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...

Replying to: arvin1 (May 17, 2006 3:02 pm) 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. |

Replying to: alex12342011 (Aug 04, 2006 8:36 pm) 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 |

So I probably have twice as many years of experience with owning "M" cars as 99.9% of other BMW "enthusiasts". The M6 is a fine GT car. It is not a sports car. My 4,000 lb 2003 M5 would give it a run for it's money on a slalom course or twisty mountain road. In fact, given that mine is a 6-speed manual, it would probably win in everything but a drag race. Upshifting the M5/M6 7-speed SMG is fine, downshifting or going back and forth in corners is not. The new M5/M6 have 500 hp, but "only" 383 ft lbs of torque. My 2003 M5 has 400 hp/ 369 ft-lbs. The Porsche Turbo I have coming next month is rated at 480 hp, but 505 ft lbs of torque with overboost. And it is a half ton lighter than the M6. The Porsche Turbo - at $128k with options, by the way - is devestatingly quicker, faster and better handling than the M6. Period. I have had both on a track and say that from 100% personal experience, as a BMW enthusiast and owner, not a speculative video watcher or magazine reader. Compare the M6 to a SL55/SL65 or some other 2+ ton GT. But don't compare it to a true sports car like the Turbo or Ferrari 430 or it will come up looking like less of a car than it really is. |
