Curious to know why you went with the M6 over the C2S. I am extremely torn - I orginally wanted an M6 but because of the transmission I went with the M5. Now that I have taken the hit on the M5 I am thinking of keeping it and adding a C2S or... just do the trade in for the M6 because my garage spots are really limited.
