious. way better than I expected, 1.1m seems a bit steep compared to CLS though

Went to see it this week. Not for me. Think both the style and space is compromised putting it neither here nor there. And at the 1-odd mm mark, you're either better paying slightly more for an all out performer, or go less for practicality. I'm going to the dark side for my next family car. Best performance with max space... the ultimate family car.

Right F06 is not for everyone, not like the F10.

You got it right. F10s are so well rounded the overall package is hard to fault.

But BMW sure has marketed its percieved innovation and exclusivity well.

RS6 wagon is cool. I wonder if there will be an F10 M5 wagon coming out.

Went and saw the 6GC. Stunning car but I expected more. May be it's the interior, not drastically improved from the F10, white should be more stunning. The rear center seat is really un-sittable, quite ridiculous unless you wanna seriously hurt your groin. Should just make it a four seater. Don't like the frozen paint with the 6GC either, this car should be more elegant with glossy paint. I like the frameless windows, just worry that the fastenings will go loose after time. That was what happened to my vert perviously. The car front is quite long, not sure how it maneuvers in narrow driveways. May be the IAS will help.

Anyway, excellent car. Certainly not for the common market. Resale may be an issue but with mlai bro's deep pocket and frequency of car swapping, these minor issues should not be a problem for him.

I saw it yesterday too... still thinking it should come with big iDrive screen as std for a car over $1M.

Rear seats are quite spacious and I like the M wheels!!

Sadly no there won't be a M5 wagon this generation. Read somewhere on the M5 forum that there was an announcement before.
