I think the preference is based on age and how men view themselves and their image. A 30+ years old man coming out of M6 can look "show off" or awkward at times. I've had M6 and now M5 F10 and I find M5 to be the best overall car in the world, and fastest sedan in the world. M6 is far from being fastest coupe in the world (not even in top 20 probably).

M5 is more a car for "how you see yourself", M6 is more of a car for "how others see you" or "how you want others to see you".
I actually bought it for all those reasons. Kids being a huge part.

I had a 911 and no way would I put my son in the back. Plus his car seat wouldn't fit. 911 is so small it can't carry a stroller etc

I did buy the M5 for the later part of argument as it is the perfect understated car for work but stands out to those who are in the know. Power, styling, performance and luxury. It is the perfect car.

But kids was a major major factor. It allows us to go out together instead of taking the escalade and leaving the 911 in the garage.
100% agree
