Speculation on the M6, which will be a much lower production, is that they will go from 20 to 30K over sticker. Time will tell...
My local dealer has over 30 deposits on M6's, the reason is that they are the nearest dealer north of LA that sells at MSRP. I was lucky to find a dealer with a mere three... another 150 miles north in a very small BMW market.

I'm actually pretty stoked about this purchase, but I'm trying to stay a bit reserved. I don't want to rush anything and could use a few months breather, money has been flowing outta here like water for the last year or so...If the dealer is slow in getting cars (1 every two months), I'll likely time the build to have one built in the Sept. timeframe where a new version of the TPMS will become available and it will be a 2007. (I'm not sure if it will be a 2007 when released???)

since the m6 is just too rare, a m5 will do

I don't figure the M6 is worth 25 to 30 large more than the M5 but all the BMW-only magazine reviews claim it has a noticebly lower CG for MUCH better track manners. So that skidpad comparison is worthless.
But it is certainly a worthy object of lust.
