IMHO BMW winning just because it is cheaper than the competition is super lame, you are comparing luxury performance coupes, not entry level mass produced sedans (think 3ers vs C-class in which case price would be almost EVERYTHING).
If the M6 is slower by less than a second to be a much better all-rounder, it deserves to win considering all it's faults. Usually I would agree with you, someone looking at 100k+ cars isn't really bothered by price but when performance is pretty much the same, being 50k more expensive for no gain in performance deserves to be a factor.
