Cuz when you buy a M6, rules don't apply to me

[usctrojancpa]

It's a 4 door gran coupe M6.  Not sure what you mean by not a 'real M6'.  It's still a M6 albeit with 2 more doors for easier access to shove my mistresses in for a backseat quickie on a Wednesday afternoon.  Both cars advertised as 0-60 4.1secs while only the convertible, always heavier, is rated at 0-60 4.3 secs.

I understand that BMW sells the M6 coupe, convertible and Gran Coupe. Call me a traditionalist but when people say they drive a "M6" I only imagine the 2 door version. But congratulations on a nice ride!

thanks for the congrats.  But let me ask you this. 

The E60 M5 was a monster V-10 engine.  That thing did 0-60 4.2 second.  AND it was speed delimited.  It's top speed was 204 mph.  And...let's not forget, it was a 4 door.

The M4 today, is still governed at 155mph. 

So you're telling me the M5 is not 'M' worthy because of the doors?  ;D ;D

BMW will sadly never make another glorious V10 like that again. I love the sound of that engine screaming to redline.

Unfortunately it won't be long before all cars are turbo, hybrid turbos, electric, or something else other than gas burning engines.  I think it's possible that the 992 GT cars (next model of Porsche GT cars) will not be N/A.

Thanks to VW dieselgate, they've also found smaller displacement turbo engine works well in lab testing condition but not in the real word situation in terms of emission.  Now some manufactures are thinking of going back to bigger displacement NA engine.

Maybe, just maybe there's hope that Porsche may go back to NA flat 6 in the future.

Damn son! Awesome!!
Please enjoy it in fun and take it to the track one of these days >

I have the new M3 and while it's awesome fun, it's still a twin turbo 6 and can't duplicate the sound of an v8.  I'm officially jealous  ;D

OH WOW i did NOT know that right in IR, i got ///M Fans sweet, well that makes it yet another great city to own a house and live in, i will be buying my m4 soon !

Yeah the extra weight is usually only in the convertibles
It's the same for the F80 M3 and the M4.  Almost identical numbers across the board, from weight to performance.  I wanted the M4 but I needed 4 doors  ;D

The M4 v M3 looks debate has been beaten to death ten thousand times at f80post.com.  You know that.  But basically, my opinion is the M4 looks better from the side, obviously its a coupe.  So naturally it has beautiful curves like a woman shaped like a coke bottle.  But there is no denying that the M3 looks like a beast from the rear with those flared fenders.  That's just something not in the M4.  They did that in the M3 because they didn't have space so they had to flare it out.  But I guess that was a good thing. 

If you are between 18-27, M4 may be your thing.  But 30 and over, to keep the wife and kids happy, M3 makes more sense.  Provided of course, the car is your daily driver.  If not, then forget the Ms.  Get a Porsche GT4 for the track. 

Yep, m3 got hips! This is my daily driver so went with the M3.  4 doors have saved me countless times with the extra storage space and parking in tight spots when I open the door.  I think the m3 rear looks much better, especially with spacers since it gives out a really wide stance 

Other benefit is I got the newer LED rear tail lights on my 2016 model.  The m4 as of now still has the original taillights, so they probably won't get it until they release the lci in a year or two.  Lots of people are anticipating the m4 GTS rear OLED lights, but I'm not certain they do it to maintain the exclusivity of the GTS

I loved the E46 M3 platform....lighter, more raw, and sexy.  Then the M started to get too porky, especially with the E9X.  The damn things overheat at the track and need brake upgrades to stop.  Plus now they lost me with the whole turbo thing.  N/A 4LYFE!

Preach brotha, PREACH!  Now to get my hands on an ACR... or your GT4

I'm waiting for the X5M Coupe.  That would be a site.

It's already here, it's called X6M.

According to Germans, its a 4 door SAV coupe.

Sorry...............but a true baller would have gone with the Alpina B6...........

Then you can park in all zones, Red, Green, White, etc.......

Nice ride man!

Don't worry, BMW will always make N/A engines..... in .mp3 form.  Your annoyed neighbors won't know the difference if the roar is coming out of the exhaust pipe or high end speakers.

My GT4 is pretty much fully track prepped...was even running hoosiers on it during the last track event (see the attached picture).

Nice choice BB - you've got excellent taste  I'll look out for you on the streets - not a lot of M6 GCs around these parts of Irvine.
Try taking it out on some icy terrain as seen here. Gotta Love Pennzoil marketing

The paddle shifters are just as good 

 

[iacrenter]

A dual clutch transmission better fits the intentions of a large / powerful executive saloon. Save the manual for smaller sports cars.

That probably means you can't drive a manual.  Its a lost art these days.

True, you got me. Does that mean I'm out for the future ferraris and lambos - are these still traditional stick or paddle shifters?
