So after a "nationwide mailing/answering few days.
I'm in.
Car arrives 1st September, all extras + Comp Pack, stuck to the 343M 20" wheels as they are the lightest.
Alpin White Sakhir Leather.
Should look the Dogs

The M5 is good but the M6 GC CP is a big step up IMO.

Just checked and with not all the options ticked you can get to £125k.....

I went for this spec.

Sun-Pro Glass
Rear View Camera
Surround View
M-Multi function Seats
Headed rear Seats
Speed limit display
Comp Pack
steering wheel heating
High gloss shadow line
COMFORT ACCESS
Service Pack

Could be one or two more bits Price £109290:00 + all the on the road crap which is about £2K+ with road tax.

PS) did not go for the CP wheels, to heavy, so 343M 20" Forged is what I ordered.

Looks a good spec, the only thing I would of added is the soft close doors.

Great feature with children, stops them slamming doors....

My youngest is 25 years old now , keeping her in is not desired as such
She's the reason for four seats, but having said that I have warmed to the GC over the coupe TBH.
After driving one for a few days the size just "disappears", it's only 3.8" longer and 0.3" wider than the LCI M5, so nothing really to over come.
The shape just to me anyway looks so much better that the 5.

Yeah I just can't get over the uncomfortable seats. BMW couldn't be bothered to homologate comfort seats on the M6GC because the small sales volume didn't justify the cost. The higher price should have justified the cost!

Hopefully in the UK this won't be an issue.
