Welcome to the last issue. If you think this year went by quickly, just wait until you meet the latest BMW. The German car manufacturer has churned out another head-turner with its M6 model. Though not due out until 2006, car connoisseurs have had their eye on this super-coupe for some time now. The M6's debut at the Geneva Auto Show made it clear that the M6 will be the manifestation of all of the buzz words that get a driver excited about a car: fast, stylish (better yet, hot), luxurious, expensive and did I mention how extremely fast it is?
With an expected price tag of $100,000, the M6 is well beyond the reach of mere mortals, let alone us lowly students. Nevertheless, as we go off into the summer to take up different endeavors, some that will facilitate our futures and others that will enrich our experiences (and make us more marketable in the long-run), I will leave you with something to aspire to - the 2006 BMW M6. Hey, everyone needs a little motivation.
To examine the M6's exterior, I recommend starting at the back. If you are fortunate enough to see one on the road, it is likely that your glimpse of it will be the back; after the M6 has passed you by that is. Quad-exhaust pipes give this BMW a particularly athletic look. They're also nice to look at after you've been left in the dust. Attractive taillights and the striking "M6" badge complete the backside. Maybe you will be lucky enough to see an M6 parked on the street or stopped at a traffic light, in which case you'll be able to admire its 19-inch aluminum alloy wheels - no further "pimping" necessary. If you do find yourself capable of really examining this vehicle, do not forget to take a glimpse at the M6's carbon-fiber roof, designed not only for aesthetics, but also to reduce weight and lower the vehicle's center of gravity. This BMW's front has secondary intake openings below the trademark grill vents and Xenon headlights that help to cool the large engine and cross-drilled brakes.
