2013 BMW M6 w/ HRE Wheels, Akrapovic Exhaust, H&R Springs & more from GMP Performance
For this BMW M6, the first goal was sound. Our customer wanted a deep, aggressive sound that would mirror the power and appearance of the M6. With the addition of an Akrapovic Evolution exhaust, that was easily achieved. Their Evolution Titanium system would not only give the sound notes we were aiming for but also be significantly lighter while boosting power and torque and increasing responsiveness. Then it was time for a whole lot of pop. Starting with HRE Wheels and Michelin Pilot Super Sports, we touched on everything from reflectors, black grills, pedals, and new emblems. We finished over with H&R lowering springs, for the ultimate in sleek appearances.
Parts Installed: BMW F12/F13 M6 Evolution Line Exhaust System (Titanium) by Akrapovic BMW M6 (F12/13) H&R Sport Springs HRE S101 Michelin Pilot Sport The Build Akrapovic Exhaust OE Exhaust OE Exhaust Removed Titanium muffler New Akrapovic exhaust system Installing the new Akrapovic system Black grills, Side marker lights, and Painted reflectors New painted rear reflectors OE reflectors Tail light and OEM reflector removed Painted reflector installed New grills, side markers, and painted front reflectors Front bumper cover removed Front grills and side reflectors removed New grill on right Oem on left New painted reflector on top, Oem on bottom Painted reflectors installed Black grills installed Bumper cover reinstalled Removal of side grills New black grill installed HRE Wheels Before New HRE S101 After H&R Lowering Springs Oem front spring Oem rear spring H&R lowering springs Front spring removed and H&Rs installed Rear spring removed Rear H&R installed Now this M6 is ready to stun and stun it most definitely does. The owner was so happy with it, he arranged to have a photo shoot done of this beauty. As soon as we get the finished pictures, we will be sure to share them with you so keep an eye out for the photo shoot coming soon! For more on this build, visit its gallery here.

Wow those wheels are horrendous - probably the worst I've seen on these forums.

With the massive amount of wheel options we have available, I am sure we could find something that would be less offensive to you.

Didn't mean to be rude - I guess I could have said it a different way. The wheel just has so much going on - and it appears to be 20". I only think black/monoblock wheels work for the 20" on the M6 since the wheel well is so large. The multi-piece fitment of the 20" makes the wheel look much smaller than it really is.

It is a 21 and busy with the black rim. Otherwise solid and high quality. I have a 20 inch of the same wheel but a brushed clear rim and it makes it less busy

Nice wheel!!
Yes, the gloss black outer lip on these wheels can blend in with the tires in these pictures, which takes away a little from the style. We should have professional photo shoot images available soon which really show the detail. The wheels pictured are 21" wheels.

No matter that color they are, the S101 is an amazing wheel.
