Ed, the is a small mention of your M6 in Straites Times Life section today. Apparently, yours is the only one that has been registered.
:
It is a similar story with BMW's M division. When BMW agent Performance Motors launched what was then the new M3 in 2001, it sold a dozen cars in one night - at over $320,000 a pop.
Last year, it moved 11 M cars, including a gorgeous but deadly M6.
Unlike Mercedes-Benz, BMW's M division relies on large-capacity naturally aspirated engines to make its racers fly. And they don't fare too badly. The M3 has 107 horses per litre, compared with 102 from the monumental 6-litre Mercedes SL55AMG.
While BMW says it has no plans to introduce forced induction to its M cars, bets are on that it will do so in the near future. After all, the Bavarian marque has returned to making turbos after 30 years, with the new 3-series Coupe.

Remember my story? I was toying with an Integra R type at 220Km/h zig zagging along the CTE. A WRX clocked me but let me go because of the fact that I stopped upon seeing his beautiful blue lights.
but really count yourself lucky as you are still enjoying your M6!

Seriously, its too much of a boy driver type of car. Just sit yourself in one at Mazda Motors and get your friend to snap a photo and you'll know what I mean

haha! this is exactly the statement i got thrice today!!!
ok, i pause for this moment....
Lexus GS? or IS? or another BMW? for the time being. maybe 2 years.
by the way, all E60 owners who do not wish to have another screen like Nuvi Garmin in thier rides, you can have this and incorporate this GPS and connect into the idrive screen.
it will function like the original GPS, only diff is Garmin maps.

i suppose the Integra got free....
One thing I've learned thru the years; once you're caught, play dead. If its your lucky day, you may just get a tongue lashing. No point running or lying; the result would surely be worse; if caught.
