In my experience the ///M badge has drivers thinking twice before messing with you. There's a car (I won't mention the make or model) that used to ride my bumper as I drove to work in my previous 6s and S4 that won't even come close to the rear of my M6. I notice that he's still a very aggressive driver with other cars, but not mine. I can't help but laugh whenever I see him because I know he doesn't realize I'm the same driver of the other cars he used to harass.

Good luck with your M6. I can think of a few reasons myself to go from F to M but at the end of the day im probably going to stay in the Toyota family. Hope all stays well and that a few years down the line from now your still happy with the switch.
If I were going to switch i would look for a new one though. May have a few unforeseen problems that the previous owner/dealer may neglect to tell you.
And also Bmw has great financing options if you decide to go that rout. 0 interest for a long while. My sister used the plan to her benefit and payed off her 5 series in a very short amount of time.
Eithe way M6 is a sexy car. Enjoy the
status lol

-1 for me on any mechanical issues so far with 10K on the odometer. But, as a point on semantics, until they happen aren't all mechanical issues "hidden"?

The M6 on the other hand either requires a full multi gear kickdown to get into 4th or something to get itself into proper powerband and then go, but it does get much scarier than the IS-F ever did once you go way past the 6500rpm redline of the IS-F
I love bimmers, I just don't ever admit it.
That was one thing I liked a lot about the IS-F, sport mode made it much more responsive than a normal Lexus, and the transmission as well as the torque really made it fun to just floor it and get upto 80mph from and on ramp
In the M6 it goes too fast if you floor it through a few gears
IS-F was like a video game car, much easier to drive -- and since you can get it up faster you have fun longer, the M6 not so much, but when you do have fun it's a lot more fun -- I hope that made sense?

hahaGosh one thing I miss a most about the IS-F is that it was smooth at slow driving
These F1 style transmission and SMGs and what not are so inelegant.
