and no, there wouldnt be a "significant" difference in track time. but id bet that if you took the same "average" driver and allowed them to complete the same exact lap in the m5 and m6, they would do better in the m6, how much better? neither of us know that for sure.
and BMW "saying" the m6 provides a better experience wouldnt alone make people buy the m6 over the m5, if it didnt hold to be true in real life.
if BMW "said" the M6 was a better driving experience than a ferrari 458 Italia, do you think everyone woud buy it over the ferrari? i dont think so.

The M6 appeals to a buyer for its styling, not its slight performance potential over the M5. I haven't driven an M6, but I have to think that at the usual, legal speed limits used during a test drive there is little or no difference in the driving experience. Especially if the buyer has the knowledge to push the set up buttons for the ride feel they want. And, as you say, we won't know if either of our claims is valid for the track.
