While I think she must have bumped her head or been taken over by demons who am I to look a gift horse in the mouth lol?
So I guess the real question is from those who have driven both what way would you go? And is the competition package even worth it? All things considered I don't need the back seat is was cleared to not even have to put the kids in my car at all (she just got and X5) she saw Hunter5179's M6 and feel in love. I'm overseas and won't have a chance to drive them prior to ordering so just asking for a bit if advice from those who would know best.

Thanks in advance,
Jackson

like i said she must be feeling guilty.

But hey even if she was unfaithful and you had to endure a painful divorce and loose most of what you have worked so hard for, there is a silver lining......new car.

Only playing matey....lucky you and happy shopping.

lol she just said that it was nice and she wants me to be happy.. plus she just got a ring so maybe it's the excitment of that but either way I can't complain sh'es always been sweet and lets me do just about anything I can ask (in reason) Sh'es saying it's only $10,000 so why not? she just sent me a text and offered to even pay the extra lol..

lol, she just likes nice cars. I think she got spoiled seeing the modded ones and now she wants one as we speak I'm explaining to het that it will be at least another $20,000 to get close to the level of Hunter5179's. He response was as follows and I quote "What's your point?" I think you all might be right lol. Actaully she's always been like this. The only time she ever made said anything about money was recently I wanted some wheels and she had a fit they they were used from another member on the forum.

Since you dont need a back seat, get the M6 with CP.

I'm I missing something here?

Your location is Cambridge UK & assuming you have/had a Q1/Q2 2013 M5 rather than a 2013 MY M5, a generous trade value will be in the high £50Ks (assuming low miles, VGC & dealer willing to minimise mark up on PX)? If so, even with the current BMW UK support on M6/M6GC purchased via BMW select you will be looking nearer £17K (~$28K) price to change (for a car with zero options).

Obviously if you're based in US, then that would explain the price to change...

And on a less serious note, OMG that ring must have been expensive

Have you given any thought to the M6GT? I think it is a great compromise between the two.

Get the CP, a little more stiff and planted then the 2013 I have. Either or really I love the M6 but hate the lack of sun roof and backseats made for very very small people or children.

I haven't thought about a grand coupe. I may throw that out as an option. It's been our topic of discussion all day. She really likes the 6 we have an appointment Saturday to go see one at elms.
