I now drive a 2009 M6 V10 and love every second of it.
Just my 2 cents.
PS: cars I owned
2013 GTR (better sound and way better car than M4)
2008 M3 coupe DCT (2nd best sound) will buy another one to keep
2015 M4 DCT
2014 M6 coupe DCT COMP PACK(better sound than the 6cyl but still suffers from tiny turbos killing any good exhaust note.

The sound and looks is about the only thing the V10 cars have going for them. Be prepared to spend a lot of time in the shop. |
It's an amazing machine. I'm planning on doing oil change every 3k miles and stay on top of everything else.
I was able to find a 2009 with only 32k miles and 11 years of BMW dealer maintenance records by the same owner.
At 9mpg city (the way I drive) it's definitely not a good daily.
