If you couldn't rev the M6 beyond 4k...then your observation is pointless. Hell even my M3 is ordinary till the 4k mark. M cars sing past 5k and unless you were able to experience the car in full M mode...your 1 mile observation stands to fault. Sorry bud.

I'm trying to figure out why anyone would discuss an M6 and it's canyon carving abilities, it's rawness or it's driver involvement. Its a high horsepower 4k+ lb large GT car not a nimble drivers car; not even close to even an M3 which is now also a GT car. An M6 has never been a drivers car. It's just bastardizing the original intent and M breed. Do you think the same person is cross shopping an M6 or an SL Benz with even an M3? If they are they are seriously confused on what they hell they want. IMO a former M3 owner that is now looking at An M6 is someone that wants something "more expensive" but doesn't want the driving involvement of something like a 911 but wants an M badge.

lol...are you guys seriously getting upset about my observations...here i was thinking we were all enthusiasts haha
how many times did i sate that this car is aimed at a demographic, or is my hacked english on a car forum not legible enough for you guys. If you're all so interested in the car go down to your nearest dealer and test drive it.... |

An M6/M5 is simply BMW's submission into the GT and Sports Saloon market. Similar to what Porsche did with the Panamera, or Maserati with a GranTurismo, or Jaguar with an XKR (S), etc. |

The M6 just caters to a completely different driver/buyer imo. |

I never said it couldn't be done vis a vis lap times. I'm saying that once you go bigger than a car the size of an M3 (such as a Panamera, M6, M5, CTS-V, etc.) you lose those attributes that make it a "driver's car" and it becomes a sporty cruiser type.

Btw a lot of M3 drivers trade their M3's for other cars like the GT-R that lack rawness,or cant be considered driver's car. There are many GT-R vs M3 threads,that's what makes car forums i guess. i really enjoyed the OP's review although i kind of expected the outcome. I think his review was spot on. |

The point of my post wasn't to the OP. It was to those that are trying to compare the driving dynamics of an M3 vs this new M6. I agree with the OP's review as well. |

I'll reserve my judgements for this car seeing that you barely even drove it. I also find it highly unlikely you got the rear to slide out during a test drive. That is just plain abuse and not sure any dealer would tolerate that.
