Yes more torque and yes the driving dynamics between the two cannot be different. The new M3/M4 cars are lighter than their predecessors while the M5/M6 have gotten heavier and larger and more complex. Not that they still don't do the job but having driven all three chassis now F10, F06 and now F80; I cannot but help to say that the smaller chassis does drive better dynamically and is more nimble as expected that the larger chassis just cannot do as well. Yes the M6 is a brute as is the M5 but they still cannot overcome the physics portion of the equation they need to deal with as well as the smaller BMW. Much more torque is needed to move the large mass of the larger 5 and 6 series M cars. BMW had done I think a great job of giving each owner something he/she seeks its just their job to figure out which ones are important to them as none of them do all things well. But the M3 to me brings it back and closest to the driving experiences of my e46 and e92 M3s.
