I recently test drove a 12 650i and I was impressed.
I thought it was going to be terrible because it is such a big car.
I felt like it shrank around me. It was faster than I thought because of the massive torque.
I had to use my imagination and pretend it was lowered with 21's, which will make it feel more sporty.
The technology is just superb.
I liked the car so much I haven't been able to stop thinking about it.

If I liked the 650i so much, I can only imagine how much I will like the M6.

Maybe I like the car so much because I have been driving modded Lexus the last 15 years.
I like the luxury steering but lowered with low profile tires adds in some sport.
Just what I like.

Thats great.

I think a lot of reviewers remember cars like the E30 and when these are different well, for them that doesn't compute. They spend a few hours or at most days with a car. We have to live with them and thats where I've found BMW **almost always** gets it right.

I'm not feeling the F12. I think it will be an M5 for me this time around.

Just a question, did you order your coupe and if so how did you get yours so early? I ordered mine back when it was announced and first got week 39 production and now told week 42. Very disappointed with BMW.
