Doesn't look like Interlagos Blue to me. confused More like Individual Onyx Blue from the pics. Lovely combo with the interior colour.

Looks like the car is still on its suspension blocks used for shipping/transit!!!

It's probably the colour.

I think it's Monaco blue(not Interlagos as stated in the advert), which is IMO a rather lacklustre shade, and doesn't do the M6 justice. The chrome window surrounds don't help either.

I think the car has been specced to be very understated, I'm surprised it hasn't been de badged.

Interested to hear the highlights (or lowlights) for why. Along with the V10 M5, these sit quite high up my list for a new car in a couple years time.

Interlagos it might be. I remember seeing a Z4M in that colour on a very grey misty day and I couldn't believe how flat it looked.

When the suns out though..

Nice motor that one..

I've got chrome around the windows of my M5 and I love it. It was an option.

That's definitely not interlagos... mine was interlagos and it's much more of a mid blue - that one is a standard drak metallic blue.

The whole car just doesn't look like an M6 - I don't see the point

But it is, isn't it, according to kds keltec?

Wouldn't really want to go through it on here to be honest.

I just had a bad experience with them, and wouldn't buy anything from them again. You may get lucky, if you so wish of course.
