I'm looking to buy a used M6 while the rebate has pushed used prices down a little (please don't tell my wife; I have to explain it to her when the time is right). I'm currently using an M3, but can see many instances when the M6 would be better. Question: are there any variations I should know about? Are there "better" serial numbers, due to unannounced, or even announced changes in the construction? Have certain series proven more durable, etc.? Is chrome vs. black anything other than a "cosmetic" distinction? Any advice would be very welcome. I feel quite fortunate that this LUG exists. Thanks, and Happy Holidays. Van Barletta
