BMW lists the M4 at 4.1 0-60, The M6 has pulled a 3.5 (Tested by Car & Driver mag against the RS7 & CLS63) in Gran Coupe version after being listed as 3.6 by BMW, the coupe is even quicker, lighter.

Who is Momma? Cause it is not BMW marketing - and I seriously doubt that the BMW marketing department says "since it costs more, make sure it is faster" - but then again, who knows since I am neither in marketing nor work for BMW.
However, if you look at the links I posted earlier in the thread, BMW shows the M4 at 3.9 seconds with the DCT and 4.1 with the manual transmission. So those silly folks at BMW either made the biggest marketing blunder in the world, or maybe, just maybe that's what BMW thinks is correct and factual?
Either way, I suspect we have taken this thread far enough off topic and if we wish to continue, one of us should start a new thread titled
Which is faster, the M4 or the M6 and does it matter to anyone other than doug,dfi, or m6c?
