M6 is gone... King is here :D

The lease for M6 was up and it's time for new baby... She is an Austin Yellow M4 Coupe with Manual Transmission and Competition Package... Not as luxury, comfortable and powerful as M6 but a fun car
Manual transmission on this car is fantastic and due to longer gearing (especially first gear), the launch is more manageable than DCT...

These 20" rims look nicer than the other M3/M4 rims IMO... I would replace the 285 rear tires by 295 later on.

Congrats! Hope you enjoy it! Let us know how it goes long term if the smaller nimbler package makes up for the lack of luxury and HP. I thought about this switch but in the end just couldn't do it.

Honestly, nobody should have any reason to hate the M4. It's a nice car by any standard! I think u only had some issues with some of the M4 drivers

Next M6 should be a blast according to rumours. It's supposed to be much lighter than the current 5-derived chassis. Beware, u might love this current more nimble chassis too much to wanna change!

Nah he'll miss the B&O too much and will want to go back to an M6.

I actually missed the M5 power, but over time the driving experience trumps the power. I'm a fan of usable power vs. spinning wheels fighting to keep traction. I told my BMW dealer they really need to step up on the next M5/6. After 7 or more BMW's the M4 could be the last pending when the Panamera GTS comes to life. The fit and finish on the P cars are well done in this segment.

The M4 is a fun car to drive, but BMW failed on the sound so it just grew on me over time. It's nicer with the top down! The last option on my list to purchase will always be the radio, and soft door closing to me are just more things to break unless I'm driving a cushy S CLASS or 7 series.

Exactly
I drove the car about 500 miles all the way from SoCal to Bay area in North. It's a real fun car especially with the manual transmission...Did I miss the M6? Ofcourse I did... Did I regret? Noway...I was with that F13 body since September 2011 (two 650i and one M6) and it was time to change... KING is a good replacement for now IMO...

Haha... My M6 didn't have B&O and KING has HK...
To be honest with you I missed full leather and S63tu
No doubt I will go back to next M6 in couple years... I guess 2018-19
