If it's for a fun weekend I'd def go for the M4 cab.

JLR1969 · 04-29-2017, 06:49 AM

M6 all day long, the others are nice but not in the way an M6 would be.

On your own M4 with the wife M4 topless...

mm0wax · 04-29-2017, 06:54 AM

Be an M4 for me.

Having also driven them all, I would go for one of the M6s. The M3/M4 are not sufficiently different to your current car.

BMWChap · 04-29-2017, 08:04 AM

I'd never buy an M4 Convertible but I would definitely hire an M4 Convertible, especially in sunny JUNE for maximum posing factor wearing my £1.99 Ray-Ban replica sunglasses

UKF30 · 04-29-2017, 08:30 AM

If you getting hired car then why BMW bro, sure they all will drive same

You in Leeds/Bradford and sure there are few places doing Supercars on hire like lambo/ R8 etc , I have driven M3/M6 but you will never get same drive as SUPERS bro

I know bro but it's the 100 mile limit on mileage with them can't go a decent drive with them!!

By the time I drive back home from Bradford and to take it back that's 40mile!!

Oh didn't know that bro , yea that's out the window then .

M4 coupe will be my choice bro

TouringPleb · 04-29-2017, 11:40 AM

I'd go for the M6 convertible. Looks stunning, will be able to hear that V8 nicely with the roof down.

Long term I think convertibles are too compromised especially in this country but for a few days in the summer I think it would feel more special and different to what you drive every day.

Tengocity · 04-29-2017, 12:02 PM

M6 Cab given its June.

Lynxi2k · 04-29-2017, 12:10 PM

M4 drop top!

Englishbloke · 04-29-2017, 03:08 PM

I've driven all.

The M6 with the roof down is incredible.

Not very practical to own IMO, which makes it perfect for a day's hire

ENJOY. Happy birthday!

Wills2 · 04-29-2017, 03:45 PM

M6 without a doubt.

dopper99 · 04-29-2017, 05:24 PM

Looking on Thrifty's website they state "BMW M6 - or similar"

Could that mean you could end up with a completely different car (but of similar list price) that you may not want to drive?

Good point mate just noticed that when I've gone back on, says that on every car I will be confirming I get exactly what I want before any cash is paid
