Replying to: donthaterong (Nov 30, 2005 11:55 am) You are absolutely correct. I worked for Porsche in Germany and had several 911 as an employee perk and now that I live in the US I drive a 645 Convertible. I love both cars but they are not in the same class. The 911 is a sports car and the 6-series BMW is a Gran Turismo. Just as you had said. It's comparing apples with oranges...

Replying to: Sylvia (Aug 17, 2005 7:25 pm) Interesting video. I have had an M6 Cabrio on order for over 2 years, only to be told this week by my dealer, that BMW will not now be releasing the M6 Cabrio. Frustrated - just a bit. Instead they want to sell me a coupe now. Is this just a ploy I ask myself!!

Interesting! I am in the same position of having a long standing deposit... Could you tell me where/which dealer told you the convertible would not happen? Thanks... Replies to this message: sadinw (Apr 15, 2006 10:00 am)

Replying to: peterwbaker (Feb 03, 2006 7:49 am) I've had my M6C deposit down since I picked up my 2003 M3C. Last week the dealer offered me a June build M6 coupe. I went to the dealership yesterday to write the order. Imagine my surprise when they told me the M6C would be out in September (whether September was order, build, or delivery wasn't clear).   First time they've even confirmed there was such a thing as an M6C, so it's a good sign.

Replying to: arvin1 (May 17, 2006 3:02 pm) The m6 looks real good and I hears from places that tested it that is GOOD!!!   Well, I'm heres to tell ya that its only good if you like exceedingly heavy GT's that don't offer much in the way of a crisp handling visceral sports car.   Given that we can fit our family of four in our 911S Cab, I honestly can't see the appeal of a massively heavy 2 seater like the SL55 or a more massively heavy, barely 2+2 GT like the M6. But, to each their own. Replies to this message: alex12342011 (Aug 04, 2006 8:30 pm) alex12342011 (Aug 04, 2006 8:36 pm) erickpl (Aug 07, 2006 11:20 am) spiritinthesky (Sep 14, 2006 7:41 am)

Replying to: habitat1 (May 18, 2006 5:57 am) Bmw m6 will tear up porsches and even ferraris! Reason being is that although ferraris and porsches have faster acceleration, the m6 will have more torque at 200km/h than 911 twin turbo porsches. Same with ferraris. Why pay hundreds of thousands of dollars when you could get an m6 for just over 120 grand?   Check out these videos.link titlehttp://video.google.ca/videoplay?docid=3719608384614574466&q=bmw+m6 link title http://video.google.ca/videoplay?docid=-997803908557772668&q=bmw+m6  LOOK AT THIS VID An m5 beats ferrari 550 m and porsche 911. The m6 is even faster than the m5. Shows you the power of a v10. link title Replies to this message: alex12342011 (Aug 04, 2006 8:36 pm) erickpl (Aug 07, 2006 11:20 am) spiritinthesky (Sep 14, 2006 7:41 am)

Replying to: alex12342011 (Aug 04, 2006 8:30 pm) Bmw m6 has awesome torque and great stopping power. If you take out the catalytic convertor and put an exhaust,headers, take out all of the limiters, and put an intake and computer chip. The m6 will have about 700hp! It will kick a 911's or ferrari's butt anyday, and it will also cost less doing that. Look out! The m6 is here! It even beats motorcycles!

Replying to: alex12342011 (Aug 04, 2006 8:36 pm) I can understand your excitement about the M6 - it is a beast. But talking about taking out a piece of equipment required by US Federal law and making claims about the M6 beating a motorcycle border on silly.   If you have proof of an M6 beating out a motorcycle (video preferred) I'd sure like to see it. I could see it perhaps beating some cycle cruisers or such, but put it up against a crotch rocket and there is NO WAY.   Taking out the limiters I can see being done, perhaps by Dinan.   Exhaust and intake mods will give you some power, but you'll get more results from the chip and limiter changes than you will exhaust and intake.   While I would LOVE an M6 Cabrio, the reality is you cannot put it on any sanctioned track due to insurance liabilities. So if you can't track it, where can you LEGALLY drive it to its potential? If I were to get an M6, I'd go with the coupe version, if for no other reason than to be able to track it and drive it in a controlled arena where I don't have to worry about Joe Isuzu getting in the way while drinking his Starbucks and talking on his cell phone.   -Paul
