    Like:

    - The color.

    - The rear wing: It helps hiding the original shape of the trunk.

    Don't like:

    - The price. I'd rather have a Ferrari 599.

    - The giant wheels with no body clearance.

    - The very concept of tuning what is already a carefully engineered vehicle.

    - The"vaporwareness" of it: no video means it did not happen...

    What's with the Photoshop job? I have a hard time taking these guys seriously if they're incapable of releasing actually photos.

    Make it a vinyl decal, stick it your car, and revel in the 228 mph top speed.

    Those headlights have always- and continued - to look like Chinese ripoffs tacked on at the last minute. They're just an odd, awkward shape, and a bit crooked...not a good look.


    That said, the bodywork on this particular 6 is an improvement (though those hood vents are annoying) and the cornflower blue is a gas.

    I actually like that color.


    Pruven Performance in Milford could build a faster M6 coupe for a lot less.


    Almost 500k for that, please. No one would pay that unless it was at gunpoint. Or maybe a scenario like this:


    We have your kids, if you want to see them alive, send us 500k, and we'll ship them back in a M6 coupe, no-no, you can keep the car.


    What's that Barnum, you said a sucker is born every minute.

    Yo listen up, here's a story

    About a little guy that lives in a blue world

    And all day and all night

    And everything he sees

    Is just blue like him

    Inside and outside


    Blue his house

    With a blue little window

    And a blue corvette

    And everything is blue for him

    And his self

    And everybody around

    'Cause he ain't got nobody to listen...


    I'm blue, da ba de, da ba die

    Da ba de, da ba die

    Da ba de, da ba die

    Da ba de, da ba die

    Da ba de, da ba die

    Da ba de, da ba die

    Da ba de, da ba die

    [repeat]


    I have a blue house with a blue window

    Blue is the color of all that I wear

    Blue are the streets and all the trees are too

    I have a girlfriend and she is so blue


    Blue are the people here that walk around

    Blue like my corvette, it's standing outside

    Blue are the words I say and what I think

    Blue are the feelings that live inside me


    I'm blue, da ba de, da ba die

    Da ba de, da ba die

    Da ba de, da ba die

    Da ba de, da ba die

    Da ba de, da ba die

    @elwood:


    They started with the E63, which is quite possibly the ugliest BMW coupe in the history of ever, then added side vents, fake hood vents, a spoiler, and painted it AMC Big Bad Blue.


    G-Power = fail.

    From this view, they appear to be too small and incorrectly placed to serve much good in the way of extracting excess engine bay heat.

    I never knew about the 503, though.

    @dmdukejr: @RoboRed is sipping a cup of tea while watching the world bu...: The 503 shared the same V8 powered drive train used in the 501/502 Baroque Angel sedan/saloon and the 507 sports car. The 503 also was available as a very pretty convertable.
