Will I regret not getting M6 GC?

I really love the look of the M6GC especially with the SMB color.

However, I am little concerned about the attention the car would bring if I go with the M6 with that color.

What do you guys think? Will I regret if I go with M5?

Dude, SMB M6 Gran Coupe = instant rock star status. I would love the attention, others not so much. You have to decide for yourself.

Perhaps. But if you get the M6GC, get it in Frozen Grey with Opal White Leather.

That's the way Ned Stark would drive it. Winter is coming.

M6 GC is my favorite M car. If given the choice, I would regret getting the M5.

Don't think it's that black and white.

I would take my Frozen Grey Winterfell Edition M5 Individual over a standard M6GC any day. if you saw it parked next to a San Marino Blue M6GC, most people would pick the M5 Winterfell Edition. An M6GC Winterfell would be a different matter.

Both cars are great machines because the S63B44TU engine under the hood...colors is just a matter of preference, for me M5 in MCB, M6GC in SMB or SO...there is something very appealing about an M6 GC with a 6MT...

+1 I like that combo. Blue on brown with white CS is a good combo.

Sit in the M6 GC and drive it. If it's not too small in the cabin for you then go for it. If it is, then M5.

M6GC is way hotter than the M5, although both are great.
