Saw the 2013 M5 and M6 coupe this morning...
I was at the W in Austin, TX, this morning and saw these two beauties pull up for tonight's official VIP unveiling. Snapped a quick pictures before they covered up the vehicles. Enjoy.
The color on the M6 is "Sakhir Orange" from I understand. Looks amazing under the bright Texas sun. Took a few more pictures after they started detailing the M6... |

No, the BMW M team is here. I asked and the event starts at 7pm. I'll be back with my proper DSLR.

Hate to say it but Im kind of tired of seeing MCB. Great color - but every time I open a pic hoping to see a different color its MCB. I need to see more Alpine white!

It's nice to see a real world pic of sakhir. The color is definitely growing on me.

DAMN, I work 8 blocks from The W Austin. I really hope these will be at the M Owner's Event at BMW of Austin on Saturday. How were guests for this VIP event tonight selected?
Also, I'm surprised the M6 is a coupe rather than convertible considering the latter debuts first and would be popular in Texas summers. However, I think the coupe looks better -- never liked convertibles with the top up, especially soft tops.

What's the interior trim in that M6? It looks like some sort of carbon fiber weave, but I don't see that as an option on the US M6 Convertible configurator?
EDIT: Never mind, seems to be the default trim, which isn't shown as an option on the configurator (so you can't ever get back to it if you choose something else, weird). I have to say I wasn't a fan of the E63's CF trim and I'm not feeling this one either. Also, what's with piano black not being offered? I think it'd look sexy in the M6.
