Talking hey guys what do u think

ok lets start by saying this i'm currently in kuwait right now making a shit load of cash and i talked my wife in getting an 06 m5. i was going to buy a 08 m3 but right before i left i saw like 7 on the street and now i have change my mind. i'm now looking at the m6 but i wanted to know from u guy which one does better with mods and over all is more rare to see out on the road. i love the m3 but really when it come down to it i also like to stand out of the crowd. so just hit me back and let me know what u think thanks!

to me the M6 is a very beautiful car with understated lines. it is incredible.

but as far as really standing out, i think the M6 blends in a little. i spot them because i love them and have began looking for one. but i see them often in a few of my stores parking lots and they blend in a lot more than the new M3s and even the M5s.

now if you really want it to have that wow factor a nice set of after market wheels and a Vorsteiner VRS boot lid it really steps up the wow factor on the car.

both perform well to aftermarket modifications from what i've read, and seen on a buddies M5 (same motor as M6)

-
is it really wrong to want something that stands out because it's not common, i think not

only M6 i've ever driven had the smg gear box, and i loved it. of course its not as smooth as an auto (no torque converter) and it's not as smooth as i am with a stick but it's a ton of fun in the aggressive modes the shifts are lightning fast and launch control is a pretty nice feature
