Besides the Grin from cheek to cheek, this car is a MONSTER! Braking, cornering, it feels totally different than the regular 6 series. Acceleration, speed OMFG words can't describe, its like nothing else I've driven before, it just wants to keep going...
Asides that, the gas mileage yes is horrible, currently at 26.x L /100KM LOL
Can't wait to start modding this puppy...Attachment 103251

yeah until you find the right ones!
So, you'll need to play and then set you're M button and then dont think about it until you want to play off-road
I've found the best setup for my M button, which is my daily settings are : P500S/S5/MDM/EDC Normal
Things to consider: EDC Normal allows the EDC to do its thing, meaning its active and allows the suspension to be active...So keep in mind that even though the urge may be to select Sport, by doing so you are locking the suspension at its lowest/hardest setting so it has no give, which may be OK for a track, but not good for daily street roads...Also, at M School, the pros have found that EDC comfort it their choice for wet conditions, we actually run in EDC soft for one of the wet training courses...EDC comfort allows the EDC to 'move' the most, or be most active, giving you a little added movement to ensure the rubber sticks to the road in most all conditions.
go out and play some more!

My Ride: See sig :)
Wow thanks for the tips! I read the manual many times, but doesn't explain crap lol. Someone should do a M drive tutorial for dummies.
Car is at BMW dealership
few things needed fixing, hopefully have her back soon, that v10 rumble is so damn addicting.
Have any of you m5/m6 boys replaced the stock resonators in the front with straight pipes, and remove the rear resonator and install xpipe? Stock exhaust isn't too bad, I think by doing so it could scream a tad louder... ?
On a side note, having h&r springs installed on friday
