I have just had my M6 detailed and some work done on the Carbon roof, pillars and wheels. Pretty happy with the results, the carbon roof now looks unbelievable







I can't believe I missed the recent BMW meet, I only got the car in May and was too late to apply for a place on the list. Didn't know wether I could just turn up or not?

Lovely!

The M6GC has got to be, by far, the best looking BMW on sale currently.

If only it wasn't so big, I would have been tempted ages ago.

Completely agree! Fantastic looking car! Alas, 5 cm too long to fit my garage...

Great looking car, but a beast size wise.

New model must be due soon?

I agree on all accounts. I think its size is part of what makes it such a head turner.....

I know this as the car allowance on Brittany ferries is only 5m for a car....luckily no one had a tape measure. It is longer than my parents Volvo V70 estate which seems insane

Agreed its very long....the extra length is right up front compared to the F10 M5. Front axle overhang essentially. 110mm longer.

Apparently its 13mm narrower than the F10 M5.

I have had my one since December 2015 and put 23K miles on it and live in Central London.

Its really not the end of the world and I hustle it through the tightest of spaces and park it within any parking bay with no problems at all, but it does take up the whole bay smile

Surround view is excellent too.

Hats off to you for using it in London. The surround view does get used a lot

Beautiful looking M6 from the owner of a 640 GC venturing onto the M side for a moment!

In regards to the 6 line up pretty much the official line from BMW is no direct plan to replace it. The only "6" series will be the 6GT (5GT with a 6 instead of the 5 as in the previous gen).

Pretty much the direct replacement for the F12/F13 will be the 8 series G platform cars. Where that leaves the 6GC is interesting I have heard mixed reports some say it will live on as another 6GC, to it not being replaced at all...
