Are these parts Interchangeable between F06 M6 and F06 650i?

Just picked up a 15' 650i (xDrive) GC for DDing. Looking to install some mods so I was hoping to get answers to the following questions to assist me in planning:

1. Does the M6 CF interior trim fit? In my research, everything except the shifter console appears to be a direct fit.

2. Do M6 aftermarket mufflers fit? I've seen threads where guys have installed M6 mufflers onto their 650's so I'm assuming if that fits, then aftermarket mufflers for the M6 should fit the 650.

3. Does the M Performance M6 rear trunk spoiler fit. This feels like an obviously yes, but thought I'd ask just in case I'm wrong.

4. Any added value or performance improvements with retrofitting M6 suspension components, e.g., control arms, swaybars, onto the 650?

5. Do rear diffuser's for the M6 fit the 650?

Thanks in advance

Regarding 2, I bought the Megan Racing exhaust for the F06 M6 and it fit my previous F06 650i just fine, although the shop did need to adjust the angle of a couple brackets but nothing they couldn’t easily handle. I plan to do the same with my just-bought F06.

Regarding 5, yes the rear diffuser for the M6 fits the 650i rear bumper once you remove the grey plastic piece that surrounds the exhaust. It’s commonly done when replacing the stock 650i exhaust with quad tips. Just take the stock grey piece off and snap the M6 diffuser in. There is a lower center section that you’d also need, but the OEM version is something crazy like $1,000 so most people get an aftermarket piece to cover up the center bottom area once you have the M6 diffuser in place.

I think you are correct about the CF trim, but that is a rather significant shortfall to not have the center console trim. Later years like 2018 had CF trim in the 650 convertible, but not the GC I don't think.

Guy on here from Poland does CF wrapped trim for G06. Includes the center console. I was considering it.

Thanks. I actually reached out to that guy. I'm considering that option.
