Traded my X in on this...
 

07 22K miles with every option. Sorry I haven't been here much lately but just got back from another 6 month overseas deployment a few days ago. Always wanted an M6 and those 6 months away from home this year and 6 months gone last year enabled me to save my pennies to make it happen.

I've never drove an M6 until I drove mine home and WOW is this an amazing car!!!

I'll check in once in a while & everyone have a great weekend!

They are great cars. I wish I could afford one, or the new F10 550i...

You're gonna have plenty of fun with it!

Great looking car!!! Most of all though, thank you for what you do!!!!!!!!!!!!

:wow: Dean! Congrats!

Wow! Congrats. Nice reward for putting your ass on the line. I am sure you have earned it. Thanks for what you do. :thumbup:

Congrats.

Congrats on the M6. Glad to hear you got the car that you've always wanted.

Does it drive nearly as fast as your jets? lol Awesome M Power

Sweeeeet! Talk about something to look forward to coming home too :rofl: Enjoy

Auto or stick?

Very nice ultimate driving machine there. I wish I would have found some of your posts before you traded your X you could have taught me a few things im in Hampton.

you're dreaming. Oh wait no that's me.

It's a stick. I'm sure the SMG 7 speed is a great trans but I need to shift to be more of a part of this car. It was difficult finding a black on black 07 with the 6 speed and had to go all the way to Dallas to find it.

I've upgraded the intake with some ram air scoops, BMC filters and block-off plates all from RPI. Cut off the secondary CATS, H-pipe and resonator and replaced with an X-pipe and straight pipe. Based on dyno results from others that have done this it should now be over 550 HP. Sounds very close to this Youtube clip...

sent goose bumps all over! Amazing

So when you're not flying, your still flying...! You need to put that one little sticker on the back that says "My other ride is an F 22" (or whatever you kids are flying these days :D)

Thanks Michelle! I miss you guys!!! (But my new car makes me miss you less!!!) :)

Now that I like. Doubt you managed to get an even trade in for the X5, or did you?

nigwhyrito; I'll be driving my car to Hampton in a few weeks. Let's meet at Hooters one day for dinner and I'll give you a ride. Send me a personal message with your number & I'll call you when I get there with the car.

No, it for sure wasn't an even trade. This car was $104,900 new and after taxes & everything else came to about $56K. The 06's were another 5K less so they're becoming at least somewhat affordable now.

Dean! Congrats! Beautiful car!!!!
Thank you for your service!!

Hello all of my old X5 friends!
 

Haven't checked in for a while and just wanted to say hello. Am in Dallas right now out-processing for yet another overseas tour. This time I'm going to Afghanistan for 1 year and will be advising the Afghan National Police so it definitely won't be a cushy tour like my recent ones. Have had lots of M4 & M9 weapons training this past week so we'll be armed to the teeth expecting the worse while spending lots of time at the police stations.

The M6 is running great and have now added an underdrive pulley to the upgrades. When I return home next July I'll send the ECU off for a remap & upgrade the wheels to the lightest black wheels I can find. Still amazed at this car and will definitely miss her until I come home.

Hope you're all having a great Summer & take care!

Dean

I have been thinking about adding the pulleys to my e46 M3. May have to pull the trigger on that one.

Thank you and be safe over there. Also, let me know if you need anyone to drive the M until you return. I can make sure the battery is charged up and the seals stay lubricated if you want? :D

OMG it sounds like a Viper in that clip.

And of course I must include my favorite sound of all time:
