After I drove the M6, I felt that it should be a lot lighter for the money you pay. This is why in my opinion, if u want an M6 or even a Gran Coupe for that matter, it's best to buy one used, that way you don't waste your money from the massive depreciation on an overpriced car.

Drag times database using your own car actually as the M5 example . In this case the only verified stock M6 time is 11.65 @ 123.7. And your filter only M5 at 11.84. @ 120.8 mph . And your car is by far the fastest M5 I've seen . I know I'm not counting your recent v box data but that's apples to oranges as it was on a 2% downslope and an awesome DA.

Oh and by the way a bone stock (PSS too ) comp pack M6 won the Grassroots motorsports Ultimate car challenge at VIR running a 2:12 on the VIR full course ( showroom stock class ) . It was actually 1 second faster than the GMP performance modded E 92 m3 too . That's an awesome time for a stock 41xx pound GT , hell that's an awesome time for anything , especially since it's from an amateur driver , not a team . The M6 is worth every penny I payed for it because it's what I preferred ( I thought the M5 was too soft ) . My CP coupe arrives next week! Both are fantastic though !

I agree if the conversation is about an M5 vs M6 coupe... That particular M6 also was sporting the CC brakes which further add to its power to weight ratio... And I kind of doubt the driver of that M6 weighs 240+lbs like moi. Last edited by Tom C; 09-21-2013 at 11:33 PM.. |

The GC is sexy(: See I didnt say 991. If the GC was out when I purchased my M5 last year I would have purchased the GC. Oh well I'm still satisfied with the M5 no need to keep up with the Jones for me. Hell I can only go so fast.

I just joined this forum to learn and share my enjoyment of BMW's: NOT to have my English syntax, my IQ, or lack of BMW knowledge picked apart by lurkers just waiting to be uppity. Hell, if I knew everything about BMWs why would I be on the forum? |

I am on the same boat. If the GC was out I would have bought it, but the M5 puts a huge smile on my face every time I drive it and not once I had any regrets.

If the M6 GC had some decent weight loss that could possibly justify the additional 20+% increase in price, I would agree. But there is just no justification IMHO for that premium.

The M6 is hot but I wanted 4 doors for when the kids are in town, and that's it. The M6 was out before the M5 hit the states, and I had a 650cic so didn't want another 6 even if it was an M. A coup at 4300 lbs doesn't do it for me, but the GC is a different story(:

With the 6-series you pay a premium, just like you do with a Panamera, because there are no cheap, low end, version of the 6-series, like there is with the 5-series. That means it has a more upmarket interior and not least, more upmarket perception. When you see a 6-series, you know it's a expensive car with a high price tag and big(ish) engine. See a 5-series and you want to check on the trunk to see if it's a 520 or a higher end version (or check number of tailpipes). That means BMW can charge a premium since people are suckers for exclusivity etc. And the GC looks GORGEOUS
Obviously for the average buyer a car salesman is your guide and counsellor in choosing the correct car for you. I have NEVER bought a car that way though. I read all the magazines, forums, articles online and brochures that I can come across. I then figure out what is possible within my budget and which car I want. The salesman is just an instrument in getting me the car I want and have specced. Last edited by Boss330; 09-23-2013 at 10:25 AM.. |
