While we agree that it's not just about speed, what you fail to see is that not everyone is looking for the same 'feel' or even have the same expectations from their cars. Most that buy M5/6's have no intention to track them, and that's why you don't see them. That's not to say they can't perform well, and they do.

So what does better mean? Having driven both, I'd say the M135i is a better track car, though it's not faster unless your talking about an extremely tight and twisty track. The M6 can't overcome it's weight in that situation, but it's certainly at home on a track, just not designed for it.

I don't think so. You have a particular definition for an M car, others have others.

So the new M3/4 are turbo's, what does that make them?
