This will be no different than the M6 Competition Edition. It will not sell. We have had ours for the past 6 months.

I would take Base M5 + Competition Package + Individual color instead of this "limited edition". A lot cheaper and you get individual color of your choice.

Unfortunately, a car that sells doesn't hang around for six months. There's nothing special about it. Our M6 CE is an M6....with M Performance parts and a modest bump with a price tag of $150,000. You have options in that price range.

At least now it has the M driver's option, don't think it was available for the US market in the past for the F10 M5? Not that I encourage people to drive over 150mph.....

Those must be some really special wheels to be able to fit 20 inch tires on 19 inch rims.
