Only way to confirm is through the brakes... unless ofcourse the owner fitted the m6 breaks on it.

I seriously doubt that a 6speed ///M car would be in the works? I think if its not a fake m6, and really is a test mule, maybe they just took off the paddle shifters, and the transmission is still SMG.

Consdering a M5 6 speed is comming out I think this is a 6 spd M6 test mule... and I KNOW its a VDC test Mule, I know the plate... BMW test mules have that plate comming out of Oxnard's VDC.
