Careful with car shopping with friends as you might end up with one too. Happened to me.

Coat them with Opticoat and cleaning becomes a simple hose off.

Stunning! I never thought color matched wheels would look good (white on white) but damn I was wrong in this case! It looks so awesome! Good pick up!

Great looks Ice-- I too had an f10 M5 and f13 M6 at the same time and the M6 was always the head turner. Well played.

Appreciate it. I was in the same boat as many. Never seen white on white on the F10M5 and was afraid of the look. I think it came out well.

Thanks Vic. Definitely right on on the M6 headturner. Not as much love on the M5 in the street since you see too many 5 series BMWs around town. Loved looking at your M's especially your AW f13 M6 on HRE's

M6 has the ADV.1 10 deep concaves and actually had them on the M5 first.

Thanks! I am with you too on the 10 spoke design. I actually like the look of the ADV1's better. Gives a nice deep concave too.


NOW, YOU MAKE ME MORE CURIOUS ABOUT DRIVING THE M6…. is it that good? better than F10?

Better than the F10? Its all preference. I enjoy driving the M6 over the M5...just feels driver centric to me and doesn't feel big compared to the F10. I also like the aesthetic look to the 6 as well. You should go out and take a test drive in one. I did and ended up with one.
