Quite a fun idea and a good way to engage in some self reflections. Google was a bit limited and selective on what it presented though:
MikeM6 is an established and highly active member of the PistonHeads motoring community. He has been a user on the platform's forums (frequently posting under the "General Gassing", "M Power", and "The Lounge" sections) for roughly 11 years, accumulating over 6,000 posts.
Insights and common themes from his history on the site highlight the following about him:
1. Ownership History & The "M6" Moniker As his username implies, he has significant experience with BMW's high-performance M division. He previously owned a BMW E63 M6 Coupe (the famous 5.0L V10 generation) for about four years. On the forums, he frequently shares practical ownership advice regarding this car, noting:
The Gearbox: He advises that the controversial SMG gearbox is highly engaging if kept strictly in manual mode and used on its fastest shift settings.
Running Costs: He has candidly pointed out the savage fuel consumption, mentioning that averaging 13 mpg was common during his ownership, though it could reach 20 mpg on a long motorway cruise.
Performance: He describes the V10 engine as a masterpiece that handles track days remarkably well for a large grand tourer, provided owners stay on top of preventative maintenance.
2. Perspectives on Wealth & Car Philosophy When participating in broader lifestyle discussions in The Lounge, MikeM6 leans toward a pragmatic and community-minded approach to car ownership. He has advocated that excess wealth should be shared rather than hoarded, suggesting that if someone buys a supercar, they should use it to share the experience with others rather than leaving it in a garage to collect dust.
3. General Forum Presence Motoring Advice: He frequently chimes in to help other enthusiasts. For example, he has warned younger drivers about track day insurance realities at the Nürburgring and shared practical warnings regarding car rental deposit traps abroad.
No-Nonsense Attitude: He often calls out poor behavior or overly critical tropes on the forum, once openly critiquing mainstream car review sites for utilizing lazy tropes and poorly regurgitating technical data.
I guess the username probably leads it down that path.
