I doubt I'll buy another M5 unless the LCI changes are compelling. I'm nearly done retrofitting seats with side bolsters to the car. Just waiting on the last parts to arrive.

You are like a one-man factory! Unbelievable.
I had 2 issues with the M6 seats - they are noticeably firmer, and narrower. The size and shape is a bit like our old F10 seats (e,g the bolsters are less effective than on the M5 (if they fit your body) and M3), but the firmness level is very similar to an M3.
I would consider the M6 a noticeable step down in comfort with these seats. Otherwise it is a fantastic car in Coupe form - feels a bit lighter and slightly easier to manage on track (I spun the M6 less than the M5). That said I think the longer wheelbase and increased weight of the GranCoupe will take away these advantages.
