Looking for M owners in London, UK and a pasture for 507 horses

[M9]

Got my M6 not that long ago and had the E46 M3 for a while before that. If any of you are from London you would know what a nightmare it is to drive here, certainly not the best place for a 507 hp beast. Should you gently tap the throttle you already hit the national speed limit, and if you dare to go beyond there is a speed camera or an unmarked police car waiting just for you, you can lose the licence in no time. And I am not even talking abou the roads that are barely wide enought for a dog and bumps and potholes that you would normally find after a nuclear holocost.

So I was wondering if there are any cars enthusiasts like myself on this forum who would know a good place to drive a car like that, a track or a nice road.

Also I think all the M cars fans should meet up for a bit of fun.

Let me know what evreryone thinks

I do appologise if there was a similar post on this forum, but I could not find it.

High Revs,

M6 cabrio is a little slower than the M5 as it weighs 400lbs more. With the top down it's much slower due to drag.

I have had both cars, the m5 is quicker than an m6 vert, due to the extra weight, infact the vert felt sluggish. infact felt disappointed, when i got into the m6 after the m5
hence the ecu remap, exhaust, evosport pulleys, rpi scoops soon sorted that out. It feels good, p400 now is like p500, and p500 is even better.

That sounds pretty cool. I always wondered how it is with insurance and warranty in UK when you do mods like that? Also any good suggestions where you let your beast run free?

Cool pic btw

So are there really so few UK M owners in this forum? I am so00 bored of driving around with tom tom buzzing for cameras all the time, where do you people drive ur M cars in United Kingdom???

True, the BMW M6 COnvertible is significantly slower thna hte BMW M6 Coupe.

Best place to let all the horses free is bruntingthorpe proving ground, Leicester, they have a 2 mile straight also.
Just been there recently, and it was very quite. Its a good laugh!!!

If anybody board members interested, I'm sure we can arrange a get together!!

Deffinatley up for it, I think we should get some more board memebers to join
