Sold M5

RealStig · 02-20-2014, 04:28 PM

Interesting about M6GC, I heard the opposite about it being heavier and not handling as good as M6 or M5. I thought it was being considered as M7 due to the luxury aspects. There was a thread here where people were comparing it against the M5 and everyone found M5 handling better, this was some BMW event, I cant remember.

I drove a 2013 M6GC way back when and didn't care for it...but whatever they did with the 2014CP is amazing.

I found it "Not as good" as the LCI M5 as well, seemed too heavy an lacked the feeling of GO.

It was easy to red line as it felt less powerful than my M5.
Could be because it was lower in stance, but Not for me.

Niko,
Nice meeting you today. Awesome runs. Your M6 is very strong. Let's grab coffee next week if you are available. I will work on some videos, but for now time to nap.

Great colors, looks beautiful. Not usually a fan of 601 wheels but in black on a Moonstone GC they look damn good.

Interesting that you feel the new car more planted, I know I've read both sides of the opinion. Some like it more, some like it less, although rarely does anyone feel they are the same. I thought I had read that BMW tuned the suspension on the GC just a bit softer than the M5...can anyone confirm?
