  BMW M6 & 172 Phase 1
Gave both cars a quick clean over weekend so took a few photos. Clio is very much work in progress and will have some big changes over the next few weeks :)

It's stripped out so probably a bit higher at the back than standard, very high though! Coilovers next week :)

Bitter old tart! At least you admit silver is the best colour for the ph1 ;)

Cheers mate. Standard it is exactly what I wanted from a car. Epicly fast, comfortable, reliable and every toy you could imagine. Handles surprisingly well for such a big car too, hides it's size well. Warranty is a must, for the money it's piece of mind and if you can't afford it you really shouldn't be looking at running an M6. It's A LOT more expensive to run than any other M Car i've owned, by a long way.


Budgie, thanks. 172 is going in to see Tom at the weekend for some new bits and pieces :)

No doubt and i agree.

Are you still servicing through BMW, or Inde?

I do like them, but i think it's the noise moreover that i love, then the car itself! And for another 8k over mine for an older car...hohumm! Dunno like!

You going to mod it at all? Gruppe M and Kressieg exhaust! ;)

Servicing through BMW, I never used to with previous, but just want this car to remain standard and FBSH. Should help with resale/residules a bit.

The noise as standard is lovely, but the sound of some of the aftermarket exhausts (Eisenmann/Tubi etc) actually give me wood. Stupidly expensive though and I think I will keep it standard and mod the Clio :) The sound of the V10 in first and second actually sold the car for me. It's a car that looks MUCH better in the flesh than in photo's/TV

Aye, my neighbours got a 645i in black with black grills, looks lovely. Evil infact! Also prefer his wheels, (Non M) There's an M6 in Aberdeen with an exhaust that makes it sound like a transit! Terrible!!!

Good call tho! :)

i was sat behind an M6 once on the M6... it floored it, i was sick.

true story.

I can well beleive it, my friend has a Focus RS and was waiting in gear behind me and I just drove away from him like he hadn't even accelerated. Said he felt sick afterwards :)

It actually pulls just as hard in 4th and 5th as it does in 2nd and 3rd, truely amazing... and licence losing!
 
can imagine, i mean i run a quick stg2 megane and i wasnt going any, even if i would the difference would have been scary. absolute monsters i cannot lie.

only thing that pts me off is i was coming from leeds once and two "ya-gets-mee's" were actually racing an M5 and M6 on a busy motorway, it was embaressing. regardless two great machines you got there, lowered i'll even comment on the clio too lol

thanks for making me feel inadequate!!!1! ;)
