Lovely, I really like that M6, what a stance and perfect combo!
it was lovely inside and out. Written-off by its next owner, sadly.
That might be a car I need to have a some point!
Evo IX MR FQ340?
I know these cars are a bit Marmite to some... But here is mine after it was detaled/protected.. and before the awful Bridgestone tyres were consigned to the recycling centre...
Looks cracking. The M135i was my second choice after the Cayman. I was really struggling with colours though, and think it'd of had to of been Black Sapphire for us. My Auntie has the exact same car as yours so couldn't of had the same! I also prefer the 19" wheels.I know these cars are a bit Marmite to some...

What tyres did you go for? I'm swapping my Pirellis out for Pilot Sport 4S's next week.

I really the new 1 and 2 series. They do seem to get a bit of flack but I think the look really good, especially in the right trim.
Sorry I actually meant that the 18"s on your car were my favourite, the 19"s were a bit busy for me plus throw in the worse ride quality. I thought they were actually 19"s, and the upgrade was the 20"s. I've gotten so used to wheels being massive these days, 18" seems small.I had the Pirelli P Zeros (whatever version they were) on the Golf and they were actually not so bad... They are an option in size for the M135... I think they are a tyre that suit some cars better than others...
ps - in all honesty, apart from looks, possibly, I think the 18" wheels/tyres suit the car better... I test drove a car on 19" and it felt perhaps a little too much on those... I think you need adaptive if you go for 19's... I don't have adaptive... It just is what it is...
pps - colour is a point on all BMW's now... Ideally, if I could afford one, I would have had an individual colour... but you get little value out of that in a few years time... so it is just a luxury... fortunately, I liked both the blue I got and Storm Bay, so it was just a choice, and I thought the blue suited the car's nature better... storm bay is a little more for under the radar...
I've had them previous on BMW's and Mini, and my works van. Not really by choice, other than that's what they came with. But I've found probably in the last 4/5 years the quality has really dropped off, the ones on the Mini were shocking too plus they were Run Flats. I was going to go PS4 next on the Mini before it was written off.Best tyres on the market by far the 4S. I detest Pirellis.

Yes Tanzanite has always been my favourite, I also saw a Ruby Black X6 about 10 years ago that was lovely. I think BMW's colour offering in the M Sport models is very poor. They don't even offer a silver anymore, although they've just brought in that new Skyscraper Grey. that I believe is a bit more silver than grey.
Our Porsche has the P Zeros, and they've been subjected to the common cracking which I'm not overly happy about. They're shocking at anything less than 10oc, I know they are a summer tyre really but they're really poor. I also find on poor road surfaces they either seem to float or tram line. Everyone in the owners club say that the PS4s are the ones to go for, so we'll see. You also get the juddering at low speeds when turning, however with the PS4s it's meant to resolve that issue.
With the Michelin tyres, the 18" look much more square and seem to look "better" than on the Bridgestone tyres you see in that shot...
