OMG I never liked the 6 series before but in the last couple of months I have been in love with them. wish I can have one, but maybe 1 day I will.

Do it, the 6 series is a gorgeous car, especially in vert configuration. Very nice color combo as well. Plus six speed transmission? What the hell you waiting for..?

black would (probably) be the only color I'd buy with that car, only because the soft top would match....

I still don't like the new 6. Not that it matters (I want a Miata as a toy) but a 6-series convertible is quite possibly one of the girliest cars out there. I just can't get over how it looks.

yeah, dont mind the coupe, as the window lines and sloped top look sex. but with the vert, theres not much to concentrate on except for the ugly headlights and grille.

i never really liked the new 6 series either. The hardtop looked better but still kinda awkward. Of course, actually driving it might change my mind....

I could get my hands on another M6 Convertible Demo, I don't know much about it, but I do know it has somewhere between 1000-2000 miles on it, but the fact that it's an SMG just about kills it for me, not to mention I don't think it's going to be anywhere close to what I can afford.

My friend/BMW rep is going to keep a look out for another crazy deal on a demo for me. I'd much rather a 3 series (28 or 35) or M3 4 door, coupe or convertible in stick. We'll see...

And as for the 650, nothing much happened as of yet with it being the weekend, but the person that I sold it to questioned if he would get approved, and would take it if he did get approved (He's partial to the fact that it has a 6 speed but it overlooking that because it's such a good deal), I got a voicemail tonight from my rep saying the application was approved, so it looks like the 'vert is one step from being sold....we'll see for sure on Monday!

They do....but these cars aren't classified as used. They still have MSO's (Manufacturer's Certificate of Origin - Don't ask why it's an "MSO" when it's spelled "MCO" ), not titles. They were never registered. They just have a few miles on them...

@ spending $26,400 to "borrow" a used M6 for 24 months. sounds "N* Rich" to me...
